Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Japan

Nomad does not provide a genuinely unlimited high‑speed data plan for Japan. The plans titled “Local Japan – … unlimited” are limited to 2GB of high‑speed data per day and then throttle speed after the daily allowance is met. For travelers who need more data without daily limits, Nomad offers fixed‑data options such as the Japan 50 GB 45 days plan at $57.00 USD and the Japan 20 GB 45 days plan at $25.00 USD. These fixed data plans may be more cost effective unless the user requires unlimited data usage.

Nomad does not currently sell Japan eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The available plans are data‑only, and travelers can still communicate by using VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

Nomad lists 10 single‑country plans that cover Japan only and 26 multi‑country plans that include Japan among their network reach. The available plans range in price from $4 to $170, with data caps from 1 GB up to 50 GB and validity periods from 3 to 365 days. Within these offerings, four plans apply a daily data cap while the remaining thirty‑two provide a fixed total data allowance, so travelers can choose between a consistent daily usage limit or a set amount of data for the entire validity period.
