Things to Consider When Renting WiFi in Japan

Check Coverage Area

Make sure the WiFi coverage is available in the areas you plan to stay in Japan.
Check particularly in rural or mountainous regions where coverage may be limited.
It’s essential to have a reliable connection wherever you go to fully enjoy your trip and stay connected.

When renting WiFi with a 5G connection in Japan, the urban areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka are within the area and have a wide area of connection, but other areas are likely to have a 4G connection.
Also, please note that 5G connection may be difficult to get inside buildings and underground.

Data Speed and Limits

Pay attention to the data speed and any data limits associated with your rental WiFi. If you require high data usage, ensure the speed and limits are suitable for your needs. Some plans may offer high-speed data with no limits, while others may have data caps that, if exceeded, could result in slower speeds.

Device Compatibility

Confirm that your devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, are compatible with the rental WiFi service you choose. Different services may have specific requirements or compatible devices, so double-check to avoid any connectivity issues during your stay.

Security

Ensure that the rental WiFi connection is secure. Look for services that use security protocols like WPA2 or WPA3, and be sure to safeguard any necessary passwords. Secure connections protect your data and personal information from potential threats or unauthorized access.

Check Reviews and Ratings

Research reviews and ratings of the chosen WiFi rental service to learn about the experiences of other users. This can help gauge reliability and support quality. Positive reviews and high ratings often indicate a reputable and dependable service.

Rental Period and Fees

Understand the rental period and pricing structure to select a plan that fits your intended stay, whether it’s a short-term or long-term visit. Consider any additional fees or charges, such as return shipping costs, when comparing different plans.

Reservations and Preparations

Make reservations for your WiFi rental and complete any necessary preparations in advance to ensure a smooth pickup process upon arrival. Booking ahead of time can save you from potential availability issues during peak travel seasons.
