Are There Free Wi-Fis on Train Stations? or Recommend Places With Free Wi-Fi?

I'll be traveling with a big group (family of about 20+) and we might avail a portable wifi device for the group as a whole.

If I plan to do some stuff away from the group, are there any reliable places where they offer free wi-fi so I don't get lost?

I had good luck with free wifi at coffee shops. The fastest wifi I had in Japan was at a Starbucks. I haven’t had great luck with the free wifi on trains at all.

I have heard Ubigo is a good option for esim cards. Make sure to enroll when you have reliable internet access already.

If you’re looking for a vendor for your portable wifi, IVideo gave us a router with excellent speeds on my last visit, and the return process was a simple prepaid envelope. Make sure to double-check the opening hours of the shop if you pick up your router locally.
