Are There Free Wi-Fis on Train Stations? or Recommend Places With Free Wi-Fi?
I’ll be traveling with a big group (family of about 20+) and we might avail a portable wifi device for the group as a whole.
If I plan to do some stuff away from the group, are there any reliable places where they offer free wi-fi so I don’t get lost?
There’s surprisingly many spots in the big cities (cafes, restaurants, malls) and also in the Shinkansen. That said, it can be kind of a hit and miss, especially if you leave the bigger cities.
Pocket wifi is overpriced IMO. eSIM with data-only is super comfortable and pretty cheap per GB. Get them in a tech store like Bic Camera.
However it may not be possible to create a hotspot. Regular data sim cards are also available and cheap. Not sure if they can have the same restrictions, or if those restrictions would apply to your phone.
