Recently, many properties have been including internet access as part of the rent in Japan.

For foreigners staying only for a short term of one or two years, it’s especially recommended that they look for properties with free internet to avoid setting up a separate contract.

For those who often use online meetings or internet games, choosing a property with a stable fiber optic connection called “Hikari Internet” is recommended.

If the property does not come with internet access, you will need to arrange the contract yourself.

Unless the building is only compatible with a specific internet provider, it’s better to choose the optimal plan based on your purpose of use, the number of users, and each provider’s coverage area.
