eSIM for Tokyo
Your days start when you land, not when you pay
- Installs in minutes
- Keep your number
- Hotspot included
- No roaming fees
- Secure payment with Stripe
Tokyo is dense, vertical and signposted largely in Japanese, and its rail network is the thing visitors most often need help with in real time. Public Wi-Fi exists but is patchy and usually wants a sign-up first, which is not what you want while standing in a station concourse.
Most of your data here goes on maps and transit routing — which line, which exit, which platform — plus a translation app pointed at menus and signs. Tokyo pairs easily with Kyoto or Osaka, and the same eSIM keeps working the whole way.
This is an eSIM for Japan. It works everywhere in the country, Tokyo included — there is no Tokyo-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Japan plans

Frequently asked questions
Is this eSIM only for Tokyo?
No. It is an eSIM for Japan, and it works across the whole country, Tokyo included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Tokyo instead of losing data at the edge of town.
Will my phone work with the Tokyo eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Tokyo eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Tokyo eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network in Tokyo, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the Tokyo eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Tokyo eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps, and apps keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Tokyo?
Yes, all our Tokyo plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in Tokyo?
You can buy a new plan for Tokyo at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the Tokyo eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
