Ordered prior to trip with easy step by step guide for setting up on my phone!
This was an amazing and easy experience. Never had issues activating or using it. Speed was always fast and reliable. I went to Kyoto and never dropped the connection in the Shinkansen. cheers
I was very satisfied with having reliable internet in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto! I will say it’s on the pricier side compared to other sites that claimed to have unlimited internet. As a first timer in Japan I wanted to be sure I had reliable internet at all times to utilize Google Maps ,social media and messaging apps and it worked flawlessly! I don’t mind paying a premium to be guaranteed internet’ at all times. Even when I stayed at hotel’s some of the WiFi was very choppy and I would have to go back to using my internet which would upload so much faster! Overall I would highly recommend using Japan wireless for your trip, if you’re prioritizing reliability. If you’re on a budget maybe look elsewhere? But personally now that I have used them, I will always use Japan wireless for connectivity. This is also based on using it on an iPhone 17 pro max.
I went with a 4G lite sim, 30GB for 30 days. I found it easy to buy online from home, and it worked really well. However because all of my accommodation had wifi, I would go with a lower amount of GB in the future. Mine was a data only sim, and so I couldn't make calls or text, but just used a wifi app, so all worked well. My husband got a Japanese sim, with a number, which was useful in a couple of places when they needed a phone number. We travelled quite widely, Tokyo and headed south, and had no problems. One thing I missed was the ability to see how much data I had left, but once I enabled my phone to keep track (in my settings) that worked well.
We thoroughly enjoyed our ride & the Wifi connection board shinkansen. It was smooth & effortless.
