In japan there is no concept of selling SIM card to customer , without
handset and contract
of services, so for you it will be difficult to buy only SIM as in other

You need to go to any official carrier's shops, as resellers only
sell subscription bundled with handset. Calling plans are exactly
the same. Getting SIM card only subscription is in fact a subset
of getting a SIM card subscription bundled with handset.
