How to Get WiFi in Japan

By Skywing Knights // June 3, 2025

Hello all!

Have you ever struggled with the bane that is Free WiFi in Japan? And even when it is free, it’s often unreliable and limited. What’s worse, if you only have it at your hotel, it can make traveling around Japan difficult and frustrating. That’s why I’m so incredibly excited to announce the launch of a partnership between Skywing Knights and NINJA WiFi to bring you, my wonderful readers, a 10% discount opportunity for Pocket WiFi or an eSim card during your travels in Japan!

Thanks to this partnership, if you use my links and codes below, you will be able to get 10% off your Pocket WiFi or eSim card through NINJA WiFi! This will give you reliable coverage through SoftBank’s local Japanese network, the ability to pick up your order at the largest number of airports in the industry, and 365-day customer support to ensure peace of mind during your trip!

What is Pocket WiFi?

Pocket WiFi is the most affordable way to maintain internet access while overseas in Japan. Rather than reaching out to my phone service provider, I always get Pocket WiFi‘s, which are much cheaper and BETTER when it comes to service. They’re lightweight too and easily fit into my purse or bag. I can’t recommend them enough! Just keep your phone on airplane mode, hook up to your Pocket WiFi, and you’re golden! They’re also super easy to either pick up from the airport or at your hotel/AirBnB! The convenience factor is unreal.

Alternatively, you can also swap out your eSim card to get internet while in Japan if your phone contains a slot for one. Both options are available through NINJA WiFi!
