If the free Wi-Fi in Sapporo does not work...

Sapporo, a popular tourist spot, has free Wi-Fi that anyone can use 24 hours a day, free of charge.

Free Wi-Fi is definitely useful for checking tourist information, train and bus schedules.

However, if too many people connect to the free Wi-Fi at once, it may cause problems such as slow communication speeds or sudden loss of Wi-Fi connection.

In such cases, we recommend bringing a pocket Wi-Fi device that can be carried easily or using an "eSIM" that can be used immediately from the day of registration.

Use other means to connect to the Internet and enjoy sightseeing in Sapporo!
