As the other reviewer mentioned setup was a bit tedious with having to manually configure a connection on android. but it worked perfectly as soon as I landed in Japan. 50GB for €22 was a great deal for my 3 weeks Japan.
Hotspot worked also and I had good data connection all around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
Just to make others aware. attached is a sample of the setup process that has to be followed, it seems daunting at first but it was easy enough to setup.
Very good experience. I had a consistent connection during all my stay. The speed was good, and the latency was low thanks to the internet breakouts being in Japan.
The hotspot is working after setting up the APN as documented in their guide.
The price is pretty good given the good speed and low latency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does WG JAPAN eSIM offer unlimited data eSIM for Japan?
WG JAPAN eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data plan for Japan. The plans labeled as “Unlimited” actually apply a 3GB/day limit; after that amount is used the speed is throttled to 200kbps. Travelers who need higher data caps can choose from a set of fixed‑data options. For example, the 100GB plan available for 31 days costs $49.99 USD, and the 50GB plans, available for 15 or 31 days, cost $25.99 USD and $29.99 USD, respectively. Selecting a fixed data plan often delivers better value for most users, unless one expects to consume data well beyond the handful of gigabytes included in the daily‑limit plan.
Does WG JAPAN eSIM offer Japan eSIM with phone number and SMS?
WG JAPAN eSIM does not provide a phone number or SMS capability on its eSIM plans for Japan. All available plans are data‑only, meaning that they grant internet access but do not include a local Japanese phone number or the ability to send or receive text messages.
Users who need voice or messaging can still use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection provided by the eSIM, allowing calls and messages without a traditional phone number.
How many data plans does WG JAPAN eSIM offer for Japan?
WG JAPAN eSIM currently offers 13 single-country data plans specifically for Japan. These plans range in price from $1.99 to $49.99 and provide data allowances between 500MB and 100GB. Several plans offer a daily data cap, while others provide a fixed data amount for the duration of the plan. Plans are valid for between 2 and 31 days. They do not currently offer multi-country plans for this region. Some plans may experience reduced speeds after reaching a certain data usage threshold.
