I've been renting pocket wifi units the past few times I've visited Japan and have always turned down the external battery pack but have also been vigilant about charging the unit when I get back to my hotel.

I have been using
Wi-Fi Rental Store the past few times, opting for one of the SoftBank units when my trips have involved being the cities and the au unit when we were on rural Iriomote island. I arrange for the units to be mailed to the first hotel I'm staying at and drop them off at a mailbox at the airport while on my way out of the country.
