    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.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?

What Chiba places, cuisine, events, experiences enrich your Japan life?

The Chiba Prefecture government's international affairs division invites foreign resident volunteers to share the Chiba spots we love. I can't attend because of work obligations, but I can share your faves by email. What in Chiba lit you up - food, shops, nature, festivals, events, and experiences? Conversely, what didn't work out or confounded you? Photo tax - irises at Noda City's Sogo Park.
