Seriously I will admit I had problems at first as I am NOT technically inclined and the directions were a bit convoluted. Granted, I was traveling all day and super exhausted. A bonus they delivered the SIM card to my hotel so it was waiting for me when I arrived, and I installed it over dinner. It took me about 20
Min but most people it should take 5-10. Once I figured it out it worked like I dream and I was taking selfies and using Google
Maps to get all over Tokyo. I'd definitely use this service again.

Sorry to say that I find it very difficult to pick up the item because of the language barrier. Secondly, the postal name was not included in in the voucher that's why I have to inquire every postal booth in the airport terminal. Anyway, the good thing was, I find it very useful, especially when I was left behind during our train trip, I was able to call my friend to guide me where to embark.

After reading many reviews some positive and negative, we decided to try this Hop on Hop off bus ride. We (group of 10) started late due to our distance from Tokyo Station. As we got off the station we asked around to finally get to Mitsubishi building which one cannot miss its signage. It was freezing cold that day on 25th and we did our first ride through the first to last stop on the blue line. It was interesting as we listened to the introductions of the places we passed by through the ear recorder in the language we preferred. Personally, I felt I gained more knowledge as the voice introduced the places we passed through in the comfort of the open decker bus. We then took the purple line to Ginza /Tsukiji. By the time we reached Tsukiji, some shops started closing at 1.30pm. It is best to go early in the morning . We were left with not much time to visit Asakuse instead we took the last bus to go round to view the Tokyo Rainbow bridge in the night. It was a different sight when viewed in the night with all the llightings. I am very sure when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom next week, it is a good idea to take this hop-on hop-off bus as we passed the cherry trees which was budding then.
We are going to recommend our friends who will be visiting Tokyo to try out this bus as it is money well spent to enjoy the whole of Tokyo in a day.

Our group of 10 booked a private tour to the places we wanted to visit. It was rainy on 26th and the weather was freezing cold. Our driver from Veltra came on the dot outside our hotel. No time wasted and our friendly driver, Yakamura-san helped us with our luggage and we set off. Yakamura-san was very attentive and he brought us round our first destination, Soka University with great patience. Since it was rainy and the cherry blossoms were still budding, we couldnt walk in the park with the freezing weather, he went round Hachioji in search of delicious ramen and after a few rounds, he found one where it was good and cheap. We suggested Fuji Art Museum and he called up to be told it was closed on that day. Our last place was Edo Tokyo museum. We were too cold to enjoy and finally we set off for Haneda airport.
We were very pleased with the service, the van which was very spacious for the 10 of us. Most of all, Mr. Yakamura was very accommodating and patience as he helped us with our luggage in the rain. We shall recommend your service again to our friends and we shall book again with your company for our next trip to Japan.

The driver arrived early, was extremely courteous, and knew some English. The vehicle was very nice and tidy. Ride to airport was pleasantly uneventful. Bear in mind, these are shared rides. We traveled quite a way across the city to reach the other passenger who was going out to the airport, but arrived at Narita in plenty of time to catch our intercontinental flight. Since one normally walks and rides the Metro in Tokyo, it can be interesting to see some of the city by car. I would recommend the service highly.
Dear customer,
Thank you for your kind words. This is a big motivation for us. Customer's reviews also make us to improve our service in order to fulfill their expectations and always provide the best transfer services as possible.
Thank you very much and we will expect to serve you again the next time you come to Japan.

Pick ups and returns are always confusing as I don't know which counter to go to (Global wifi? Ninja wifi? something else?), especially after the long flights or running late to get on board.
Other than that, pleasant and helpful people at the counter, connections are mostly good (sometimes you have to restart the router or it stops working), and affordable. It's a must traveling in Tokyo!

Overall, I am happy we took your bus tour. We learned much about Tokyo and its history. However, when we got off for a cup of coffee on the Purple line we discovered that the next bus wouldn't be there for over 3 hours. Had to take a cab to get back to the hotel for our dinner reservation. Also, the taped message on the Blue line was not synchronized correctly and was off by several minutes. It was very difficult to place the narrative with the correct scenery.

This was our first time visiting Japan and this was a good way to start our vacation We boarded the sky bus at 3pm and found places we wanted to go back and explore the following day. The audio recording was helpful in giving suggestions of what is available to explore at each stop. The stop was easy to find when wanting to hop back on the bus.
We enjoyed the sky bus tour and the tickets worth worth the price. The entire family found it worth the price, even the teenagers. The tour was fun for the entire family. :) We will return to Japan to do more exploring.
Thank you sky bus team!! Especially the bus driver!!

This is a great way to get an overview of Tokyo and have the ability to get off and explore. We did two of the three lines and felt we had a better layout of Tokyo.
My teenagers even enjoyed it after hours of teasing me prior to arriving for our first ride. The hop on/hop off ability was very nice and the recommendations of why to get off and explore from the audio were helpful. . The stops were easy to find when you wanted to get onto the bus.
It is worth the price and we will ride the sky bus again when we are back in Tokyo. Thanks sky bus for showing us around Tokyo and areas to explore.

