[TroubleT]

Would you please recommend a company torent a pocket WiFi in Japan that is hassle free for pick up and return?

Are you arriving into Japan by air or by sea (and, leaving also ...)

 

What is your planned usage, on land while sightseeing - and/or in combo with a cruise ... the MiFi router will be of limited use (if any) while at sea since that will be accessing satellite data instead, and, much more expensive.

 

Here's a few recent threads/discussions & post-visit update to get you started on the research, grab a cup of coffee or tea to start browsing

Arriving by air (so I can pick it up at the airport) but leaving by sea (I need a drop off location close to my hotel).

Depending on your choice of airline, check to see if they have any special promotion and/or discounts, etc. (i.e. when we flew Korean Air into ICN, discount given on our advanced reservation upon presentation of our BP at the kiosk/counter + earned FF mileage) for using their alliance/preferred cellular service providers.

 

Reserved it for airport pickup or they can deliver to the hotel & pickup upon checking in. They typically provide a free option to drop off the package in a postage paid mailer, seal it & drop off at a mailbox/post office nearby, or the hotel staff can do that.

Thank you all! :):):)
