Choosing unlimited data for Japan

Train changes, translation, maps and bookings all use data. Start with the length of your Japan trip, then compare the speed and hotspot terms above.

Up to 10Mbps or full speed?

Japan has a capped 10Mbps range and a full-speed range with no plan-level speed cap. Actual speeds depend on the local network, your phone, location and congestion.

Sharing data with another device

Hotspot terms depend on your selected plan. Local KDDI unlimited plans have a separate hotspot allowance across the whole trip, shown with each duration. Other full-speed and capped-speed options have their own hotspot terms. Check your selected plan before buying.

Unlimited plans and day passes

Day passes have a stated high-speed allowance each day, with their own reset and reduced-speed terms. You’ll find those alongside fixed data on the regular Japan eSIM page.

Before you travel

Choose a plan long enough for your trip, check its start window and use Phone Check to confirm eSIM support. Save your setup email before leaving. Land, join airport Wi-Fi, then follow the setup email. If airport Wi-Fi is unavailable, use hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection.