This is the first time we visited Tokyo with young children, we chose hop on hop off bus to get an overview of Tokyo. It's very easy for us to find their ticket office in Mitsubishi building, there are plenty of restaurants inside the building thus you can grab someting before boarding the bus. Bus arrival is super on time, clean and spacious. The route design also allow us to view most of the attractive places, bus attendants are helpful and polite.
There are three routes per day for travelers to choose, we managed to go blue & purple line within 24hours, I would strongly advise a well time planning is essential for you to finish all routes.
The disadvantage of the bus route is the bus didn't stop in front of the tourist places, e.g. Sensoji temple (Asakusa line) & Tsukiji fish market. There are about 10min walking distance, as I said, this is our first time in Tokyo, I need to remember where the bus stop is, so that I can find it after visiting the tourist places.
Besides, this is good to have Multilingual Audio Guide in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. However, the audio guide will suddenly switch to next introduction before ending the current one. I think this need improvement so that complete information is provided as described

外国人の友達が喜んでくれるといいなと思い、このツアーを予約しました。浅草コースとお台場コースの2つを巡りましたが、特に好評だったのはお台場コースです。まず初めの停留所は東京タワー横。綺麗にライトアップされた東京タワーは圧巻で、日本に住んでいる私にとっても感動的でした。乗車していたのが上がスケルトンになっているタイプのバスだったこともあり、接近して見上げるような角度で東京タワーの写真を撮ることができました。また、偶然にもレインボーブリッジの脇に花火を見ることができ、ラッキーな思いもできました。六本木まで足を伸ばせたら良かったのですが、バスの本数が少なく、断念しました。六本木のライトアップも綺麗な時期だと思うので、もう少し本数が増えれば良いのになぁと思います。また、最も困った点は、土曜日だったにもかかわらず平日ダイヤで運行していたことです。担当の方いはく、少し前から終日同じダイヤで走るようになったとのこと。当日の朝そのことを知り、予定を変えなくてはいけなくなったので、HPの方にも情報が載っていると良かったなと感じました。

The router worked perfectly, with coverage dropped maybe twice during the week in Tokyo. You will absolutely need an external battery as it will not last all day, but we carried several for our phones anyway. I think that hoe much you will need to charge the device depends on how much you use it, but I do not know for sure. It was essential fir our ability to navigate Tokyo, check the weather, or use Google Translate to tell people things. For me, an opportunity to share pictures and video (including FB live) on the go was a great bonus. And of course, I could play Pokémon Go (not much, we were too busy looking at things), which got me some great catches in Tokyo.

My mother was visiting Japan from America so I had it sent to my house to see if this would be a better option than the usual portable wifi we use. It arrived safely and on time to my place. But once I got it and tried to set it in my mother's American phone, it did not work. It was an android that was unlocked, but it had a lot of other settings that was not written in the instructions. I'm not sure if that's why it did not work. Luckily, I had internet in my house, but for those who do not have internet in advance, it will be quite troublesome.
I couldn't figure it out so I messaged the provider who kindly replied to me in English quickly. But it still didn't work. In the very end, I tried it on my iphone and it worked then. It is best for you to try it with a more popular phone than a random android.
Make sure your phone is on the list of phones and know what you're doing with your phone.

RECEPTION/SIGNAL/SPEED RELIABILITY IN TOKYO & MT. FUJI:
During my stay in Tokyo and short trip to Mt. Fuji, I had stable, reliable reception the entire time. The reception in the subway were still stable, but not always reliable when the train is actually moving between stations. The signal bar on my phone also never shows any signal/reception when using this card, which I don't like because I can't tell how strong the signal is, but yes, I am still receiving full signal I believe. You don't need to see those bars anyways since you won't use it for Talk. The network it's on is called Docomo, which is advertised everywhere in Tokyo, so I assume it's a major network. Speed is above average.
DELIVERY AND PACKAGE:
I had it sent to my residence. It was faster than I expected, but it was still around 1-2 weeks time. I almost forgot about it until I saw it in the mail. lol. Best thing about this little package is that it comes neatly packaged with 3 sim card adapters so you don't have to worry about whether the sim card fits your phone. It also comes with a handy pin to open your sim card slot with (iphone user here).
BOOKMARK THIS (or copy/paste) & FOLLOW THESE TIPS:
1. Keep all contents of the mailed package in your carry-on so you can easily change sims at the airport once you get off the plane.
2. You will need to be physically in Japan AND have wifi to complete the activation process. The airport has free wifi (you will need this, so please STAY at the airport until sim card is activated).
3. Follow the instructions that come with it.
4. IMPORTANT: One of the instructions that doesn't exactly tell you word-for-word on the pamphlet that came with it is that you HAVE TO REGISTER your information ONLINE before you get activated. It's a requirement. You WILL NOT get any reception if you don't register. So, remember to REGISTER!!
5. Make sure you are getting signal by visiting any webpage with your new sim card.
6. You may now leave the airport. Have fun!

Bus drivers very helpful, staff generally very kind and helpful. The two routes we took encompassed quite a great deal of the city. We preferred the route that took in the Rainbow bridge. We had a job finding the office to collect our ticket after getting our online voucher, but a kindly bus driver took us to the office and dropped us off. Once there we were able to get our tickets and were off. The bus is hop on hop off but limited in time, so we were only able to do the two routes in one day as there was a gap over lunch time, which is why we found a little restaurant near the office to while away the time until the afternoon bus. They are not as frequent as we have found in other cities, but on the whole worthwhile for the money.

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.

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!
