Do not buy the Clearance esim. It's not mentioned on the website, but it's routed through Hong Kong. The connection is very bad and 5G seems capped at slow speeds. I had issues keeping a consistent connection and ended up buying a MobiMatter esim that has worked flawlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does EscapeSIM offer unlimited data eSIM for Japan?
EscapeSIM does not provide any unlimited data eSIM plans for Japan. Travelers interested in larger data allowances can choose from a selection of fixed‑data plans. For instance, the CMLink Japan 50GB plan offers 50 GB of 5G data for 30 days at roughly $33.24 USD, while the Japan And Korea 30GB plan gives 30 GB of 5G data for 30 days at about $21.83 USD.
