Rent an essential item for your travel throughout Japan: Mobile Wi-Fi!
Advantages
- Connect to the internet in locations without internet access, such as at resorts, hotels that charge fees to use their internet access, inside taxis, at restaurants, and in your customer’s office.
- Use the GPS function in your US iPhone or iPad to navigate.
- Rent the Mobile Wi-Fi unit for a flat daily rate and use the internet as much as you want.
- If you have Skype installed on your device, you can make international calls for free.
- Download speed is 40 Mbps, and upload speed is 10 Mbps (please ask about data speeds as these vary between device types) roughly on par with basic cable modems and DSL speeds. As a gauge for how fast this is, you can watch hi-res YouTube videos with occasional pauses to catch up on the feed.

Use your laptop at a café
You can see the Mobile Wi-Fi unit right next to the laptop in this photo, but you can leave the Mobile Wi-Fi unit much farther away for the same results. Connect 5 or 6 devices simultaneously to one Mobile Wi-Fi-device. Bring along your familiar laptop and e-mail as usual. |
 |
|
Connect your USB-less iPad wirelessly to the internet
Connect to the internet using your own US iPad by using the Mobile Wi-Fi. Use your iPad as a navigation tool. Also, because most JR trains and stations charge membership fees to use their internet connections, renting a Mobile Wi-Fi device is more economical for those who stay in Japan only 1 to 2 weeks. |
