deong: Jun 13, 2001; I'll see you in heck!

I'll be traveling to Tokyo at the end of Aug (7 days), and I'm looking for options for internet wifi mostly. If I can get data to my phone, I won't really need call/text. Is the Wi2 in the OP (from 2012?) still viable? I checked out the site, and the area map seems littered with hotspots.

I'll be staying at KHAOSAN TOKYO LABORATORY - 2-1-4 NishiAsakusa,
Taito-ku, Tokyo. I tried to line the map on the site to the area, but it doesn't let me zoom out enough to really get a feel for the coverage map.

Would I be better served with a data only sim or a wifi hotspot? I'm on US Verizon w/ a droid turbo.

Thanks!

edit: I just did a search and it looks like Wi2 really hasn't been discussed in the thread in a long time.
