Best Japan eSIM Plans for UK Travellers

Why buy a eSIM Japan? You land at Narita after a 9-hour flight, ready to explore Tokyo. But your UK carrier wants £ 12 per day for roaming - that's £ 168 for two weeks! Plus you get barely 1GB daily before they throttle your speed. Thousands of UK travellers face bill shock when using their home carrier in Japan, but there's a smarter way to stay connected.

Why You Need to Buy a Prepaid Travel eSIM to Japan

Here's what roaming really costs you. Local carriers will charge you per day for international roaming. That could easily be $140 for two weeks. Run out? You're stuck. Compare that to a prepaid Japan travel SIM from Sim Corner. For half that price, you get 20GB or more of high-speed data. Run out? You're stuck. Compare that to a prepaid Japan travel SIM from Sim Corner. For half that price, you get 20GB or more of high-speed data. No daily limits. No bill shock three months later. Just straightforward connectivity that actually works when you need Google Maps in Shibuya or want to video call family from Kyoto. Roaming is a trap that catches thousands of UK travellers every year. Don't be one of them.

How to Pick the Right Prepaid Japan eSIM for Your Needs

Choosing your Japan eSIM isn't complicated when you know what to look for:

  • Data Allowance - Light users need 5-10GB, regular users want 15-20GB, heavy streamers should grab 30GB+
  • Duration of Stay - Match your plan to trip length plus a few buffer days
  • Network Coverage - Check which Japanese networks are included
  • eSIM Size - Most phones support standard eSIM profiles, older devices might need specific versions
  • SIM Expiry - Know when your plan expires to avoid losing connection unexpectedly
  • eSIM Compatibility - Confirm your phone supports eSIM (iPhone XS/XR onwards, newer Samsung models)
  • Customer Support - Can you reach help when you're actually in Japan? This matters more than you think
