It should be noted that it is getting harder and harder to purchase a prepaid set in Japan. Because of concerns that such units have been used by kidnappers in the past, the Japanese Legislature has tightened the standards for obtaining these handsets. Identification is required for these units to be purchsed and most identification has to be Japanese and demonstrate some sort of residency.
Both DoComo and Voda have rental programs at Narita where you get a 3g handset and a SIM for around $6 a day. These phones have free incoming. For short term stays, these units with a callback service might be your best bet.

Thanks Stu for your info; Riing has become part of United Mobile, and the United site doesn't have Japan as a coverage country.
