To international travellers who need access to the internet free wireless hotspots are an increasingly viable alternative to
rental phones and prepaid SIM cards. In Japan, WiFi hotspots can be found around
- airports
- train stations (many shinkansen stations and in Tokyo around Yamanote Line)
- hotels
- other outlets (restaurants, coffee shops, fast food restaurants, convenience stores, etc)
but are usually out of the question if you require a more reliable internet connection or internet access for multiple devices.
In such cases, pocket WiFi devices might be the best solution for international visitors.
