You may be wondering whether you need to rent Wi-Fi when you travel abroad. In some countries, public Wi-Fi is widely available and you may not need to rent it, but the penetration rate of public Wi-Fi in Japan is very low compared to the rest of the world.

Although hotels are relatively well-equipped with Wi-Fi, we recommend renting Wi-Fi or a SIM for a comfortable trip in Japan.
