Similarly, if you are a long-term resident and leave Japan and want to

Definitely anedoctal, but that was not my experience. I left Japan one time back in 2010 (I got better :-P), and turned in my softbank phone at Narita, "right before I left".  I don't remember whether I contacted them in advance or not, but it is (was) definitely doable.

Cheers,
