I powered up my Notebook at Narita and was really happy to see that the airport's wireless lan connection supported GRIC global roaming which is the roaming service that my ISP Global Online supports. I was ready to use the net for free but the GRIC system didn't accept my password! What's more the instructions for GRIC were only in Japanese which is not very friendly for those who can't read it. After fiddling around for few minutes I signed up for 1 day access (for 1000yen!) with BizPortal which worked flawlessly.
The worst part is that you can't even access GRICs homepage unless you can log on to figure out what is wrong.
