WiFI access method in Japan

I often hear the phrase “Japan is a WIFI backward country”.
Is there a small number of free WiFi spots?
I want to check various tourist information on the Internet.

There is also a WiFi service in public facilities in Japan.
However, registration is necessary, application download is necessary, and convenience is not so good.
I will teach you the best way.

WIFI access method in Japan

I will teach you how to connect to WiFi while traveling in Japan.

Rent a WiFi router

Recommended first.
Multiple devices such as WiFi routers, smartphones, laptops and tablets can be connected simultaneously.
By sharing with family and friends, you can use the Internet at a reasonable price.
Many of them have no limit on the amount of communication data, and are perfect for people who want to do research while traveling.
(If a large amount of data is communicated in a short time, the communication speed may be limited.)

Ninja WiFi is easy to rent and return at the airport.
Available for 900 yen per day.

Prepaid SIM card

This is also recommended.
You don’t need to rent a device, and you can use your smartphone as it is.
However, it is a disadvantage that the phone number changes while changing the SIM card.
However, it is recommended for people who do not communicate data enough to use a WiFi router.

If you arrive at Narita Airport, “U mobile” is recomended.

Cafe, hotel

Basically, famous chain stores such as Starbucks and McDonald’s can connect to WiFi.
WiFi is also available at hotels.

However, I do not recommend these WiFi connections.
The reason is as follows.

FREE WiFi

In Japan, there are places that offer FREE WiFi connection services on the Shinkansen and shopping centers.
I will talk negative again.
To use FREE WiFi, you need to register your email address and download a dedicated app.
Please think that there are few things that can be used immediately after entering a password like a general WiFi connection.
Japanese people are serious, so make rules that don’t get tangled.
The conclusion is quite troublesome. I can’t do this every time the facility changes.
