    Hi Helena, Most airport have rental pocket WiFi for about 1000 to 1600 yen per day, but they are a little overpriced. If order online and send the pocket WiFi to your hotel or pick it up at airport's post office it will be a lot cheaper around 500 yen a day. Narita airport: 1000yen~/day http://www.narita-airport.jp/en/guide/service/list/svc_19_1.html For rental shop in airport my recommendation is World Cellular Phone Rental (DoCoMo Business Net), because it is cheap and from a large carrier. http://www.worldke-tai.com/en/rental_service.jsp Order online: 500yen~/day http://en.wifi-rental-store.jp/ http://www.wifi-hire.com/en http://www.rental-store.jp/index.html?ref=narita (Japanese) For online rental service, my recommendation is en.wifi-rental-store.jp Where are you visiting?

    Hi, I realise this is an older post, but for other people wondering... you can get data only sims from BIC Camera. They're targeted at tourists, so you should have an easy enough time purchasing one. http://www.biccamera.com.e.lj.hp.transer.com/bc/c/service/bicsim/index.jsp

    Yes. One option is to rent in the airport. You can also do it online. Pay online, they'll send the pocket wifi to your hotel along with the manual and just drop it in the post on the last day of your rental.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
