To those who wants to get a pocket wifi, you can consider GAC. I had wifi connections everywhere I went, even Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Alot of hotels will say they have free wifi...yeah, at the lobby area nia. Rooms are lan cables only. If they do have wifi in room, well it's not really that strong one.

Yah, don't go safest. No need to worry at all. No point go there but cannot enjoy tour cos worry here worry there. Worry water got radiation, worry whether the fish come from Fukushima sea.

Inb4, my fren's fren came back from Tokyo kena radiation cannot give birth. Until now we don't know who is this real "fren" with proof of medical report

Not sure how true is this. I have been staying in Tokyo for a few years and so far I see a lot of people giving birth to healthy babies. Even near my neighbourhood I see a lot of newborn. Unless you say Japanese are immune to radiation......

Even with so called "radiation", Japanese food is safer than Taiwan with their gutter oil scandal (except for McD Japan)

U shud ask them who is this "fren punya fren" that kena radiation. But to put it in a more polite way, I tell them to go Japan after they have given birth and have enough children when their factory can close shop di. So no need scared no offspring

Takayama and Shirakawa-go..

We also had open air bath onsen....damn perfect soaking in hotspring while watching the snow falling down and with the cool air......

when booking my hotels, most of it list LAN internet in rooms and not wifi in room, including the one i stay in Takayama. Due to that, i brought alongt a small portable wifi router.
turn out that all the hotels i stayed in have upgraded to in room wifi and i don't have to use the router
