Asakusa offers free Wi-Fi for tourists. For example, Asakusa Free Wi-Fi is available around places like Kaminarimon and Sensoji Temple. Some cafés and hotels also provide free Wi-Fi. It’s a convenient way to save mobile data.
But before you connect to just any network, there are some things you should keep in mind. Especially, be cautious about Wi-Fi networks that don’t clearly state who’s providing them.
How to Use Free Wi-Fi Safely
Stick to Official Wi-Fi Networks
Networks like Asakusa Free Wi-Fi, or those offered by cafés and tourist spots, are generally safer.
Avoid connecting to random networks with names like “Free_WiFi” or “Public_WiFi”—these could be traps.
Avoid Entering Personal Information
Don’t use free Wi-Fi for banking or shopping.
If you must log in somewhere, mobile data is the safer choice.
