Internet Service Providers
Japan offers a huge variety of internet solutions from providers the length and breadth of the country; from high-speed ‘hikari’ telephone services and cable TV companies. If you are staying at a Guesthouse you might already have internet access. If you have moved in to an older apartment you could be limited to your choice of internet (broadband/ADSL etc).
To get started you call one of the service providers and commit to an agreement where after installation (if necessary) will be conducted. After that you are good to go, just remember to pay your bill. Another alternative is to go down to one of the major appliance stores where you’ll find counters for most of the major Internet Service Providers. You will need show identification, such as your Alien Registration Card when you sign up.
