Have you ever heard that it’s almost impossible to get online in Japan only with free wireless(wifi) hotspots? Japan, as one of the most developed countries in the world, has always been surprising the world by its outstanding achievements in technologies. However, stores and restaurants in Japan are not really generous about providing free wifi zones to their customers and sadly it’s true.

If you are a smartphone user(I guess most of you are ,though.), you will find yourself get lost without connecting to the internet, especially when you are not in familiar situation. Imagine that you cannot search how to get to hotel because you are not connected to the internet. You cannot find any free wifi hotspots around you. Everything is written in Japanese letters you have never seen in your life except for some movies and animations. What would you do?
Just imagining makes us break out in a cold sweat. So what we need to prevent us from this “thrilling” experience is renting a pocket wifi in advance. Pocket wifi is widely used in Japan, not only for tourists but also for Japanese people. Some people rent a pocket wifi like a month or two for their personal use and renew it. In this case, they will not have to go through difficult installation of wifi router at their homes and get the advantages of using wifi all the time.
wifi rental japan recommends that you borrow a pocket wifi and stay connected all the time in Japan. If you search ‘wifi rental japan’ or ‘pocket wifi japan’, you will see a lot of companies operating wifi rental services in Japan. However, the thing is that you MUST compare the prices. Some famous companies require you to pay JPY 900 per day and sometimes the usage of data is limited to few gigabytes.
(1) There is no additional charge for shipment.
You will find out a lot of websites saying JPY400-500 per day. In this case, however, you will soon know the fact that either data is limited to few gigabytes or they charge around JPY1,000 for shipment. wifi rental japan doesn’t require shipping fees to customers.
You can pick up the router at airport you have selected or you can come to our store, just located in the middle of Shinjuku, to pick up. Returning is much easier. Just covering the router and its accessories together with pouch and envelope we sent to you, and drop it in any mailbox in Japan! You know what? Airports also have mailbox so you can enjoy high speed and unlimited data until the last moment you stay in Japan.
(2) You can connect up to 14 devices.
If your device has wifi function, anyone can use it. Smartphones, laptops, ipads… whatever you have. If you are not traveling alone, it will be much more saving to rent a pocket wifi because you can share one device with your families and friends. This is the biggest advantage of renting a pocket wifi, since only one person will have access to internet if you choose roaming on your phone or buying sim card.
*Connecting up to 4~5 devices is recommended to guarantee high-speed internet connection.
(3) Enjoy unlimited data with JPY600/day.
As I already mentioned above, our cost includes both shipping fees for pickup and dropoff. To say it again, there will be no additional charge for airport pickup and mailbox dropoff! If you search for buying sim cards in Japan, you will find out it usually costs more than JPY 3000~4000 for 3 GB. Roaming on your phone will cost a lot more than buying sim cards. However, wifi rental japan provides unlimited data with the price of JPY 600/1 day.
*If you wish to have insurance, additional fee of JPY 500 will be applied.
*Advance mode only
*If you use more than 10GB within 3 days, speed limit will be applied to avoid congestion.
(4) Are you looking for a high speed pocket wifi? Here is an answer.
wifi rental japan provides pocket wifi with the speed of 187.5Mbps for download and 37.5Mbps for upload at optimal condition. There will be no inconvenience with this speed when you search for things or try to upload something on your personal blogs or SNS.
*If you use more than 10GB within 72 hours, speed limitation will be applied.
