How to get free WiFi in Harajuku<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Harajuku has long been synonymous with fashion, a place you simply can\u2019t miss. In almost every corner of the district, you\u2019ll stumble upon designer boutiques, pop-up shops, and main department stores. It simply promises some of the top choices, providing stores for all budgets and tastes. The city office of Harajuku is excited to offer free WiFi service in selected areas and most public parks, such as Meiji Jingu.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll give you a quick overview of how to get online using a free hotspot while you are in the district.<\/p>\n

      Tourist attractions or Public facilities<\/b><\/h2>\n

      If you are visiting Harajuku as a tourist, chances are you don\u2019t have access to an internet connection. But worry not, most popular tourist attractions like the Harajuku Takeshita Street or public fasciitis like the one we are about to introduce to you have it. WITH Harajuku is an exhibition and convention center that has a huge venue space in the center of this pop-culture district. Partnering with NTT Docomo, the minute you step into their premises, you can get access to high-speed internet.\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/withharajuku.jp\/<\/a><\/p>\n

      Most of the free hotspots in Harajuku<\/b><\/h2>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      There are actually numerous public free wifi hotspots if you are traveling around Harajuku Station. Just click on the link below to see all the information, such as the name of the location and distance.\u00a0Google Map<\/a><\/p>\n

      Why bother renting a portable hotspot?<\/b><\/h3>\n

      Whereas hotspots are mostly a device or physical location like wireless access point that provides internet access to mobile devices. On the other hand, Wifi is a network technology behind this that uses radiofrequency waves to connect mobile devices to get access to the internet without using a cable. Generally speaking, public wifi does not pay much attention to its encryption in order to improve its convenience. On the contrary, if you are using a wpa2 encrypted hotspot, you will not be able to connect to the network if you do not have the correct password and login method.<\/p>\n

      Long story short, a portable hotspot creates a private network out of available public wireless networks. By comparison,\u00a0<\/span>a mobile hotspot makes a more secure connection than the public free Wifi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
