Shizuoka City is offering free WiFi router rental, NINJA WiFi, to foreign visitors. With NINJA WiFi, you can stay connected anytime and anywhere in Japan!
I have found this free rental while searching the tourist information. You must pick it up from Shizuoka city which is located 1 hour west of Tokyo or 1.5 hour east of Kyoto by bullet train. If you are using JR pass from Tokyo to Kyoto, you can drop by at Shizuoka station to pick up the free rental. The information center is located in the JR station and they are open anyday from 9:00 to 17:45. The maximum days you can rent is 15 days and unlimited MB of download.
The official site tells you to return at an airport, but according to this website, it looks like you can send it back for return from any convenience store in Japan.

I also found a similar service in Tokyo. However, this is only for 3 days and need to go back there to return. You can rent it from Skytree, Azumabashi (Near Asakusa) or Ryogoku (Sumo Stadium).
