I checked the above site for now.

I think it is more disadvantageous to convert "Yen" to "Dollar" in this country than in Japan. Maybe........

I have converted dollars → into yen at Narita Airport when I went to Japan for a trip a long time ago,
but I did it because I needed it for my trip to Japan, so I did not care about the market price at all.

Sorry for the useless response.

I would like to say 😭 I will exchange my money because every time I have to pay a Japanese bank to convert my money to dollars → yen for a fee.

The conversion rate is important, but I try not to carry cash in the US, so I think it's better to come all the way here in Japan. I think it's better to come all the way from Japan. After exchanging money, there are a lot of cases where people think you have money and follow you and rob you. I don't know from the airport yet, but it seems to be common in banks. I think it is better to exchange money in Japan and carry it safely.

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.

Thank you for your kind suggestion. I appreciate your pains. I understand that there are cases where there are documents that need to be returned that have a deadline.　I'm looking for a service that will open it when it comes in, take a picture of what's inside, and tell me on line or by email that I got a letter with this content.

Do you know of any ？

Topix, it's iPOST, a private company PO Box.

or
the virtual mail service of HUB Coworking or The Box Jerry Coworking,
if I recall, they will open your mail and send you a picture in the mail if you sign a contract saying you may open it.

It is illegal to open other people's mail, so you have to
agree to it in your contract.

Ordinary Post Office will not do that for you.

Topy
I don't think we have that kind of service.
I don't think the post office can open your mail. But you can go to the post office and ask. It's a no-go.

Come back and check it out yourself.
Or you can pay a friend to do it for you.
I used to live in a condominium and when I was away for a long period of time, I paid
the management office of the building to do it for me.

It was 50 years ago and I don't remember the name.　Sorry ## I'm sorry I said I wouldn't go out with you because people have bad reputations. It was a love that was out of reach and I was stupid enough to give up on you as the bad guy. I will always remember you.

In the case of private sales on Vivinavi, I have the impression that there are a number of people who are surprisingly insincere.
Some people, like Maru-san, have expressed an interest in purchasing a property, but have lost contact with the seller,
others demand a large reduction in price without hesitation, and some cancel or do not show up right before the purchase ・ ・ ・

Of course there are many sensible people. I think there are many of them.
However, there have been several cases where I have hit the above mentioned people.
I can't help but feel again that there are some people who don't
care or don't realize that there are flesh-and-blood people on the other side of the screen and that one of their actions may offend them.

I see,
I was more surprised because the last two times I have been here they have been very nice people.
I will wait until another prospective buyer shows up.
Thank you.

＃ As 4Yamada said, there are many sensible people, but there was one who did not show up at the meeting place date and time.

I won't give my nickname here, but he wanted to exchange mobile numbers, so I didn't think he was lying.

I hope that if something like that happens to you that you are not alone. If something like that happens to you, I hope you will think that you are not the only one.

I have experience with private sales, both selling and buying.
To hear from buyers
1, I didn't check what went into my spam holder.
2, I probably deleted it with other mail before checking.
I think these are the main reasons.
If you don't want to lose time on these issues,
prompt the spammer to check his/her mail. or
add the phone number from the second exchange.

Buying and selling is not only a great way to get what you want, but
it is also a great way to meet new people.
I have been able to buy and sell without any problems,
but
I remember the time when I had to travel all the way to Kapolei to buy something
and was turned down even though we had communicated in advance.
