Pros and cons

Pros

  • Daily price of ¥440 keeps a short Japan trip easy to budget.
  • Unlimited data is on offer, listed as the unlimited data feature, and the capped plans slow down past the daily cap.
  • Pickup at airport counters or courier delivery to your hotel, with a counter, courier or airport return box for the return.

Cons

  • Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no chat or email listed for questions on the ground.
  • Unlimited data comes with strings: past the daily cap the speed drops, and very heavy use in a day can suspend the service, with a fair use policy that says Excessive use may cause reduced speed.
  • It is built for a single market, with JP as its home country, so it does not stretch beyond Japan.

Scored 9.0 / 10 by NomadCue.

Who it suits

  • You land in Japan and want a device in your bag the same day, with airport counter pickup or courier delivery to your accommodation.
  • You browse, stream and map all day and want unlimited data, with a daily cap you can live inside.
  • You travel solo or as a pair, since the device handles 2 devices at once.

Who should look elsewhere

  • WOM Chile, listed at CLP 3,990 a day, fits a Chile trip better than a Japan-only device.
  • QCell, whose roaming data packages cover 50MB to 2GB per roaming data package, suits a traveller who wants data across markets rather than one home country.

The company behind it

Ninja WiFi is operated by Vision Inc., a company based in Japan, so the service is built around a single home market rather than a wide roaming footprint. Support runs through phone and help centre, which keeps things simple for a traveller who mainly needs a number to call and a help centre to search, and leaves chat and email off the table.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Ninja WiFi cost per day?+

Plans run at ¥440 a day, with the entry point quoted at ¥770. Unlimited data sits inside the range rather than being sold as a separate data top-up, so the daily rate carries the whole cost. Pick the plan length that matches how long you are in the country.

Is the data allowance really unlimited?+

Unlimited data is listed as available, and it shows as the unlimited data feature. The catch sits in the allowance: the capped plans reduce speed once you pass the daily cap, and use beyond a very heavy daily total may suspend the service. So read unlimited as generous rather than endless.

What happens if I stream heavily during a day?+

Speed drops once the daily cap on a capped plan is used up, and the fair use policy puts it plainly: Excessive use may cause reduced speed. If a day of heavy video and maps is likely, the plan sold as the Infinite plan is the better match, and keeping an eye on the daily total avoids a surprise.

How do I collect and return the device?+

You can pick it up at an airport counter at major Japanese airports or have it couriered to your hotel or other accommodation. Returns are flexible: a counter, a courier or an airport return box all work. If a handover slips, support runs on phone and help centre.

How many devices can share the connection?+

The device handles 2 devices at once, so it is sized for a traveller or a pair rather than a group. Anyone else joining would need an extra device picked up at the same counter, so plan the handover for the whole party.

How do I get help while I am in Japan?+

Support runs through phone and help centre, so a phone call and a searchable help centre are the routes in. Chat and email are not listed, which is worth knowing before you fly if you prefer writing things down. The operator, Vision Inc., is based in Japan.
