A prepaid eSIM for Japan travel, ideal for tourists, business trips, and short stays, with access to SoftBank local networks. Supports pre-installation before departure so you can get online soon after arrival.

Our Japan prepaid eSIM runs on SoftBank's 5G and 4G LTE network, one of Japan's three major national carriers, and the network most commonly recommended for travelers.

SoftBank vs. other Japan eSIM providers: Many popular eSIM apps (including major international brands) route traffic through virtual operators that share SoftBank or KDDI bandwidth at a lower priority. Our eSIM connects directly to SoftBank's network, which is why travelers report more consistent speeds, especially for long navigation sessions and during rush hour.

How to Choose a Plan

7GB / 7 DaysPerfect for a quick Tokyo weekend, a 5-day Golden Route visit (Tokyo → Kyoto → Osaka), or any trip under one week. 7GB covers daily Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram, and translation apps for up to 7 days without running short.

15Gb / 15 DaysThe most flexible plan for standard Japan holidays. Whether you're doing a 10-day JR Pass trip or spending two weeks between Tokyo and Okinawa, 15GB gives you comfortable headroom for navigation, social media, and occasional hotspot sharing.

20GB / 20 DaysBuilt for extended trips, multi-city itineraries, or travelers who share hotspots regularly. 20GB across 20 days averages 1GB per day, enough for heavy daily use without hitting a wall.

How Much Data Do You Need?

Navigation & Maps Light usage — roughly 50–150 MB per hour depending on map loading and route updates.

Messages & Email Very light for text only, but sending photos, voice messages, and attachments uses noticeably more data.

Social Media Moderate to heavy — browsing feeds and uploading photos can consume several hundred MB per day.

Video & Streaming Heavy usage — short-form video and HD streams consume data quickly. Choose a larger plan if you watch frequently.

Hotspot Sharing Usage depends on connected devices. Choose a larger plan if sharing with a laptop or other phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Japan eSIM include calls and texts?

This is a data-only eSIM. It does not include a local Japanese phone number, outbound calls, or SMS messaging. For most travelers, this is not a limitation. You can make voice and video calls using WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Meet, LINE, or Zoom over a data connection. WhatsApp and LINE also support text messaging without a local number.

What is the best Japan eSIM for tourists?

For tourists visiting Japan, the best eSIM combines reliable coverage, realistic data allowances, and easy setup. Our Japan prepaid eSIM runs on SoftBank 5G, one of Japan's three major national carriers, which means a strong signal in cities, underground rail stations, and popular tourist destinations like Kyoto, Hakone, and Okinawa. For a standard 7-day trip, the 10GB plan is the most popular choice. For short visits (3–5 days), the 5GB plan is sufficient for maps, messaging, and social media. Both plans support hotspot sharing and require no app installation, just scan the QR code.

Does this eSIM support 5G in Japan?

Yes. This eSIM supports 5G connectivity on SoftBank's network in 5G-compatible areas across Japan, including central Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and other major urban areas.

How do I choose the right plan?

For short trips or light usage, a smaller plan is enough. If you plan to use social media, video calls, hotspot sharing, or travel for longer, choose a larger plan.
