One of the few services that has a good price AND japanese routing.
Many other services route your traffic through HongKong or another asian country to lower the cost, which gives you slow speeds/high latency.
It took me a bit to set it up since I didn't know that you have to set up the APN at first. The other review here posted a setup tutorial. But after knowing that, setting it up was easy.
After that it works flawlessly.
Data only, 4G only, fast speeds, no dead zones.
Will book again.
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 an unlimited‑data plan for Japan. Its highest‑data allowance is a 100GB plan that lasts 31 days, and it also offers 50GB and 30GB options for shorter periods. The plan titled “Unlimited eSIM for Japan｜8days” actually limits users to 3GB of high‑speed data each day; once that limit is reached the speed drops to 200 kbps. Travelers who need larger amounts of data can choose one of the fixed‑data plans, which may be more economical unless they are exceptionally heavy data users.

WG JAPAN eSIM does not offer an eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability for travel in Japan. All available plans from this provider are data‑only; a local phone number and traditional voice or SMS services are not provided. Travelers can still use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages.
