Just came back from Tokyo yesterday. I tried Nija pocket wifi because docomo was reserved out at Haneda airport. Ninja wifi was useless, often roaming even in Tokyo (we stayed in Minato-ku) even though we rented unlimited 10g/day. We needed for direction use since most of places we've been to had strong free wifi. The device we rented did not last full day even though we charged to full every day. I hope this helps others to know. By the way, many of your youtube info were very useful. Thank you. Japan was amazing! We miss it already and we are going back next year...can't wait!

I've just returned from 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima and, after your recommendations, we rented pocket wifi from Japan Wireless. And it was excellent! Pick-up at Narita was so easy and return by mail also as there are mailboxes at Narita in departures next to the check-in desks. Coverage was super, too, and speeds were perfect for our use. Many Many thanks for your recommendations, which were so useful.

Our family has been using Japan Wireless in our Japan leisure trips. We are generally satisfied with their devices (pocket wifi and pocket translator). We used the Japan Wireless pocket wifi devices in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe, and Fukuoka. We never had issues.
-
Finally an honest review! After spending the evening doing research on the topic you answered my questions. Ninja Wifi with the 10 gb package seems to be the best for us. Thanks and I'll make sure to use your code!
-
Thinking of doing Ninja! Thanks for the super helpful video!
-
Watched most of your Japan videos, it has been really informative for me as this is our first time to Japan. I've taken down all your tips. Thanks for all your effort, insight and detailed comparison, you made it easier for us. Also, for the discount coupons, much appreciated.

nice, now I know what to chose on my incoming trip š

I picked up two Sakura Mobile devices since one of our party will go off on separate ventures. Maybe I should've rented two different companies but really didn't want to get into the business of comparing. Great video and love the spreadsheet info.

Thank you. That was very helpful š

Thanks for the video, we used Japan Wireless and it has been seamless so far!

Thanks, this is very helpful. Your videos demystified this topic for me. Iām going to Japan for the first time later this year.
-
Thank you! So helpful!
-
Fantastic comparison. Thank you! I'll go with Ninja, as the issues with the other providers are completely unacceptable.
-
Excellent, informative video. Probably one of the best I've seen on YT.

Used Japan Wireless, also using your discount code (Thanks !). It worked fantastic ! Set up a reservation ahead of time. Picked it up upon arrival at Haneda. 6 cities, 2 weeks, tons of trains all over Japan ... worked great. No issues. Used to navigate, all over. The spare battery pack was a bonus that most other pocket wifi companies di not offer, but we did not need it much. A tip to other families ... if you have teenagers, put them in charge of carrying it and MAKING SURE it get's charged EVERY night --- they WILL get it done, once they realize THEIR internet depends on that pocket wifi ! Lol. When leaving Japan, we slipped the Return mailing package into a Japan Post mailbox, BEFORE going through Security. 2 days later, we got a nice email from them, thanking us, and letting us know they received our unit back. Use them, it works great. About $76 for 16 days. Thanks again for your helpful videos !
