IVIDEO POCKET WIFI JAPAN FREE

The Tokyo Subway Navigation for Tourists App (catchy title) has a handy list of stations with free wifi while the Japan Connected App will log you in without having to fill in the portal pages. Select either the ‘Metro_Free_Wi-Fi’ or the ‘Toei_Subway_Free_Wi-Fi’ SSIDs and open your web browser to complete free sign in. The Tokyo Metro Free Wifi scheme supplies wifi to over 200 of the stations in the city. Alternatively, check out our wifi-friendly cafes elsewhere in Tokyo – you might have to buy a few more coffees to justify your stay, but it’s a nicer afternoon for sure. While you previously needed to sign up for wifi in advance, these days you just connect and agree to their requirements on the portal page – something you’ll have to repeat on an hourly basis. No matter what you think of the coffee, they are by far your best bet for a reliable connection and have over 200 stores in the city limits. Coffee and Cafesįor an easy connection, Starbucks is your friend.

There is a focus on transport hubs and popular neighbourhoods having their own networks. Since phone contracts here come with unlimited data, it isn’t such an issue for locals, so free wifi specifically for tourists in Tokyo is a big investment for the city.

While there may not be as much as you’re used to, there is still some free wifi in Tokyo to be had, you just have to know where to stand. Visiting Japan and need reliable wifi? Ninja Wifi is offering 30% off their pocket wifi routers to Tokyo Cheapo readers.
