Hello,
The number of foreign tourists to Japan exceeded 10 million visitors in
2013.
As Tokyo was selected to host the 2020 Olympics, we expect the
number of visitors to rise even more as Tokyo will be preparing to
create a tourist-friendly environment.
However, according to a survey conducted by the Japan Tourism Agency,
the internet connection topped the ranking in what they were
dissatisfied about Japan.

In Japan, LTE network is available throughout the country, allowing
high-speed
internet connection even in the subway or bus.
We are called the country with the fastest internet connection.
However you can not use the service unless you have a contract with a
Japanese carrier,
Although we do offer WIFI which allows internet connection, but
it will require registration, or ask to download a dedicated app,
make you go through troubling procedures, or limit the connection to 30
minutes, which are all too inconvenient for users.
As a result, most tourists will use WIFI provided by their hotel, or
go online at internet cafes.
As a measure to resolve such dissatisfactions, we see SIM cards and WIFI
routers sold or offered as a rental product at the airport. If you have
an SIM card or a WIFI router, you will be able to connect to the
internet almost anywhere in Japan.
More and more tourists are starting to use this service as you will
rarely find any such rental services once you are away from the airport.
However, to us Japanese, the rental costs are surprisingly expensive at
the airport.
CDJapan started a service offering SIM cards and mobile WIFI which have
the same data communication quality compared to our competitors, but
offers a much more reasonable price.
If you make a reservation before coming to Japan, we will drop the
products at your hotel or hand it to you at the airport post office
We hope to serve you if you will be visiting Japan.
