Today there are still few free Wi-Fi spots available in Japan than in other countries. According to JTA research in 2012, most of the answers to the question "what was the worst problem in Japan when visiting Japan?" were the complain about too few free Wi-Fi spots, followed by the answer that it was hard to communicate with Japanese people in English.
You would want to contact your family, friends or a colleague at work immediately during your stay in Japan. You might need to connect to the Internet in many situations such as transfer of train, searching sight-seeing area, and a place for meeting ,etc. Looking for free Wi-Fi spots becomes sometimes waste of time if the spot is not working properly. It is still hard for foreign tourists to find free Wi-Fi spots and connect the internet not only due to language but also due to too few spots.

Once you get an internet connection you don't even worry about which train you should take or how to get where you want to go.

Rental pocket Wi-Fi would be more valuable than international roaming service, internet cafe or other internet connection services. Some of a rental pocket Wi-Fi are unlimited internet access with high speed at flat rate. So there's nothing to worry about as long as you use it normally (Downloading/uploading too big data might cause speed limitation.) English customer support is available and easy pick up and off service at many airports. We guarantee that rental pocket Wi-Fi makes your stay in Japan more comfortable! SUMO Wi-Fi handles Global Wi-Fi and Telecom Square corporation which have big names in this industry!!
