SIM and WiFi for Tourists in Japan

Hello,
We'll be staying for a week in Japan as Tourists. Is there a way we can buy a SIM card (data only) that we can use for Google Maps and Navigation? I've read that Pocket Wifi's also can be rented.
Any advise on what to do when we land at Narita Airport to get connected? Where we can purchase the SIM and find an affordable pocket wifi to rent.
Thanks all very much!

Order online before you arrive (cheaper).
A lot of people recommend GAC (Global Advanced Communications). I actually am renting some extra units for someone and using JapanWireless (part of HIS) and I noticed they were cheaper than GAC.

Note that you can also rent a SIM card as you can only buy a pre-paid SIM card with a Temporary Visitor visa (I believe). In the end we went with renting a pocket WiFi. We picked ours up Narita airport.
