Hello,
I just came to Tokyo under a week ago (have been in quarantine until now, due to a passenger on the plane having covid, yay) – and I really need a phone to make calls, but also to find my way around as I have no sense of direction.
I tried to google it but the few foreigner friendly site I found only sold the Sim card, not the phone?
Any advise on how I can go about this?

You could always head to your nearest Bic Camera or Yodobashi; they have loads of phones.
buy one online maybe try geo they have many used phones
I went into my local Softbank to sign up for a mobile plan, they even had someone who could speak English. I’m sure they would happily sell you a phone at the same time.
Go to the phone store?
When you go to get a phone, I think its best to get one made from a foreign country because phones made in Japan have annoying clicking sounds when you try to take a picture (this was implemented as law for creeps who try to take upskirt photos)
That’s all I know; apologies!
You can look for Y-mobile or docomo or AU shops to buy both a SIM card and a phone
