理由

Why data matters here

Advance tickets are sold and shown through the official online service.

Daily results and schedules are posted on the official site during the tournament.

Ryogoku is a short train ride from central Tokyo, and route search makes it easy to add other sights.

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.
