Avis

Based on reviews and comparissons to other wi-fi options, we decided to use pocket wi-fi. It worked great on our trip around Japan. Would recomend.

Très simple d’utilisation, très petit donc très facile à transporter, connexion impeccable, parfait!

Very useful, but we needed almost every day to connect the power bank

After installing the e-sim at Narita Airport (you need to be online, use the free Narita wi-fi) and configuring my iphone to use it for data access, I had ZERO problems with cellular access. Great coverage, great speed.

Please be sure to only activate the card *once you're in Japan*, don't do it overseas. I burned one esim this way.

The wifi box was already waiting for us when we arrived at the hotel and it worked perfectly during our whole trip through Japan. Returning it was also (made) very easy, so all in all very happy with it.

Very convenient, good connections, easy to us

Easy and efficient!

No connection issues the whole time we were travelling through Japan.

Easy to organise and delivered to your hotel.

I had the unit mailed to the hotel and picking it up was without issues.
Never had any problems with connectivity or battery life.
Dropped it off in a mailbox at the airport when we left Japan.
Definitely rent a unit if you intend to travel in Japan. The ease of use and the low rental fee makes this a no-brainer.

I used this for 2 weeks and shared it with my SO during our trip to Japan. I didn’t have any hiccups nor any throttling of the data amongst our 2 iPhones.

It does come with its own power bank including the charging cord and wall charging block. It’s better to use your own wall charger as the amp from the included block must be low since I noticed the pocket WiFi didn’t charge fully for the first night of having it.

There were a few days when the power bank did die from keeping the pocket WiFi charged so ensure you fully charge the power back each night as it does a great job of keeping your pocket WiFi charged.

I suggest to use this pocket WiFi as using one does prolong your phones overall battery life throughout the day since you’ll be on airplane mode with WiFi on compared to an eSIM.

Based on my experience and research, Japan wireless is cheaper than the other options out there.
