Help!

I arrived in Tokyo today, expecting my portable wifi to be in the mail, but it's not there and I'm getting out of Tokyo tomorrow at noon so I can't wait here for a redelivery. Anyone can recommend a shop I can rush to in the morning to buy portable wifi or a data sim card? I don't need a phone number.

I'm staying at an airbnb apartment, so I had its address put down for delivery. And I did clear it with the host beforehand, but it wasn't in the mailbox when I arrived :( the mailbox isn't frequently cleared, so it was full of spam and maybe the package didn't fit, or it plain didn't arrive - I can't tell because the company (eConnect Japan) doesn't send notices on successful delivery.

I was at a Yodobashi store yesterday and saw that they now stock visitor data SIMs. Maybe it's store-dependent?

Do you remember which store? I'm heading to Akihabara today.

So I was checking out Yodobashi at Shinjuku and they do have sim cards for visitors, but I didn't actually buy one because nearby Y!Mobile rents out mobile wifi. If anyone's ever unlucky enough to be in my situation though it's worth checking out both options to compare.

Thanks for the advice everyone :)
