SIM PRICES IN Japan

The country of Tokyo, cherry blossoms, and ancient temples


Notes and Tips

-SIM cards can be bought from counters and official shops in the Airport. Prices are similar in other Airports too such as Kansai Airport.
- Prices in the city center are more affordable, yet still they are ratherly expensive than Asian countries average.
-Wifi are widely available everywhere in Japan, so small packages can be enough. In this case eSIMs are more advantageous for Japan and easier to purchase. Basic plans with 1GB starts from 1 USD in eSIM options
-We recommend eSIMs for Japan.

General Notes

• The information on this website is published in JUNE 2024. Updates will be stated separately in the countries where updates are made.
• Before buying an eSIM or physical SIM, ensure that your phone is UNLOCKED for different providers. If you bought your phone from a carrier through their yearly plans, checking this allowance would be wise.
• 90%  of the countries require travel documents (passport or ID) when registering SIM cards. Be prepared to provide the necessary documentation.
• Always ensure your SIM card is working before leaving the store.
• Keep in mind that some stores only accept cash or certain credit cards. You might need to change currency at the airport, which is not preferable due to the high commissions.
• Phones use three different sizes of SIM cards. Be sure that the stores provide you with 3-in-1 SIM cards.
• Generally, airports are more expensive than city centers. Compare the prices and make your decision according to your needs and budget.
