Find the best eSIM for Japan
Reviews
Write a reviewIt worked well, no trouble setting up. Speed was comfortable, had no issues with this. But unfortunately, unlike advertised tethering was not possible.
DO NOT BUY AN ESIM FROM THIS COMPANY
The internet speed is 0.01Mbps, i am not kidding. I am in the middle of tokyo.
Had some trouble setting this up at first. The eSIM supports many of the major networks in japan (KDDI, NTT Docomo, SoftBank) and I had to manually force it to connect to Docomo before it would work.
On android: Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators -> disable "select automatically"
After that, it worked flawlessly.
Used the 20GB, then the unlimited plan 5 day plan when I ran out. Both worked great.
Much better than I expected for a travel eSIM. The Japan eSIM I bought from Airalo wasn't the cheapest, but latency was surprisingly good (below 40ms) even though the IP address was from USA, which probably means they are doing a local breakout. The speeds were good, more than sufficient for travel needs, and the coverage was also satisfactory.
It would have been the perfect option if the price were cheaper.
