eSIM for Japan
A Netcom Travel eSIM gives you mobile data in Japan from the moment you land, with no roaming bill afterwards. You install the profile at home over wifi and it connects automatically on arrival, so you can order a taxi, open your maps and check in without hunting for a local shop or an open wifi network. Bundles for Japan start at € 1,25 and are delivered by email in a few minutes.
Network and coverage in Japan
In Japan the eSIM registers on Softbank and NTT Docomo, with 4G LTE everywhere and 5G where the operator has rolled it out. Coverage is strongest around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Your phone picks the strongest signal by itself, and you never need to set an APN by hand.
Arrival and activation in Japan
Install the profile before you leave, turn on data roaming for the eSIM and keep your home SIM for calls and texts. When you switch off airplane mode after landing at Narita, Haneda and Kansai, the eSIM connects within about a minute. Japan runs on UTC+9, and the validity counter follows local operator time.
