Most stations have elevators or escalators but big stations (such as Shinjuku) may be complicated. Small stations do not have elevators or escalators. ➢ Narita Express (N’EX): A convenient train from Narita Airport to Tokyo/Yokohama. It only stops at major urban stations and is more expensive than a local train, but has special facilities to lock your suitcase during the commute. Check the main page here: https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/nex/ ➢ Airport Limousine: http://www.limousinebus.co.jp/en/ This is a large bus (with luggage space underneath) that stops in major areas in the Tokyo/Yokohama area. Advantage: There is a bus available from Narita Airport to Futako-Tamagawa. ➢ Taxi: Very easy and convenient to use, but will cost a lot for a long term distance. (Example: Narita Airport to Futako-Tamagawa: 95km/170min/30,000yen; Haneda Airport to Futako-Tamagawa: 18km/46min/6,700yen) Check the rate (only in Japanese): http://www.nihon-kotsu.co.jp/taxi/fare/simulation.html ➢ Wi-Fi Hotspot Guide: https://www.gotokyo.org/en/plan/wifi-connectivity/wifi_hotspotguide.html 3 Recommended websites to check train timetables and routes: ➢ Hyperdia: http://www.hyperdia.com ➢ NAVITIME: https://transit.navitime.com/en/jp/ ➢ JR-East Train Info: http://www.jreast-app.jp/en/ (app available on App Store & Google Play) Recommended travel areas around the Tokyo / Kanagawa area: Tokyo Shibuya Shinjuku Roppongi Ginza Marunouchi Asakusa Ikebukuro Ueno Akihabara Harajuku Shijo-Mae (Toyosu Fish Market) Oshiage (Tokyo SkyTree) Kanagawa Yokohama Kawasaki Minatomirai Kamakura 4 Please use the following Japanese phrases if you need assistance. “Excuse me.

  • 210419 Testimony of Tareq Amin FINAL
    Testimony of Tareq Amin Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile Hearing on “Leading the Wireless Future: Securing American Network Technology” U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Communications and Technology April 21, 2021 Good morning, Chairmen Pallone and Doyle, Ranking Members McMorris Rodgers and Latta, and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify today on this important topic. I am Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. To start, let me say Rakuten doesn’t think of itself as a mobile operator. We are a technology company, with both Japanese and American DNA, committed to bringing the best of what the technology sector offers to advance the agility, security, and affordability of the wireless networks and services. In fact, Rakuten Mobile is its own first customer. Running on our open cloud-based Rakuten Communications Platform (or RCP), our mobile network in Japan proves that cloud-based wireless networks are no longer a vision that merits discussion. They are not just a proof of concept, they are a reality. We are driving a more diverse supply chain, with continuing innovation across multiple technologies, and providing significant consumer benefit. And, the majority of our network components come from U.S. suppliers. In today’s testimony I want to help you see through my eyes and those of our employees, executives, and customers how we decided to revolutionize mobile and wireless networks and the advantages of such an architecture for American networks. Almost seven years ago, I had an opportunity to visit the data centers of one of America’s top Internet platforms and I was shocked to see how they engineered, how they built, and how they architected their systems.

Japan Corporate Credit Spotlight Sector Comments Pages 3 - 13 Advertising Electronics Appendix IT Services Pages 14 - 16 E-Commerce Telecom And Investment Holding Companies All graphics show data for companies studied. Sector Comments Pages 3 - 13 Advertising Outlook: Negative Gradual Recovery After Temporary COVID-19 Hit Trend And Changes – Advertising revenue, which is vulnerable to economic downturns, will contract more sharply than Japan's GDP during the COVID-19 pandemic. – Digital media will likely lead a recovery thanks to cost advantages and demand for marketing data. – Companies in this study are among domestic leaders in digital advertising and media. – Competitive differences among Japan-based and overseas advertisers will not change significantly as all face similar conditions. – Future creditworthiness of the companies studied largely hinges on their financial standings. Key Assumptions – Total advertising revenue in Japan in fiscal 2021 will not recover to fiscal 2019 levels, despite the contribution from internet advertising. – Profitability of the companies studied will not recover to pre-COVID-19 levels in the coming one to two years despite cost reductions. – COVID-19's degree of impact on the companies studied will differ according to their financial health before the crisis. 4 Advertising Risks And Key Credit Drivers: – A resurgence of COVID-19 further souring advertising clients' appetites. – Priorities for use of cash flow, such as growth investments and shareholder returns, under difficult conditions.
