Renting a Pocket Wifi in Japan is the best way to access high-speed Internet during your visit.
All plans offer UNLIMITED DATA USAGE, however, the network speed will drop after high-speed data allotment is used.
You may encounter weak or temporarily dropped service in cars, underground, in tunnels, between tall buildings, at high elevations, and in mountainous regions.
The advertised battery life is an estimate. Actual battery life will vary based on the usage.
For heavy data users, we recommend our WiFi plan. Once again, an easy long-term option with no contract and no commitments. Use WiFi at home or on the go! Save the costly installation fees and avoid long contracts that come with home WiFi or renting a Pocket WiFI yourself. Choose a monthly plan with CDJapan Rental, and cancel at any time. And of course, the longer you rent, the greater discount you’ll receive!
After your initial order, purchase one-month of use at a time, or for even greater savings, pay ahead and don’t worry about payments for 6 months or a year!.
Here's an example of a 5 month plan. Request monthly payments, and the end of each month, you will receive a reminder emailing asking you to purchase service for the following month. If you want to cancel, simply return the item the last day of your current rental.

So many conveniences have appeared that make travelling in Japan easier than ever. HOWEVER, if there is one thing that tourists still struggle with, it's a lack of free public WiFi.
Because cyber security is something that is very important in Japan, there are hurdles for tourists to get connected without some sort of verification. Accessing free WiFi often means needing a Japanese phone number or access to e-mail to register for free Internet service. (But how you gonna get to your e-mail when you don't have Internet to start?!)Whether this for better or worse (some people do appreciate the security, not having personal information stolen is a plus) this is the state of things currently, so it's wise to get a portable WiFi device, known as pocket WiFi, in preparation for your journey!
If you come from a country where using Pocket WiFi isn’t the norm, first it’s important to get an idea of just what Pocket WiFi is. Pocket WiFi is basically a portable Internet router. Pocket WiFi’s have an internal SIM card, and rely on the network service of telecom carriers on the 3G or 4G/LTE networds. Using a Pocket WiFi works just as your home Internet does. Devices have an SSID and password/key that are necessary for accessing the connection. Pocket WiFi gets its name based on its size, which fits comfortably in a pocket.
So for the travelers and short term visitors to Japan, many people question whether or not they should go for a Pocket WiFi or a disposable SIM Card. (It’s probably not worth it to even think about paying roaming charges for your home provider, it’ll be expensive, and in Japan, the chances that the compatibility of the Network Bands will give you good service is pretty low…)
There are some free options, such as the WiFi found in cafes, or in major JR Stations or the Tokyo Metro subway stations, but these are not totally reliable
So lets talk about the specific benefits of using Pocket WiFi !
These are the most popular Pocket WiFi service providers in Japan.
Pocket wi-fi is a palm-size portable device that functions as a personal WiFi hotspot. All wi-fi enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops are compatible.
Orders with CDJapan Rental include a charging cable and AC adapter. Estimated battery life of each device is 5 to 10 hours depending on model and usage. For all day use, we recommend renting a portable charger. (Rent Portable Charger together!)
Getting online is easy!
