理由

Why data matters here

Performance times differ by group and venue, and you will check the official timetable again and again as you move between them.

The organiser warns that weather can move a morning or evening performance to the next day. You hear about it online first.

Nagasaki's venues are linked by streetcar, which is simple with live route search and confusing without.

質問

Four questions, answered straight

When does the clock start?

Not at purchase. Each plan says at checkout whether its days begin when you install it or when it first connects in Japan.

How long does setup take?

About two minutes. We email a QR code; scan it before you fly and forget about it.

What if something goes wrong?

One-for-one replacement, and any unused plan is refunded.

Can I hotspot?

It depends on the plan, and checkout shows it before you pay. Hotspot uses the same data.
