Oh my gosh! This is so well-researched!! I used a pocket wifi back in 2018. I'll probably just do that the next time as well. It seems potentially more pricey, but it seems like a more straight-forward option. Great job!

When you mean sim cards slow down, you mean they become useless.

Sim cards are better Buy one for each member of your family / travel group That way you can split up when you're at like Shibuya / Shinjuku / Disney as each person may have a different interest and you can then regroup later without any problem using your chat app
