What a pocket WiFi really costs in Japan, how the main rental companies differ, and the five things to check before you book. We are one of those companies, so we have put our own numbers in the same table and tried to be fair to everyone else.
In 2026 an unlimited pocket WiFi from an online rental company costs roughly 400–1,000 JPY per day for a one-week trip, plus 0–1,500 JPY for delivery or return. Monthly rentals fall to about 250–450 JPY per day. Airport counters and shops in town are dearer, and “from” prices in adverts usually apply to capped plans or long rentals.
| Where you rent | Typical daily price | Typical 30-day price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online, delivered in Japan | 400–1,000 JPY | 7,000–15,000 JPY | Cheapest and most choice. Delivery to hotel/airport; check the return method. |
| Airport counters | 700–1,400 JPY | Rarely offered | Convenient but queues on arrival; often capped daily data. |
| Shops near big stations | 600–1,200 JPY | 10,000–15,000 JPY | Same-day pick-up if the shop is near your hotel. |
| Booked from your home country | 300–1,500 JPY | — | Global roaming routers; often capped at 1–3 GB/day and slower. |
All of the companies below are established and will get you online. The differences are in data caps, where you collect and return the device, and how fast they can deliver. Prices are approximate list prices for a one-week unlimited rental as of October 2026; every company runs promotions, so check the current page.

If you are travelling alone with an unlocked, eSIM-capable phone and use a normal amount of data, a Japan eSIM from 2,480 JPY is cheaper and there is nothing to carry or return. Pocket WiFi wins when two or more people share, when you bring a laptop, when your phone is locked, or when you need truly unlimited data. The full comparison is on our Pocket WiFi vs eSIM page. For stays of a month or more in one apartment, a plug-in home router is better value than either.
