Japan is making progress in making things easier for foreign tourists. The latest is a Wi-Fi locating system that was started last Friday.
According to JapanToday:
TOKYO —Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation (NTT East) and NAVITIME Japan, a route search and navigation content service provider, on Friday began offering Free Wi-Fi Spot Search as a convenient offline feature in the NAVITIME for Japan Travel English-language app for tourists visiting Japan.
Coinciding with the launch, NTT East will offer two-week usage of its FREE Wi-Fi service, as well as detailed information about hotspots where the service can be used.
NAVITIME for Japan Travel provides visitors with multi-modal navigation solutions in English, including searches for tourism spots and navigation via mass transit systems. According to a fiscal 2011 survey conducted by the Japan Tourism Agency, the need for free public wireless LAN environments is a primary concern of international tourists visiting Japan.To read more, go here.
