Anyone been to #Osaka know of any cheap/good value mobile internet option i.e. a physical/e Sim you could buy at the airport or in town?

My requirements are at least 10 days of internet connectivity and the higher data cap the better but ideally has (at least) basic unlimited data beyond the given limit. Stuck between getting any of these options I have found atm:

- #Airalo (6.50 USD/~27.98 MYR): 2GB TOTAL (seems incredibly little), 15 days

- Airalo (8.50 USD/~36.59 MYR): 3GB TOTAL (still little, no?), 30 days

- Airalo (11.50 USD/~49.50 MYR): 5GB TOTAL (ok, I guess?), 30 days

- Airalo (18.00 USD/~77.48 MYR): 10GB TOTAL, 30 days

- #NTTdocomo (~16.72 USD/71.99 MYR): 10GB TOTAL (unlimited basic), 10 days

- #CelcomDigi (my local telco) (~22.77 USD/98.00 MYR): 3GB DAILY (unlimited basic), 14 days

- #Softbank (~23.64 USD/101.75 MYR): Unlimited (supposedly), 10 days

Data usage would probably be more comprised of things like a lot of social media (i.e. #Instagram for my partner), messaging, a little bit of internet calls (i.e. #WhatsApp, #Facetime), and probably a ton of misc things you'd need in #Japan like #Google Maps/Translate, browsing, etc.

I've a ton of mobile data locally and rarely use them cos I'd be on WiFi instead most of the time, so honestly not sure how much data we'd need.
