Frequently asked questions

If you still have questions about this service? We are here to help

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.

eSIMs are more convenient as they can be activated instantly, even before arriving in Japan. However, if you need a Japanese phone number for calls or SMS, a physical SIM may be better. For most tourists who only need data, eSIMs are the preferred option.

You cannot typically purchase an eSIM card Japan at the airport. However, you can buy and activate an eSIM online in minutes before or after your arrival. Physical SIM cards are available at airport kiosks.

Most tourist eSIMs are data-only and do not include a Japanese phone number. If you need a local number, consider a physical SIM or an eSIM plan with voice/SMS capabilities.

1. Purchase an eSIM plan from providers like Airalo, holafly, or a local Japanese carrier.
2. Receive the QR code via email or app.
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.

Yes, WhatsApp works seamlessly with an eSIM in Japan. You can use it for messaging, voice calls, and video calls as long as you have an active internet connection.
