Looking for a portable device to do WiFi in Tokyo
 

Hi to all travel expert

Looking for a place locally to rent a portable device to do Wifi in Tokyo for my forth coming trip in Mid Feb 2015.

Any idea of what I am talking about.

Please kindly advise.

Many places you can rent from in Japan, here for example.

I have used this company twice now with great success.

Rental Mobile Wifi Mifi Pocket Wifi in Japan, Portable Wifi Mifi router access point:: Global Advanced Communications

Same here. Don't rely on hotspots, they are VERY unreliable in Japan. Even the subscription based ones.

I had a subscription to a wifi hotspot service (it was $4 a month for locals, would have been $30 a month or something like that for visitors). I thought it would be fine, since there are hotspots everywhere (convenience stores, fast food restaurants, etc). But the actual connection service is very unreliable. You have to pretty much be sitting right beside an antenna to get it to connect. You can't just stand outside random hotspot locations hoping for decent internet.

Also used the same place Eff1 used twice no issues in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto regions.

Telecom Square - Home

I used them for my Osaka trip. You book the device online in advance. Pickup the device from their counter at the airport.
