I am planning to go to Japan for the first time in a long time. Before Corona, I used to rent a Japanese cell phone or portable Wi-Fi when going to Japan. When I went to Canada, I used Verizon's Travel Pass. I used Wi-Fi in hotels in Canada to access the Internet. I would like to know what you do when you go to Japan ？ I would like to get your advice because I am not good with tech. I would like to confirm that
I can make phone calls and text when I use Verizon's travel plan, but I can only use the Internet in hotels and shopping centers that have Wi-Fi. It is enough, though.
If I use eSIM, does it mean that I can only use internet in Japan or do I need Verizon travel plan at the same time ？？
If I use Verizon travel plan, do I turn on roaming in Japan? ？
Sorry for all the stupid questions 🙇‍ ♀ ️Please advise me 🙇.

Unlimited is good if you don't mind slowdowns ！

I don't know anything difficult, so I can always use it normally. I can expect to panic if it suddenly slows down or stops while I'm driving, so I'm excited to get unlimited.

I think people who understand how much they use, GB and capacity, can save more.

Last year I don't remember my battery running that low if I charged it in the morning and went and used it occasionally on the road, but this year I was often frustrated because I just used it a little and it ran out of charge quickly.

Last year I didn't carry a mobile charger with me, but this year if I didn't have a mobile charger, the battery was completely dead before the evening.

It is quite heavy to carry mobile charger, smartphone, and pocket Wi-Fi. But I think it is a sacrifice to make my stay in unfamiliar Japan as convenient as possible.

＞ I turned it on only when I wanted to make a call, since there was no incoming call.

This is too old a story to be of any help, but it was around 2012 when I stayed overnight in Dogo Onsen Town in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture on a walking pilgrimage to Shikoku on a trip to Japan, and the next morning I was walking through the city to the next temple, No. 52, Taiyama-ji. The next morning, I was walking through the city to the next temple, 52nd Taisanji Temple, when my cell phone rang through my pocket WiFi.

When I picked up the phone, it was a friend of my wife's (XX) and she said, "I tried to call you but you didn't answer, so I called your husband. \If you are there, can you please take over the phone?

That's not good. I picked up the phone and said, "I'm walking around Matsuyama city in Shikoku, Japan, and of course my wife is not around, so I'll hang up the phone. But the other party didn't seem to understand what I said, so they called me again right away.

I have such memories of Pocket WiFi, and I can still clearly recall the situation.

Thank you all for all the advice. I apologize for not responding to some of them. 🙇‍ ♀️We got back from Japan yesterday, we are here for a week. My husband texts frequently with friends in the US, so we got the Verizon travel pass. It's $12 a day per person. We went to Fukuoka City and stayed at a hotel with Wi-Fi, a shopping mall with Wi-Fi, used LINE with relatives in Japan, and were able to roam and Google where there was no Wi-Fi. Everything went well. Thank you all for your advice ♪ ❤️❤️👍👍🙇

#23 Anna,

I see...that's a way to go. I will use it as a reference for my trip to Japan next spring.

Well, I'm too old to surf the net while traveling in Japan unless I have to. Younger people may have many chances to contact their parents, siblings, or best friends by phone, but I am over 80 years old and my mother, who is over 100 years old, is living in a very good facility, but I have lost my head. I go to visit her at the facility, but I can't get a conversation going, even though my son has come to visit her. I guess that's what she means.

I am retired and have no job. The children are all on their own and seem to be safe and sound, and I haven't heard from them.
My old dog passed away at the age of 18. I am bored and bored.

We do Ichihara City Aphasia once each spring, summer, fall and winter. People with aphasia have difficulty in speaking and cannot communicate what they want to say to others, and it makes it hard for them to leave their homes. Some of them become depressed.
Come and talk with us ？
Qualified speech therapists and supporters will help you to speak.

As many of you may already know,
the Family Registration Law was revised on May 26th (Japan time), and furigana will now be included.
Those who have a certificate of residence in Japan will receive a postcard from the local government confirming their yomigana, but those who have removed their certificate of residence will not receive any notice.
The following link contains Q&A for overseas residents. I also think that the Consulate General of Honolulu will contact us in due course.
If you have a name that is easily misread （ yourself ） I think it would be a good idea to read it.

I live in Japan, est. and I am in Hawaii. I got my Hawaii driver's license 25 years ago and renewed it once, but I was told like without proof of living here, gas and electric receipts and social security number, it expires in 2019, but I saw a post here and it said that in Waianae you can renew it if you have your passport and license. I read here that you can renew your passport and driver's license in Wai'anae. I would like to know if this is really possible and if I have to make an appointment.

It's not possible anymore, it's been quite a few years since they got stricter.
Tourists in Esta can no longer renew or even get a new one, without a SSN and a current address.

You can find the documents needed to renew your license here.
https://alohaq.honolulu.gov/?lp&cat=1&name=Driver%20Licensing%20and%20Satellite%20Services
I have not looked closely, but given the current Given the current situation, I think that renewal with a passport and driver's license may be difficult ？.
I don't know if walk-ins can renew.

I also heard that a written and road test is required one year after your license expires.
https://www.honolulu.gov/csd/drivers-license-faq/#:~:text=You%20can%20renew%20your%20expired,well%20as%20the%20road%20test.
What happens if I let my Hawaii license expire?

However, I think it has been possible to switch from a Japanese license to a Hawaii license without an exam for several years now.
Maybe, but I think that only applies to residents.
I think you can check that by yourself.

Postscript.
Perhaps the submitter was referring to a previous post here. I recall because I answered some of them myself.

This one is not a Real ID, You mentioned that you got a Limited Purpose Driver's License, not a Real ID.
I wonder if this one also fulfills the contributor's purpose and what proof of residency is required.
