Very simple service. Order ahead of time, pick up the mini cell service wifi router at airport counter when arriving, make the wifi connection to it, charge as needed (lasts at least as long as the smart phone), and when leaving, drop off everything in the provided return mailer at the airport Japan Postal Service collection box before going through the security check. Didn't encounter any cell phone network service issues.

Very good! Excellent service and very useful.

Worked flawlessly basically everywhere I went. Had some spotty connection when going into basements/tunnels, but that was to be expected. Connection speed was excellent.

I could not have more pleased with the convenience of using the packet WiFi for a month. The price was extremely reasonable and delivery of the WiFi was as advertised.

Great wifi and great service ;no problem using this product. I am extremely satisfied with the service and quality and I will continue to use this service.

Very fast and super easy

We arrived in Tokyo late at night, and our WiFi was waiting for us at our hotel. It was simple to boot up and a great comfort to have instant contact with maps and local searches. We were never without fast WiFi for the 16 days of our trip. Thanks very much.

Used Japan Wireless for 16 days on trains, underground, in the cities/towns and never had an issue. The pocket WiFi was even a better signal than a hotel with a in-room WiFi. Highly recommend and will use again when we return to Japan.

Awesome!! Wouldn’t go without it

As an American visiting Japan, Verizon's TravelPass daily rate is $10/day for Japan and would have cost $140 for our 2 week trip. This solution from Japan Wireless was 12,560 yen, which at the time was $80.32. Great little pocket router. Always got a good signal. Liked the self-addressed prepaid envelope that came with it; just dropped it in a Japan Post box on the way to the airport. Definitely needed the battery pack that came with the router as the router's battery went to zero about 3-5 pm. My only complaint was that the router's screen was microscopic to read but that was a minor irritant compared to the savings. (I read about this solution in "Fodor's Essential Japan" travel guide.)
