I had been looking all over the internet in regards to my options for using a phone or portable wifi device while in Japan. Most companies wanted about $14 USD per day. I'm so glad I found veltra! I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Japan. I took it as far as Hiroshima with no service issues. It didn't always work in certain department store buildings, but that wasn't an issue for me at all. It helped me to navigate through the Tokyo train system by myself and keep in touch with family back home. If you are going to Japan for any length of time, you should rent this device.

The guides are friendly and helpful. Very informative about the great sites of Tokyo. Many attraction and stops. It's just not easy to navigate between different lines once a tour is over

The WIFI portable router was waiting for me at my hotel in Kawaguchiko. Used it everywhere - on bus trips, in train, on long walks, - good coverage and signal. Search for restaurants, looked for maps and read reviews . Returning was easy. Just re-pack it - don't tear to throw the plastic bag it comes in - and fill the forms and go to any convenience store which are all over the place in Japan for delivery. I just passed it to the hotel reception to sort it out.
Thank you for using our service. We hope to see you again soon. :)

I rented the pocket WiFi for two weeks and had no problems with it. It was easy to carry around. It fit in my bag or pants pocket. My smart phone and my tablet were connected to the WiFi at the same time and it worked fine.
Returning the product was easy too. The envelope is prepaid, so I just dropped it off at the front desk of the hotel. The pickup by the transit company was a few hours later. I could have dropped it off at the convenience stores, too.
I will be renting from Veltra again when I go back to Japan in Sept.

My husband and I are traveling in Japan. In order to prevent unwanted roaming data charges from incurring on our phone bill we decided to rent the pocket wifi. The device was delivered to our hotel on time and after opening the package it was evident that it was compact enough to fit in your pocket or a small bag. The device was on all day and provided wifi for 2 iPhones without any problems. Data service was fast and constant. We were able to stay connected for business and leisure situations. The device was very helpful. Thank you.
Erica, thank you very much for liking our service. We definitely hope to see you again next time! :)

I had been interested in the open-top red bus for a while and thought I would ride it someday. Wanting to have an interesting experience with my friends, I made a reservation this time.
You can choose to exchange your tickets either near Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Station. We opted for Tokyo Station. The one-day ticket allows you to choose from three courses: Roppongi Course, Odaiba Course, and Asakusa Course. We initially chose the Odaiba Course because we thought the views would be beautiful.
Once we boarded, I was surprised by the height of the bus. It departs from Marunouchi, and the various buildings I usually see looked completely different from up high. It's amazing how much your perspective changes with height.
There was a lot of greenery and beautiful buildings, and I felt proud to be living in such a beautiful city. The bus headed towards the bay area, and surprisingly, it even went onto the expressway! I was a bit nervous about that.
It was a very sunny day, so the views of Odaiba were stunning. About 60% of the passengers were from overseas, and when Odaiba came into view, everyone cheered! We also passed by the Rainbow Bridge!
After that, we had lunch in Odaiba and returned to Marunouchi to join the Asakusa Course. Unlike the Odaiba Course, there weren't many scenic views, but we went under elevated tracks multiple times, which felt like an attraction.
At first, I thought I might get bored quickly, but it was so much fun that I didn't want to go back at all. Next time, I plan to dress warmly! I want to ride again!
前々から、オープントップの赤いバスが気になっており、いつか乗ろうと思ってました。友達と何か面白い体験をしたいと思い、今回予約しました。
チケット交換所は、スカイツリーか東京駅近くかで選べます。
私たちは東京駅からにしました。一日券は3コースから選べます。六本木コース、お台場コース、浅草コース。私達は景色がキレイそうという理由で、はじめはお台場コースに。乗車してバスの高さにびっくり。初めは丸の内から出発ですが、いつも見るいろんなビルが違うビルに見えてびっくり。高さでこんなにも見方な変わるのですね。
緑が多くて、キレイな建物がいっぱいで、私はこんなキレイな都市に住んでいたのかと誇らしくなりました。
湾岸の方に向かうバス。なんとこのバス首都高にもこのまま乗ります。ちょっとドキドキでした。
すごく晴れていた日だったので、お台場の景色がキレイに見えます。乗客は6割くらいは海外からの方でしたが、お台場がきれいに見えた瞬間わ皆さん歓声があがりました!レインボーブリッジも通りますよん!
その後私たちはお台場でランチしてまた丸の内まで戻り、浅草コースに参加しました!
お台場コースと違い、景色に花はないですが、高架下を何回も通るのでアトラクションみたいな気分を味わえました。
初めはすぐ飽きちゃうかなと思ったのですが、すごく楽しく、寒全然帰りたくありませんでした。
今度は厚着して挑もうと思います!また乗りたいです!

