Free Internet For Travelers In Japan

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

As a foreigner, using internet cafes in Japan has mixed results. Some, I guess those in more foreigner-aware neighborhoods (in Tokyo, Roppongi and Shibuya, for example) have proven successful for me. Others say I need to have my passport (not necessarily an issue) and permanent Japanese address to add in, among other bits of information. Fortunately, I have a couple of internet cafe membership cards (Manboo is one) which were obtained before the rejections started happening, but one hint is, if you've got WiFi-capable device, hike up the steps to where the net cafe is and test it out. It worked for me in Kameido, by the train station.
