I can't wait to write this review. The pocket wifi is amazing work of technology. It is so simple and yet powerful stuff. I am a wonder to myself and to get connected to Internet everywhere I go within the city. I don't have to rush back to my hotel for anything ( especially alongside my power bank). Once I hit the road, the hotel people never see my back until close to midnight. Yet, this pocket wifi never looses its power. Thank you and thank you. It makes my holiday a memorable one.
I highly recommend this Pocket wifi to anyone that want to have a fun filled holiday .
Unfortunately after my above review, my bag was stolen and this pocket wifi was one of the items lost. The company charged me ¥31000 for the lost router! Please keep the router securely at all times.

We rented Veltra's pocket wifi for 7 days. we asked that it be dropped off in our hotel. however, upon arriving in the hotel, we were informed by the front desk person that it has not arrived yet (that was around 11am). I was actually expecting that it will be there when we arrived, so this was quite disappointing for me. however, when our time for our check in has come, the receptionist handed it to me already (around 1pm), so i was happy already.
it was very useful especially when navigating around Japan. it helped us check the right routes to take. it was able to save us when we almost got lost when we accidentally missed our train stop.
We were not able to use the device however for one day because there was no signal. this was in Koyasan. Not a big deal however, because the place was small and we did not need it much for navigation.
The drop off was also very easy - we just left it in a box in their small booth in KIX airport.
Overall, we will still use Veltra when we go back to Japan.

Hi! The transaction process went smooth - delivery was also timely. However, we were not happy with the fluctuating connection experienced in different areas of Tokyo. It was very frustrating because we rented a pocket wifi to make our travel easier - but it did not happen.
Would not recommend.

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.
Thank you for using our service! We are glad that you enjoyed our service and we look forward to serving you again.

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 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.

We rented the pocket wifi LTE version for 15 days. Pickup scheduled at Narita Nikko Hotel worked without problems. It was fantastic. We used Viber to send photos real time to USA family and spoke many times with USA family members even on bullet train at over 100+ mph!! I used Google Maps extensively to follow train, bus, cab, walking paths throughout Japan from mountainous Hakone(near Mt. Fuji) to crowded cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe etc!! It was all possible with the wifi in my coatpocket.
While shopping, I used wifi to compare prices with Amazon.com in US or look up product features on things I needed. We could even have more than 5 devices routing at the same time including Barnes and Noble Nooks, Blackberry, Android phones etc.. I even continued online course on MongoDB database using wifi. I downloaded necessary books, course material, and viewed videos provided by course without problems. It was like never leaving the USA as far as connectivity. Thanks Veltra and Pocke Wifi Rental for greatly enhancing a wonderful Japan trip!!

A must have, so much better than an expensive international data plan! Unlimited data delivered to your hotel, and returning is as simple as giving it back to your hotel with the return slip via ta-q-bin. Also very good for navigating and accurate gps locating using google maps or other apps, especially the japan transit app. We would be lost in the dark with out this device. Connect any devices that uses wifi. Forget about waiting to get to a hotel wifi to post pictures about your trip, do it instantly!

Hassle free pick up from our hotel's lobby.
We stayed connected while touring around Tokyo, even inside the trains. Battery life was amazing that lasts for 1 whole day. Even though Tokyo has lots of free wifi hotspots, it is very handy to bring along your own wifi, it's not so expensive after all. Speeds come up to 30 mbps.
Hassle free return also through any convenience store.

Rented the pocket wifi for 10 days and it arrived promptly at my hotel before we arrived, picked up from the front desk, had some confusion to using it as instructions was in Japanese, approached my hotel's front desk and was told that a SIM card was needed, so I emailed Veltra and they replied quickly. The SIM card was already included just needed to on/off my device again to get it going, login details/password was also on the side of the box! Got my wifi going! Worked in subways and even when I was in Yudanaka( mountain regions). Very good pricing, just hope that some form of english instructions can be included as well. Had to pay postage to send it back, could be done at the hotel or airport. Would rent again!!!