I scrambled to get a pocket wifi rental booked 2 weeks before my trip to Japan during the height of the cherry blossom season, so I ended up looking at most, if not all, of pocket wifi rental prices for 10 days. Veltra was the only place that still had availabilities but not seeing many reviews online, I was hesitant to try it. However, Veltra ended up not only offering the lowest price for 10 days ($52 at the time I rented) but also did not charge for delivery and free returns to and from the hotel I was staying. The device worked wonderfully throughout my trip to Tokyo, Atami, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kanazawa for multiple devices, including Skype calls overseas. The device was delivered prior to my check in so I was handed the package as soon as I arrived. Very convenient and a must for freign travelers in Japan. I highly recommend Veltra.

I often use Hop-on-Hop-off buses when traveling abroad, but I didn't know they were available in Japan. This time, I took all three routes to enjoy cherry blossom viewing. I was a bit worried that traffic jams might disrupt the bus schedule, but I was amazed at how accurate it was. I would love to ride again in a different season.
海外旅行時には現地でHop-on-Hop-offのバスをよく利用しますが、日本でもあるなんて知りませんでした。今回は桜見物を目的に3ルート全て乗りました。車の渋滞があったりしてバスのスケジュールが狂わないかなとおもいましたが、ま~~正確でおどろきました。また違う季節に乗りたいです。

I used the service from March 20 to 21.
I felt a thrill when passing just under the bridge supports, near the highway entrances, and right next to the plantings at each stop.
There were times when we had a Japanese guide and times when we didn't, and I thought it would have been better to have explanations.
It was extremely cold with the wind blowing, but I still enjoyed it to some extent.
3月20日から21日にかけて利用しました。
橋脚のすぐ下や高速道路の入り口や、各停留所の植え込みギリギリを通過するときはドキドキしました。
日本語のガイドさんが付いているときとそうでないときがあって、せっかくなら説明があったほうがよいと思いました。
風に吹かれて超寒かったですけど、それなりに楽しめました。

We booked the pick up service and it happened that we had to arrive in Tokyo 2 days earlier. I informed veltra by email 12 hours before my arrival and they were kind enough to arrange for the pick up at such short notice. As we got out of customs we saw our driver waiting for us with our name tags. He was extenely sweet and helpful. He was very patient and guided us to currency exchange and waited while we got done.
The drive from the airport was long but not boring as the driver took interest and showed us all the places that were passing by.
He was very informative and hospitable!
Thank you veltra for your support :)

This was a great way for my family and I to tour Tokyo. Using the trains you cannot see the city, and it was very useful to see how to get around Tokyo and how the neighborhoods connect. We stopped at Sky Tree, Asakusa, Akihabara and Nihonbashi, and had enough time to explore each place without rushing. My parents really enjoyed it.

I took a friend from overseas who just started working in Tokyo. We took the SKY HOP bus with the greatest weather. It made our day the best. Even though I live in Tokyo, thanks to the guide I found something new in Tokyo. It truly changed my mood by sightseeing, shopping and the lunch. The sightseeing course is perfect for couples or families. Today we took only one course from the three. Next time I would like to try the others.

I went sightseeing in Tokyo at the request of a friend who is being transferred overseas for a long term! The weather was great, and the breeze from the SKY HOP bus felt wonderful. With a guide accompanying us, I discovered new things about Tokyo, even though I live here. It was a nice change of pace with sightseeing, shopping, and lunch! I think it would be enjoyable for dates or families as well. Today, we only went through one of the three courses, but I felt like I wanted to try a different course next time!

I had a one-day ticket, so I rode twice, first at 10:20, from Marunouchi to Skytree, second at 17:30 from Marunouchi to Odaiba. When I was on the first row, it felt like a rollercoaster even though it was a normal curve. You can see a 360 degree panoramic view in the middle as well as in the back. It was so overwhelming. I would highly recommend it for small children. As a grownup, I enjoyed the bus guide’s story, full of knowledge.
