Yeah, if you want your own cell phone, you need an Alien Registration Card, a bank account and a hanko (name stamp).

Just buy a pre-paid phone at 7-11 and you are good to go. If you want a land-line, buy the bond second-hand. Don't pay NTT 72 000 yen for it, you should be able to get one for less than 30 000.

If you really move (not a trip), find a place to live and do alien registration first.
