SIM card rental for iPhone 5

Hi all,

I'll be living and working in Niigata prefecture this summer for about 7 weeks. I'd like to rent a SIM card for my unlocked iPhone 5 at Narita or elsewhere.

Softbank says that they will rent 1,550 yen / day for unlimited. It doesn't say anything about iPhone 5, nor does it offer any other pricing structure other than unlimited data. I don't need that much.

Can anyone suggest a SIM card rental option that works for them in Japan for iPhone 5 that is cheaper than 1,550 for unlimited data?

Thanks!

I wanted to add my two cents as well. You can also go to Bic Camera and get a SIM card for your phone. You pay for the SIM card and can top off with more. It cost me about 7000 for 2.5 gigs of data. Prepaid. IPhone 5s. If you need SMS or voice the price will differ.
