Hi there I visited Japan about 3 years ago and was very satisfied with this company.

Mobile Wifi | Best Pocket Wifi in Japan | Mobal

When I changed the sim card, naturally, I was unable to use my own phone number, but everything else worked well, I could use FaceTime etc.

Being online with my phone in Japan, especially travelling around Tokyo was extremely useful. It would have been a lot more difficult without it. I can also recommend the the free Microsoft translator app.

Japan is a wonderful country, as are the people, I hope you enjoy your visit.
