理由

Why data matters here

The official page runs real-time updates when rain changes whether the floats are shown.

Float display spots and the procession follow a published timetable that you will want on the move.

The old-town lanes get crowded, and a shared map is the easiest way to find your group again.

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.
