Seven-Eleven is the biggest convenience chain company in Japan. You’ll see the stores just about everywhere in Tokyo. 7-Eleven has 20,904 stores in Japan. In Tokyo, there are 2,743 stores. 7-Eleven’s free Wi-Fi service is called 7spot.
It’s quite simple to register! Even though I was outside the shop, I could connect to the WiFi, and the speed is no problem. The Japanese research website, モバうぃふぃ, said that the speed of 7-Eleven’s free-WiFi is the fastest compared to other convenience stores. So I like it! You can see 7-Eleven everywhere in Tokyo so I recommend registering with this service.
Easy to register and the fastest speeds
Avarage speed of free-WiFi according to モバうぃふぃ
Seven&i holdings is a giant of a company, and once you’ve registered, you can connect to the free-WiFi at affiliated companies such as Denny’s, the children’s clothes shop Akachanhonpo, and the super market Yorkmart. It seems convenient but it does have a limit. You can connect for 60 minutes in a single session, three times a day. This means you can use it for 3 hours in total in one day. If you had lunch at the diner, Denny’s, for a long time, it would be pretty convenient. But if you’re moving around the city, because you can only access three times a day you also can only login at a maximum of 3 spots in one day. On the other hand, 7-Eleven is very easy to find so we recommend registering before coming to Japan, just in case.
