Pocket wifi is a great choice for staying connected while travelling around Japan. Often with faster internet speeds than travel sim cards and the ability to connect multiple devices, mobile wifi routers are a clever choice. In this video we show you how to rent a portable wifi router in Japan, as well as a few of the best options in terms of value, data usage and length of stay.

These short videos are soo good, would be Awsome if you could do some vids for people traveling with kids etc
What if we dont return the pocket wifi?
Hope the gentleman in the video was well rewarded for his time
Thanks for making the great video! I am glad you listened to my request. This is very helpful!
Thank you for the information! But what about digital sim cards? How do they compare?
Is it must to pre order online?, can’t i just go to desk in Narita airport?
This is really helpful. I have Google Fi and am unsure whether that will cover it. I'll probably get a Pocket Wifi just in case.
You guys do great work thank you
It's been like four years since I was in Japan, but back then at least I thought that iVideo offered pretty good prices on Wifi rentals.
Hi i'm just curious how come you never mentioned iVideo as an option for mobile Wifi rental, my wife and I used their service back in 2019 and were very happy with the service never had any issues with all the videos and pictures we were sending to all our friends and I was even able to do things like watch Netflix (with headphones) while on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hiroshima, so we have booked another rental with them for when we go back to Japan in May this year.
They also give options to collect and return at the airport or even to collect from their store in Asakusa in Tokyo and their prices are really good I've paid $45 for unlimited data for a full month which after talking to their sales team worked out cheaper doing it that way than their daily hire costs since we are going for 23 days.
AAAAAAAAARGHHH I am going to Japan next week on Tuesday and booked everything just an hour ago. Your videos really REALLY helped me with about everything <3
