Where can one use free Wi-Fi?

 Please look at the following site.
 [ TRAVEL JAPAN Wi-Fi ]

 You can alaso use the applications below to look for free Wi-Fi.
 Wi-Fi Navi  [ iTunes (JP) ]  [ Google Play ]
 WiFi Map  [ iTunes ]  [ Google Play ]

  No security measure has been taken in most free Wi-Fi. Just imagine that your password and the content of your Email are read by somebody else. In Japan, fraud is rampant. You must give up the idea that Japan is a safe country.
