Hi Everyone,
We are going to Japan in 2019. We are flying into Osaka and flying out of Tokyo and we are traveling to other places besides these two main hubs so we need to be assured of internet access outside these areas.
I've had conflicting advice about internet access in Japan from 'there's heaps of free wifi everywhere you go' to 'Free wifi is not easily available in areas outside of the main part of Tokyo'.
We've also been advised to be careful who we get a wifi device from because some companies require the device to be returned to where they were picked up and this is not necessarily clear at the time you pick up the device especially if there is an issue understanding the language (we will only know basic things).
We are looking at getting the portable wifi device over the sim cards as I've not heard a bad thing about them and everyone I speak to highly recommends them. I have found a company where I can order the device online and pick up at Osaka airport. Then as we leave Tokyo, we can put the device into a pre-paid postage bag and drop off at a post office. This sounds so convenient but first I wanted to check if anyone else has heard of or used this company.
