You were able to order a SIM card online? Did you have to do anything to activate it? I was under the working understanding that Japan required government ID verification for SIM cards.

SIM cards are widely sold at vending machines in airports and train stations in Japan. I believe that the ID requirement is waived if the SIM has limited validity, as these tourist-oriented SIMs do.

It was a tourist one (something like 10GB for 21 days). You just open the package and activate it with a credit card on the company's website. I think you need to provide flight info for your return trip leaving the country and that's how they verify you're a tourist.
