There are Family Mart locations all over Japan, so it shouldn't be hard for you to find one close by. Creative Commons (K Baron: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kalleboo/4567704634) (Photo: Haruka Saijo)

Family Mart's Free Wi-Fi Service

A step-by-step photo guide

You may assume that Japan is a technologically advanced country and that you'll definitely have access to your online world 24/7 during your trip, but unfortunately, it's not an easy task to find Wi-Fi in Japan. However, with a little bit of preparation, the useless tablet or smartphone you have been carrying around can still turn into a wonderful door to the Internet.

I tried out Family Mart's free Wi-Fi service, which was good quality (fast and smooth). I'll first show you how to do the preparation in the store and then how you'll be able to connect to the Internet with some demonstration photos.

Note: They do not currently have an English page for the Family Mart Wi-Fi service, so I recommend that you follow the pictures carefully and in the correct order.
