“WiFiBOX” is a new overseas Wi-Fi rental service released by our company on April 1, 2022. Not only can you rent it for as low as 300 yen (tax included), which is by far the lowest price in the industry, you can pick it up and return it unattended, with unlimited plans available not only in Japan but also in approximately 130 countries and regions around the world, the largest number in the industry. This is an automatic rental service for mobile Wi-Fi routers (patent pending). A charging cable is stored in the device, and the mobile battery and Wi-Fi function are integrated, pursuing convenience that eliminates the need for extra luggage. In addition, our service design, which has multiple effects in many areas, was highly praised and received the 2022 Good Design Award.
Currently, in addition to major airports nationwide such as Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, and Kansai International Airport, we also provide services in cities and commercial facilities such as Tokyo Station, tourist information centers in Shinjuku and Shibuya, and Shinjuku Mylord, and are gradually expanding nationwide. We are doing so. Now, it has been decided that a new installation will be installed at Keisei Funabashi Station, and the WiFi BOX service will start from 10:00 on Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
This is the first time for a railway company to install WiFi BOX, bringing the total number of WiFi BOX installation locations to 51 facilities and 58 locations. Going forward, we will continue to actively install these systems at domestic airports, stations, commercial facilities, etc., with the aim of further improving convenience for our customers.
Installation background
WiFiBOX has been installed at Narita Airport and Haneda Airport since the service began, and is used by many overseas travelers and foreign tourists visiting Japan from overseas. In addition, we will install them near major stations in Tokyo, such as inside JR Tokyo Station, Akihabara Station, Shinjuku Station, and Shibuya Station, so that you can pick up and return them when going from the airport to the city center or before heading from the city to the airport. We have improved convenience.
The Keisei Main Line is the main line connecting central Tokyo and Narita Airport, and by using the Keisei Oshiage Line, which connects Aoto Station and Oshiage Station, as well as the Toei Asakusa Line and Keikyu Line, you can get to Haneda Airport with one train. It is also possible to go. For people living in Chiba Prefecture, this route is extremely convenient as a route to the airport, and Keisei Funabashi Station ranks fourth in terms of number of passengers in 2022 among the 69 stations on all Keisei Electric Railway lines. . Therefore, we have decided to install it this time so that more people can use it, such as by receiving it at the station in advance when visiting Narita Airport or Haneda Airport.
