Can we use the iPhone charger in Japan?
I believe it is a mistake to judge the quality of a decision solely by its outcome. Good decisions (i.e. lumpsum investing) can have "bad" outcomes and bad decisions can have good outcomes simply because of luck— Germack

I heard BIC Camera is a good place to pick up a SIM. Just wondering if the BIC Camera at NRT airport is accessible on arrival or is it only departure?

Has anyone landed at the Narita airport? I just read that it is very inconvenient to get to the city, like almost 2 hours. Any advice? I read that if you book a cab, it's $250 CAD!

There is a rapid train going directly to Ueno Station. I remember it costs about 3,000 or 5,000 yen and take about 1 hour.sushislut604 wrote: ↑ Has anyone landed at the Narita airport?

Do not take a cab... It will take you forever to get into Tokyo and cost you a fortune. Trains (limited express/rapid service preferrably from Narita) would be the quickest to get into Tokyo from Narita.sushislut604 wrote: ↑ Has anyone landed at the Narita airport?

Good to know there are options!

I ordered a pocket wifi with this coupon code: https://tokyocheapo.com/tours/mobile-ho ... inja-wifi/ for 30% offrvs007 wrote: ↑ Definitely not worth doing Roam Like Home for a 12 day trip (comes to $144). Although I've never used a pocket wifi, I think you should at least consider getting a data sim card instead of Roam Like Home, which would only cost you about $40CAD for a 15 day card (or about 5 GB data bucket). I've used both of the following options before and both work great.
Bmobile Visitor SIM - 5GB / 21 days - ~$41CAD
https://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/index.html
Asia-Pacific Plus Unlimited data SIM / 15 days Japan and other parts of Asia-Pacific - $37.99CAD
https://www.amazon.ca/Asia-Pacific-Unli ... B075882XFD
The difference between the two is that for the Bmobile sim you need to either get it shipped to an airport for you to pick up or shipped to your hotel. I used this last year and had no issues. This year, I needed a data sim that worked in other parts of Asia (because I was arriving through Taiwan) and needed the sim card before I arrive, so I opted for the second option from Amazon.
Others have posted even better deals if you pick up the data sim locally or from the airport. But if you want to have the sim card ordered or shipped to you to Canada before the trip, then the two options I mentioned will be fine.
Got it as sharing with 3 devices (two phones and a tablet), plus unlimited data and airport easy pickup/drop off.
