Put your money away, Japan says this Wi-Fi on us
Dec. 22, 2010 | Wall Street Journal
Tourists visiting Japan often complain that it is next to impossible to find free Wi-Fi hotspots in the country....
...the Japan Tourism Agency says it is promoting a plan to start offering free
Wi-Fi at Japanese airports, seaports and other tourist spots starting sometime in 2011...
...The tourism agency said in order to make Tokyo airports like Narita and Haneda into regional hubs, it has to start offering free Wi-Fi because other Asian hub airports in Singapore and Korea already do so. It also plans to make the service available at about 100 tourist information centers throughout Japan.

Be careful using free/open wifi hotspots without a VPN. Google "Firesheep" to understand why.

You had me all excited for a second there until I took your advice...and realized someone's been using this against me for the past couple of weeks. Thanks for that, I would never have found out otherwise.

Free Wi-Fi in one hundred locations around the country, that'll definitely bring in the ten million tourists they're hoping for.

I don't think people will flock to Japan solely for the internet service.

They don't need that many, just another two million or so in the last few days of this month for them to meet the ten million tourist target.
