Fixed data validity is counted in 24-hour blocks (e.g., 3 days = 72 hours).
Japan travel eSIM guide
Japan eSIM plans for tourists, trains and heavy data use
Choosing an eSIM for Japan usually comes down to the local network, high-speed data allowance, hotspot, validity and activation timing. Unlike a physical SIM card or pocket Wi-Fi, an eSIM can be installed by QR code before departure; current BambooSIM Japan plans are data-only and keep the live network, mobile-data and hotspot terms close to checkout.
Product facts worth comparing
- Plan choices
- Unlimited data, fixed-data and one-time bundle options are available; choose enough validity and high-speed data for the whole itinerary.
- KDDI/au network
- Unlimited and one-time KDDI plans connect directly through KDDI/au with a Japan IP and do not require data roaming. Check the selected plan for its exact network.
- QR setup and activation
- Install before departure on Wi-Fi. The plan activates on its first supported network connection in Japan and must be activated within 180 days of purchase.
- Hotspot
- Hotspot is supported where the selected plan lists an allowance; unlimited on-device data does not mean unlimited tethering.
- Phone number
- BambooSIM Japan plans are data-only and do not include a Japanese carrier phone number. Use LINE, WhatsApp or another data-based calling app.
