Wi-Fi hotspots in Japan are still rare and most of them require a prior registration in Japanese. If you want to use your own smartphone data, beware of international roaming fees which can be more than expensive if not carefully monitored.
That is why many travelers choose to rent a Pocket Wi-Fi to enjoy an unlimited Internet connection everywhere in Japan. The Pocket Wi-Fi is a small electronic device to use as a router for an easy access to the Internet anywhere during travel.
It allows to browse and check as much as you need:
- Maps and GPS on your mobile phone;
- Train schedules and weather forecast in real time;
- E-mail and messaging apps (Skype, WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.);
- Social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.);
- YouTube and online music streaming services;
- And of course websites (news, bank, Kanpai, Wikipedia, blogs, etc.)
How Does It Work
4G LTE Connection, very high-speed Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac (speed up to: 187Mbps download / 37Mbps upload).
High density network with Softbank, available everywhere in Japan, with 99% of the Japanese population covered.

The device's reduced size (10,4 x 6 x 1,8 cm / 4 x 2,4 x 0.4 inches) and small weight (only 150g) allows to easily slip it in a pocket.
It is easy to use: just enter the provided Wi-Fi password to make the most of the Pocket Wi-Fi during your travel. We are of course available to help you in English by e-mail or phone.
You can connect up to 5 devices at the same time on the same Pocket Wi-Fi: smartphones, tablets, laptops (PC or Mac), cameras, game consoles, etc.
The battery's autonomy is about 8 hours in use and the device's range is about 20 meters.
Choose to pick up the Pocket Wi-Fi at the airport in Tokyo or Osaka, or have it delivered directly to your hotel in Japan.
Use the provided prepaid envelope to return the Pocket Wi-Fi before leaving Japan.
