Is there Wi-Fi in the housing?

Whether Wi-Fi is available depends on the accepting company (workplace) and the type of housing.

[When Free Wi-Fi Is Available]
In some cases, the company has an internet subscription, and you can use it at no additional cost from the day you move in.
Since there are no initial setup fees, even those new to life in Japan can use it with peace of mind.

[When Wi-Fi is available but you must cover the costs yourself]
Although the room is equipped with Wi-Fi, you will be responsible for paying the monthly usage fees yourself.
The monthly fee is typically around 3,000 to 5,000 yen and may be deducted from your salary or paid separately.

【If You Sign Up for a Plan Yourself】
・Sign up for an internet service on your own
・Purchase or rent a pocket Wi-Fi device
・Upgrade your smartphone to a high-data plan
For fixed-line connections, it may take several weeks for service to be activated, so it’s best to check in advance.

*Wi-Fi availability and costs vary depending on the job offer and housing arrangement.
For details, please check the “Housing” section of the job listing or ask during your interview.
