🛒 Before you buy
Check your phone settings for the "eSIM" or "digital SIM" option. Most recent models (iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, etc.) are compatible. Check your model in our database of 650+ devices →
To never count (streaming, hotspot sharing, long navigation days), go for unlimited for the number of days of your trip (10 to 30 days). For classic usage: 10 GB ≈ 7 days, 20 GB ≈ 14 days, 50 GB for 2 weeks and more — all valid 30 days. And to live in Japan or go often, there's the 50 GB/month subscription.

The PlanJapan eSIM offers maximum speed (5G/4G/LTE), which may be reduced in areas with limited network coverage.
99% data coverage on the NTT docomo network: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, the slopes of Hokkaidō, the beaches of Okinawa — and even the Shinkansen at 320 km/h.
Directly in your phone settings: the eSIM line's usage shows under Cellular Data (iPhone) or Data usage (Android).
No panic: top-ups are available on the site in a few clicks, without reinstalling any eSIM. And if you often hesitate, unlimited is made for you.

In 1 click, anytime, from your subscription management email — no commitment, no justification. You keep the remaining data until the end of the current month.
🛟 Issues & guarantees
Three simple checks: your device's compatibility, a phone restart, and the network settings (eSIM profile selected for data + data roaming enabled). If the issue persists, our 7/7 support helps you within minutes.
No. Once installed, the eSIM cannot be deleted or reinstalled: deleting it means permanently losing the profile. If you have an issue or a doubt, contact us before doing anything to avoid losing service.
We refund you in full. That's our compatibility guarantee — like Romain C., refunded within days (verified review).
