3 Pocket Wi-Fi Rental Stores in Akihabara

Akihabara BC

Nowadays, there are an increasing number of places where you can use free Wi-Fi, such as convenience stores and restaurants.
However, have you ever been so engrossed in playing games or watching videos on your smartphone that you were worried about being restricted from using your data when you really needed it (such as when you looked at Google Maps and wanted to go to a specific store)?
This is especially true if it's your first time visiting a place.
With the Olympics being held this year, more people will likely visit Tokyo for sightseeing.
So I looked into whether there were any stores around Akihabara that rented pocket Wi-Fi.
