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 so that more people can use it, such as by receiving it at the station in advance when visiting Narita Airport or Haneda Airport.
