3. Ambiguity

If you want to confirm fast and reliable connections, Free WiFi spots are not the best.
There are 3 major reasons that are closely linked to each other.
 

  • Free WiFi Spots are concentrated in urban areas surrounding major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
  • Such cities have countless number of people who need internet.
  • Free WiFi Spots have tend to be NOT connected when they are used by many people at the same time.

 

My recommended solution is quite simple, and some already have suggested.
 
It is . . . just renting a pocket WiFi or buying a prepaid SIM card.
 
At this point, they are one of the best solutions to get secure, reliable, and private connections
far more than ones with Free WiFi service. Don’t waste your rare time in travel in Japan.
 
However, there are very many providers in Japan, and they provide seemingly the same service . . .
 
And. . . this is my turn at last.
 
If you provide your travel situation, I can suggest one of them to best suit with your travel.
