Free Mobile Data Service: povo Data Oasis

Starting April 14, 2026, KDDI Corporation, in collaboration with the PASMO Association and PASMO Co., will launch a special service named 'povo Data Oasis'. This initiative aims to provide users with free data allowances, exclusively for those utilizing povo2.0 mobile services, at specific railway stations across the Kanto region, including Tokyo Metro, Keisei Electric Railway, and Sagami Railway.

Overview of the Service

The pioneering offering will allow customers to receive 0.1GB of data (valid for 24 hours) at participating stations, with a limit of one redemption per day and a maximum of ten times per month. Frequently visited commuter and recreational stations will become accessible points for users to conveniently acquire extra mobile data. This service is designed to enhance mobile connectivity during commutes or leisure travels, ensuring a seamless experience when utilizing the mobile PASMO.

As part of the phased rollout, the service will expand to additional lines and stations by autumn 2026, further strengthening its reach and user accessibility. The targeted stations encompass all stations served by:

• - Tokyo Metro (Ginza Line, Marunouchi Line, Hibiya Line, Tozai Line, Chiyoda Line, Yurakucho Line, Hanzomon Line, Namboku Line, and Fukutoshin Line)
