4G data enabled device for 3 months

greetings all, and thanks for providing such insightful and useful information on these forums. This summer I will return to Japan for a 3 month internship. I found that in my previous times in Japan the most useful tool I had was a data enabled device which allowed me to use my GPS and maps feature, and internet. I also liked to have data connectivity on the phone, but did not need voice at all. I know that there are prepaid Sims which I have used in the past from b-mobile, however, they were always 3G, relatively expensive for little amounts of data, and always kept my downloads at horrible slower speeds. This summer I was wondering if there were any resources available to somebody who was staying for an extended stay to get a 4G enabled device. I was wondering if it would even be possible to buy perhaps a tablet on Amazon Japan and somehow acquire a SIM card. My phone is about a year old so I am due for an upgrade but I know that United States phones especially those on Verizon will not work on the 4G network in Japan. So my final question is this --is there a SIM card available for extended stay which is reasonably priced for which I can stick in a tablet or mobile phone that I can get in Japan?or is there another way to go about this? Thanks very much.
