Wi-Fi in Ginza would be very convenient\u201d<br \/>\nThe district meeting for the Annual Meetings of the IMF and World Bank that will soon be held in Tokyo ended with talk of starting a G Free (Ginza District Free Public Wireless LAN) program. <br \/>\nWith free Wi-Fi, foreign tourists who are charged high communications fees can easily send and receive information. <br \/>\nBased on the idea that a free Wi-Fi system in Ginza should be accessible to \u201canyone, anywhere, free of cost,\u201d it was decided that the service would start with the area along Ginza-dori from Ginza 1-Chome to 8-Chome as a free Wi-Fi area. <br \/>\nOn Ginza-dori, which is closed to traffic to become a pedestrian paradise on weekends and holidays, anyone can link to the world and send and receive information for free, without a password. <br \/>\nG Free is the longest free Wi-Fi zone setup along one street in Japan. <br \/>\nThroughout history, Ginza has been an area that is always actively pursuing new endeavors. With G Free, it has added even more brilliance, and has taken a step forward to becoming a truly international area that will also please tourists visiting from overseas.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"glogo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/..\/wp-content\/themes\/ginzaofficial\/townguide\/img\/gfree_logo.png\" alt=\"G Free Logo\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">G Free Logo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/..\/wp-content\/themes\/ginzaofficial\/townguide\/img\/gfree_photo.jpg\" alt=\"Commemoration ceremony at the Ginza Matsuya for the start of services on September 30.\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Commemoration ceremony at the Ginza Matsuya for the start of services on September 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GFree WiFi G Free(Ginza District Free Public Wireless LAN) The free Wi-Fi service \u201cG Free\u201d was terminated on J &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/townguide\/gfree\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":55,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30733,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions\/30733"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/55"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginza.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
