You have Nozomi (fastest), Hikari and Kodama (slowest).

JR Pass means Hikari and Kodama only...

I've rented from Global Advanced Communications on both trips to Tokyo and can confirm they work fine at Enoshima, Kamakura, Hakone as well.

If you're not getting the unlimited one, try to stay off YouTube or you'll be sorry. Don't get the eco/slim types unless you've got an extra power bank around to resuscitate it by afternoon.

I'm using this
https://www.econnectjapan.com/

no problem with the connection, I only take 3G but fast enough for me to do last minute info search while on the train and navi. Last time free come with spare batteries and got discount if bought the plan 3 week earlier...

pick up from post office in KIX.. return in haneda's lawson post box.

nope... last about half a day.. that's why come with powerbank.. tongue.gif very cheap powerbank.. but very helpful in times of need..

i do carry my own powerbank too.. so make sure u have multiple adaptor to charge everything at night time.. fast charger is a must in my case.

well.. i agree with RC opinion on this... unless the experience you want from your japan trip is actually shinkansen ride only...

my advice if people ask from me..(if there actually people ask my advice)

arrive osaka.. stay kansai.. plenty of things to do..

arrive chitose.. stay hokkaido.. plenty of things to do..

arrive haneda.. stay tokyo.. plenty of things to do..

and so on..
