Hello Aiko-san,
It may be more strange that a Japanese answers the question which was =
asked to
non Japanese about Japan.
In general, an ISP has a roaming service which allows the users to =
access the
Internet in other countries with no or a little charge. So at first =
you had
better check whether your ISP has the service. If they have such a =
service in
Japan, you can connect some access points they provide with the users, =
without
big change of your mail soft settings.
Some major ISPs provide with no charge roaming service, for example, =
AOL, AT&T
world net or So-net (Japanese side). Most people who have same =
situation use
these ISPs.
If you will stay in Japan for short time, you may be able to utilise =
no charge
initial term of some ISPs. I don't know what condition any ISP has. =
Please
check Japanese ISPs. The AOL in Japan also has such service but you =
may have
to cancel it by phone in person when you'll go back to th! e US.
If you want to use only email access for the Internet, you can use the
smallest service by any ISP. For example, @Nifty (biggest ISP in =
Japan) has
one hour course. This course is only \250/month (not include GST). =
There must
be ISPs which have the similar condition in Japan.
As above, you have many choices.
Shigeru
