How it works
A subscription, charged every month.
1Today: you subscribe
The first month is charged today. Your eSIM arrives by email: install it once, and it switches on when you land in Japan.
2Every month, on the same date
The payment comes back on the same date, and your monthly GB land on the same eSIM: nothing to reinstall, nothing to scan.
3You head home: you cancel
Online, in seconds, from your account. No more payments; your eSIM stays active until the end of the month already paid.
Payments and cancellation
When am I charged?
On the day you order, then every month on the same date, until you cancel.
How do I cancel?
Online, from your account: use the “Manage my subscription” link on this page or in your delivery email. Sign in with your email address, then cancel: no further payments, no fees, no minimum term.
I'm staying less than a month: is this for me?
No. Get the travel eSIM: you pay once, for the length of your trip, with no renewal.
How do my 50 GB work?
You get 50 GB a month, reset at the start of each billing period, on the same eSIM. Need more? 10 or 20 GB top-ups are available anytime, on top of your subscription.
Do I need to reinstall an eSIM every month?
No: one eSIM, installed once. It stays active as long as your subscription runs, and each month's GB arrive on it.

Very happy. When I arrived in Tokyo I couldn't activate my eSIM because of a mistake on my end. I contacted PlanJapan on WhatsApp. Quick, efficient reply. Thanks a lot. No hesitation in recommending them.

This is my second trip to Japan with PlanJapan and I'm just as happy as the first time! The team responds quickly whenever we run into installation trouble or have questions, and the network works just as well in the cities as in the countryside. I can only recommend them!

I used the unlimited eSIM for 15 days. Nothing to fault — I was also able to reach the team easily about a slow connection and everything was sorted out quickly.

PlanJapan has a wonderful team who stay available for any problem. The eSIM is delivered within minutes. Top-notch customer service. Friends who went to Japan only had good things to say. And with no incentive at all, I'm doing the same. You can trust them.
