The moment you arrive in Japan, you’ll need internet access—to contact your hotel, use translation apps, navigate maps, and more. If you haven’t booked a Pocket WiFi or SIM card in advance, you may find yourself struggling with overpriced airport WiFi or having difficulty finding a SIM card. Even if you’ve reserved one, you’ll still need to pick it up, and swapping a SIM card comes with the risk of losing your original one.
This is where eSIM becomes the ultimate solution for hassle-free connectivity. With just a few taps, you can activate your eSIM and get online within minutes—no physical SIM card required! Simply purchase an eSIM and activate it upon arrival in Japan for instant internet access.

Follow the provider’s instructions to complete your eSIM purchase. Typically, you’ll need to provide basic information and payment details.
Step 2: Receive Your eSIM Details
After purchasing, you’ll receive an activation code or QR code via email or through the provider’s website/app. Scan the QR code or enter the details manually in your device settings to activate your eSIM.

Once activated, connect to the network and enjoy seamless internet access throughout Japan.
