Why you should get a pocket WiFi for Japan
Small enough to fit in your palm, a pocket WiFi grants you the ability to access the internet on the go. This capability means you need not worry about missing out on the latest happenings in your social circle or if you have the need to send off one last work-related email before you take a dip into one of Japan’s famous hot springs.
A pocket WiFi provides a series of advantages over its counterparts in providing you with a seamless connection to the web.
1. Minimal hassle
Going for a local SIM card lets you roam the country at Japan’s local rate and while restrictions are loosening up, purchasing most SIM cards in Japan requires a registration process. There is also the additional risk of misplacing that minute-sized card.
Another option would be to tap into wireless networks found around cafes, hotels or other landmarks. While you are able to tap into your lodging’s WiFi at no cost, wireless spots around the city are not so easily accessible. Cafes often require you to purchase a drink before allowing you access, and an unsecured local network is unsafe, to say the least. More importantly, you cannot uproot the whole place and bring it with you; you are stuck in that one spot as you browse the web.
With a pocket WiFi, you do not even need to replace your phone’s SIM card. You just need to boot the pocket WiFi up and all your devices can now connect to it for internet access. Be it your laptop, phone, or tablet, the pocket WiFi acts as a hub allowing you the freedom to use any device as you choose.
2. Unlimited data
If you navigate around using Google Maps, find the need to post Insta-stories to update your legion of followers, and browse Trip101’s fantastic collection of guides, you will find yourself data-starved. This is especially so if you travel in a group, with multiple leeches tethering to a phone. One shudders to think of the phone bills that one will incur if they set it to auto-roaming with multiple users using it for days.
Prevent internet withdrawal symptoms from cropping up by using a pocket WiFi and taking advantage of the unlimited data usage.

Benefits of using Japan Wireless
1. Unlimited data with no speed restriction Japan Wireless gives you the freedom to stream videos without worry as they provide you with unlimited data with no speed restriction. This allows you to browse the web all day at the highest speed knowing that your internet speed will not be forcibly reduced after you have used a certain amount of data.
2. Free power bank The portable WiFi router itself can last up till eight and a half hours of continuous use (and up to 10 hours with the Premium Package) and you can extend this duration by plugging it into the free power bank provided to let it keep chugging along.

3. Last minute order If you are prone to leaving things to the last minute, Japan Wireless offers up an express delivery service for 500 JPY (approximately 4.50 USD).
