■About the communication services provided by the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau for tourists visiting Japan

The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau has been providing free public Wi-Fi, "Osaka Free Wi-Fi (OFW)," since January 2014, and it has been used by many tourists visiting Osaka, including foreign tourists.
Furthermore, starting in October 2024, with the cooperation of Wire and Wireless Co., Ltd., Osaka Free Wi-Fi will provide "Osaka Free Wi-Fi OpenRoaming," which is compatible with "OpenRoaming" [3], an international standard authentication system that is being increasingly adopted in Europe, the United States, and Japan, with the aim of expanding and improving the convenience of OFWs.
In addition to OFW, which is a spot service, we also offer "Osaka eSIM," which has wide area coverage and can be used easily while on the move. With many tourists expected to visit Osaka with the Osaka-Kansai Expo, we will work to improve the satisfaction of tourists visiting Osaka by providing a comfortable and seamless communications environment.
