Do I need to pre-order Pocket WiFi in Japan?

Basically, the reservation itself can be done online, so it can be done worldwide. Reservations can also be made in Japan, but it is not easy to pick up the equipment on the same day, so it is better to make a reservation in advance and then go to Japan.

However, you cannot receive WiFi equipment outside of Japan, so you will need to use an airport counter or delivery service in Japan. It is important to understand that you will receive the device upon arrival in Japan.

Even if you forget to make a reservation in advance, Ninja WiFi offers same-day pickup only at the Shinjuku counter.

How many types of terminals are available?

Ninja WiFi offers a choice of three handsets: SoftBank K4, SoftBank T6, and SoftBank T7. I rented “SoftBank K4” this time, and I will introduce the specifications of SoftBank K4.

Impressions of renting “Softbank K4” with Ninja WiFi

This time I rented a SoftBank K4 from Ninja WiFi. Let’s summarize the services of Ninja WiFi. For those who have concerns before applying, this content will help dispel those concerns.

SoftBank K4 Review

We never used the mobile battery we had available, and the battery in the unit was very good and lasted all day despite constant use. We only connected it to one phone, which may have extended the battery life.

The internet speed and connection was also incredible. We were able to connect to all websites and apps without any delays and easily view high resolution streams. Video and video calls were also smooth. The connection was uninterrupted, both in the metro and in the countryside.
