Where to rent pocket WiFi from Ninja WiFi in Tokyo
After applying for Ninja WiFi’s pocket WiFi in Tokyo on the same day, you can only pick it up at our office in Shinjuku.
It is located less than a minute’s walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station. There are other ways to pick up your order, but the Shinjuku office is the only place where you can pick up your order on the same day.
Please refer to the article below for more information about Ninja WiFi’s Shinjuku office.
How to receive Ninja WiFi’s pocket WiFi outside of Shinjuku office

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.
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.

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.

Summary
Impressions after actually using Softbank K4
Impressions from Japanese people after using it
Advantages of using
- I actually went to the Shinjuku office to pick up the pocket WiFi. It was helpful to be able to receive it immediately after same-day application. I liked the fact that I was able to learn about anything I didn’t understand right away.
- I received it by courier. There is a fee for this service, but I was impressed that I could have it done at the place and time I wanted to pick it up.
