You mean NTT's "osaifu keitai" and e-money like Edy? You take your phone to the nearest convenience store, ask the cashier to "charge" it, and hand him the money you want to put into the mobile phone. After that, the mobile phone records how much e-money you have just deposited, and you can use that to make payments anywhere.
