Arrange internet access as soon as your new home is confirmed.
It takes one to two weeks from application to installation and activation, so applying early is recommended.
Many people also arrange a TV box for watching Japanese channels at the same time.
Although YouTube offers plenty to watch, many families value shared television time. For people posted abroad alone, relaxing with familiar programmes can also help support emotional wellbeing.
Prices start at just RM120 per month.
Discounts are also available when paying for six months or a year upfront.
With internet costing around RM139 on average, internet and Japanese TV together can cost around RM250 a month.
Please select from the following two plans.
Plan A: 22 terrestrial and commercial BS channels.
Plan B: the full channel package, including specialist golf and anime channels, plus a smartphone and tablet app.
Pay for six months: receive 1.5 months free.
Pay for one year: receive 1.5–2.5 months free.
There is no cancellation penalty, and unused months are refunded on a monthly basis.
Internet contracts usually run for at least two years, with early cancellation requiring payment for the remaining term or a larger upfront deposit for a cancellable plan. Rakuraku TV has neither restriction.
This is helpful if you cannot be certain how long you will stay.
You can catch up later on programmes that became talking points in Japan.
Being able to watch the programmes you want at a time that suits you is a welcome feature.
This is the screen shown when the box is switched on.
One selection takes you straight to the channel list.
There is no frustrating series of screens to navigate before choosing a channel.
Our team also uses locally sold TV boxes covering Chinese- and English-language channels, but Rakuraku TV is noticeably faster.
Rakuraku TV recommends TIME dotCom’s 500 Mbps package, although we currently use Unifi’s 100 Mbps connection.
Other TV boxes can stutter or freeze, while Rakuraku TV runs smoothly. We therefore tend to use it more during heavy rain or weekends, when the internet slows down.
According to the offer available in April 2025, entering “KL不動産ご紹介” (introduced by KL Fudousan) in the red-outlined field gives you a one-month extension free of charge.
Rakuraku TV has Japanese staff and Japanese-speaking team members available, providing reassurance for installation and after-sales support.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
