【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Should be on your packing list to Japan....

Reviewed by: opm

Good signal throughout Tokyo except when you are in subway stations. Mailed to hotel and ready for use right after checked in. Save you lot of times finding direction if you are not fluent in Japanese. My party had 2 iphones signed into the mobile wifi. The power lasted around 6-8 hrs depending on usage. Easy return, just drop off at Haneda International Terminal on the 2nd Floor. Will definitely rent again if going to Japan in the near future.

Smartphone 3GB or 5GB SIM Card with Airport, Hotel or Pre-Departure Delivery

Kansai SIM card experience

Reviewed by: 卡酪梨

While going to the Kansai region, I set the SIM card up after the plane took off. The first part is described in Japanese and has one extra step than the SIM cards from Taiwan. But I still managed to get it to work. (phew)

The SIM card worked smoothly, except underground on the subway. I saw Japanese people can use the internet while my friends and the SIM card could not be used. As for apps, photos on instagram load significantly slower than the SIM cards from Taiwan that my friends were using. Maybe because Kansai uses LTE more than 3G or 4G, but I am not sure. Google map and LINE work fine, but did not open facebook since I was unsure of the speed.

I had a lot of data left after using google maps along with Pokemon Go when I had time. It is enough to use just to surf websites and is a good option to use during low traffic.

Overall, using this SIM card was a good experience. Writing a review and getting a rebate is great!

Tokyo to/from Yokohama Port Shuttle for Diamond Princess Cruise

Awesome Way to Get to Tokyo From Yokohama!

Reviewed by: Hawai'i Boy

Booked Veltra for transportation to our Shinjuku hotel after our Japan cruise and couldn't be more pleased with the service! Mr. Uchida was courteous and very professional; we shared the beautiful new van with a family of three and we were at our hotel's doorstep in about 40 minutes. Will look to book through Veltra on our next trip to Japan!

Tokyo to/from Yokohama Port Shuttle for Diamond Princess Cruise

Great Transfer Service Yokohama Pier to Central Tokyo Hotel

Reviewed by: Northville Traveller

Very cost effective way to get from Yokohama Pier to downtown Tokyo. We had a shared ride van with 3 other couples. We were greeted by signs as soon as we exited the customs area. After we were all assembled we loaded the van and were on our way. So much easier than dragging our suitcase, etc through crowded train stations and trains. Driver spoke no English but had info sheets for each drop off. He was most courteous. For us it was money well spent. Thank You!

Highly recommended. The pocket WiFi was delivered to our hotel in Shinjuku the day we arrived. It works great, very fast. Helps us go on Google map to navigate through all the streets of Tokyo and use Yelp to pick restaurants. It does drain the phone battery though, but we used it for 4 hours straight. Over all this is an extremely helpful device to have, especially for tourists. Very affordable. We got it for 7 days

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Tokyo sky bus

Reviewed by: Diana

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

The unit was available for us at our first hotel. Instructions are very clear. I am of the opinion that it has saved us having to get cell service here. We were able to check train schedules and use google maps when we were unsure of our location. The wifi was dependable in all areas of Japan.

Must Do!

Reviewed by: Hoai My Winder

When coming in to any new place to visit, we look for bus tours such as this. The tour was informative and gave us an idea of places we would want to return to and explore fully. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried about using a service such as Veltra but I had no problems whatsoever. We plan on doing the bus tour again when friends visit and using Veltra. Highly recommend!

【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Service was good, but the WiFi dies so quickly...

Reviewed by: C.S.

My trip was scheduled at the very last minute for my business, and I requested this device right away. But it took a few days for them to process my request, and I had to go without it for the first 2.5 days. It finally arrived on my 3rd day of this trip in the afternoon.

The device worked well, but it dies so quickly. After it was fully charged, it can work about 4, 5 hours depending on how much you use it. I felt like that was too short. I own a pocket WiFi (hot spot) in the U.S., and that lasts all day. So I was really disappointed about it.

The return process at the airport was very simple and easy. I appreciate that because I had a lot stuff to carry with me.

I would say this plan was good overall because of the price. I paid about $60 for 10 days, and it was cheaper than other options I had.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Hop on and Off in Tokyo

Reviewed by: MN&LG

What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Awesome way to see Tokyo in a short space of time.

Reviewed by: Ismail

The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.

I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.

If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

A convenient way to see Tokyo in 24 hours with kids in tow.

Reviewed by: Anita

The one we got on was an open top. Super punctual. The bus would be comfortable on a good day since there are no seats available downstairs. Therefore there’s limited space when it rains. Only 4 seats in the front row is covered while the rest is open hence the chances of getting those 4 seats? Very very very slim. And those who gets the seats in front would not hop off the bus. Our experience was 2 teenagers hogged all 4 front row seats to themselves.
Apart from the rain, it would have been a wonderful experience. You get to see so many interesting sites which we would not have seen by metro underground such as the Tokyo tower, the rainbow bridge, and the sky tree. This would have been the perfect tour on a lovely sunny weather. We sat towards the front of the bus… so we were sheltered from the strong winds, not the rain. I could not imagine sitting in the back in the wet, cold and with the freezing wind blowing. I glad we got shielded from the wind at least. However we saw some Japanese school kids at the back having an awesome time with the strong wind blowing in their faces, taking selfies, laughing and having so much fun.
The bus was not full perhaps because of the weather. We had 3 children under 5 in which we bought tickets for them too because if you do not, they would have to be seated on your lap. However if you have hyper active children… perhaps being on your lap could be a safer choice. Our kids enjoyed the ride and the view. When they are tired, they could just sleep comfortably leaning on you without falling over as the bus ride was very smooth! The driver was excellent. Even my daughter who is prone to motion sickness felt super.
Overall, it was a good experience. The commentary played correctly, at the correct venue and it was pretty informative. The adults appreciated the commentary while the kids enjoyed the view.

The lack of a roof and the high position provided a great view. When we drove on the Metropolitan Expressway, it was thrilling and really raised my spirits. We stopped for a while where we could see the Tokyo Skytree straight ahead, so we were able to take some great photos. However, you need to dress warmly because it gets cold with the wind rushing by.

屋根が無く、高い位置なので、眺めはとても良かったです。
首都高速道路を走った時は、迫力があってテンションが上がりました。スカイツリーが正面に見える所で長めに止まったので、写真もバッチリ撮れました。

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great Tour....

Reviewed by: Wilton

We had a great experience with Veltra... we bought the ticket and was very easy to find the location to exchange the tickets. The tour was awesome, always on time, clean bus with pleasant people and good information about the city. We had a great time in Tokyo and we discovered many places in Tokyo that probably we wouldn't find without this tour. Our main highlight was the Skytree tower (the tower has 2 levels, we went to both, they charge each level separated, but was worth to visit both), Asakusa temple (we spent a lot of time there, beautiful location and lots of shopping), Tokyo Tower (also has 2 levels, we just visited one as the second level was closed due the winds), and many more. Highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it.
