*In Japan, mobile bills are generally postpaid. This will be problematic when you leave the country because you will be required to close your bank account (which you may set as a debit account for the mobile bills) before you leave the country. You can negotiate with GTN Mobile about how to make your final payment. They might be able to suggest what payment method will be most suitable for you.
**It is difficult to get a credit card if you don't have a credit history earned in Japan. However, GTN will be your guarantor for a credit card if you are a subscriber to their service. On top of that, you will get a discount on the monthly mobile bills for having a credit card from them.
GTN Mobile is recommended for those who are looking for sim cards with reasonable plans, multilingual support, a simple application process, etc.
