Do you need to activate JR pass before picking up pocket wifi?

Hi there!

We are arriving in Osaka (Kansai Intl airport) on July 14.
We want to activate our 14 day JR Rail Pass on July 15 (so we can use it on July 28).

We've also ordered a pocket wifi for July 14 (when we arrive).

My question: do we have to have our JR Rail Pass activated in order to pick up our pocket wifi?

Hi there

WiFi and the JR Pass are two different services and not linked in any way. For details see: How pocket wifi works in Japan.

You can start using one without the other :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
