Does Japan have eSIM for tourists?

Yes, Japan offers eSIMs specifically for tourists. Providers like esimjapan.net, and local Japanese carriers (e.g., NTT Docomo, Rakuten, or SoftBank) provide Japan eSIM tourist with high-speed data for short-term stays.

The best eSIM for Japan is one that provides extensive coverage, high-speed data, and ease of activation. Choose an eSIM that offers flexible plans suited to your travel duration and data needs. Look for options with seamless nationwide coverage, ensuring connectivity in both major cities like Tokyo and Osaka and rural areas like Hokkaido or Kyoto. Make sure the provider supports easy online activation before your trip for a hassle-free experience.

3. Go to your phone’s settings (Mobile/Cellular Network).
4. Scan the QR code to install the eSIM.
5. Activate the eSIM and set it as your primary data line.

Most tourist eSIMs are data-only, so you cannot make traditional phone calls. However, you can make internet-based calls using apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or LINE.

Order your eSIM 2–3 days before your trip to ensure you have time to install and test it. Many providers also allow you to schedule the activation date to coincide with your arrival in Japan.

Yes, you can activate your eSIM Japan before traveling. Most providers let you set an activation date, so it will work as soon as you land in Japan.
