Japan rewards the connected traveller, and an eSIM has you online the second you step off at Narita or Haneda. Navigate the neon crossings of Shibuya, ride the Shinkansen to the temples of Kyoto, hunt down ramen counters in Osaka, and time your trip to the cherry blossoms of spring or the fiery maples of autumn. With live transit apps, translation and restaurant reservations all running on data, staying online turns Japan's famously complex logistics into something effortless.

Networks & coverage in Japan
Japan has some of the world's most reliable mobile coverage. You'll get fast 4G/5G across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and every major city, along the entire Shinkansen network, and even in most subway stations and long rail tunnels. From the big cities to the whole rail network, your phone locks onto Japan's fast networks automatically, connecting to the best available carrier wherever you are.

How much data for Japan?
Maps & messaging
≈ 0.5 GB / day
+ Social media & photos
≈ 1 GB / day
+ Streaming & video calls
≈ 2–3 GB / day
Japan travel is data-light for maps but heavy if you share it. A week split between Tokyo and Kyoto sits comfortably on 7–10 GB, while two weeks adding Osaka, Hokkaido and day trips is better with 15–20 GB. Hyperdia-style transit apps, Google Translate's camera and constant photo backups add up faster than you'd think, so lean toward the higher figure if you post as you go.
eSIM Japan — Frequently asked questions
Yes. Japanese carriers cover the bullet-train lines and underground stations exceptionally well, including the Tokyo and Osaka subways, so you can stream and navigate between stops without interruption.
No — an eSIM replaces pocket WiFi entirely. Nothing to collect at the airport, nothing to return, no spare battery to carry, and you can still tether a laptop or a travel companion through your hotspot.
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. No physical card needed — just scan a QR code from your email or My eSIMs section to activate your plan instantly.
Compatibility
iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+ and most phones from 2018 onwards support eSIM. Go to Settings → About — if you see an EID number, you are compatible.
Yes — our plans are data only. Your regular SIM stays active for calls and SMS. You stay reachable on your usual number while your eSIM handles data abroad.
Most phones store up to 5-10 eSIM profiles but only one can be active for data at a time. You can switch between them anytime in your phone settings.
Data & Plans
Your plan starts at your first network connection at destination — not at purchase. Install at home, travel freely, your days only count when you actually use it abroad.
Yes — all our plans include hotspot at no extra cost. Share your connection with your laptop or tablet directly from your phone settings.
Single country plans work in one country only. If you visit multiple destinations, check our regional plans — Europe covers 33 countries, Asia 20, Worldwide 118 and more.
Yes — you can top up your plan at any time from My eSIMs. Important: top up before your plan expires, as top-ups cannot be applied to expired plans.
Installation
After purchase, find your QR code in your confirmation email or in My eSIMs. Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM → Scan QR code. You need WiFi for installation.
Install it before you leave — it only needs WiFi. Switch it as your data line only when you arrive at your destination. Your plan starts automatically at first local network connection.
Yes — enable data roaming for your eSIM Agora line in Settings → Mobile Data → select your eSIM → Data Roaming on. Without this, your eSIM cannot connect to local networks abroad.
Make sure you are on WiFi. Each QR code works only once — if already scanned, go to My eSIMs to reinstall. Still not working? Contact us at support@esimagora.com and we will fix it quickly.
Payment & Support
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Google Pay. All payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Completely — Stripe handles all payments and is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. We never store your card details. Every transaction is SSL encrypted.
First check: is data roaming enabled? Is the right eSIM selected for data? If yes and still not working, email us at support@esimagora.com — we respond within 24 hours.
Unlimited Data
You get a set amount of high-speed data each day (e.g. 1 GB/day). Once you've used that daily quota, you keep browsing at reduced speed (1 Mbps) — never cut off. Every day, your high speed starts fresh.
Fixed (e.g. 5 GB/30 days): one total amount of data to manage over the whole period, at full speed until it runs out. Unlimited: a daily quota that renews, so you're never completely out. Ideal if you'd rather not track your usage, or if you're staying a while.
You switch to 1 Mbps (enough for WhatsApp, maps and browsing, but not HD streaming). It goes back to full speed the next day.
About every 24 h after your first connection (it can vary by carrier — not necessarily at midnight).
Yes — via "Add days" while it's still active (not expired). It adds days, not extra daily data.
Unlimited if: long stay, unpredictable usage, you want peace of mind. Fixed if: short stay, light or precise usage, you want the best value.
