Which is the best Japan Sim Card for travellers?

What this video shows
From the guide “Japan Cash or Card? How to Pay on Your Trip”: Bring both a bank card and some yen. Cards are useful at many large hotels, department stores, large shopping centers and city restaurants, but some smaller businesses and rural accommodation may require cash.
The guide goes on: “Compare the payment methods”. Cash and cards solve different problems, so choose based on the bill or journey in front of you.
From the guide “Japan IC Card Guide for Tourists: Which Card to Buy, Where to Get It and How Refunds Work”: A Japanese IC card lets you pay for many train and bus rides by tapping a card, phone or watch. You can also use the stored balance at participating convenience stores, vending machines and other shops.
