What is an eSIM and how does it work in Japan?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card embedded in your device. After purchasing, you receive a QR code by email. Scan it to install the Japan eSIM profile — no physical SIM required. Your device connects to local Japanese networks automatically when you land.
Does the eSIM work across all of Japan?
Yes! The AloOui Japan eSIM works nationwide — Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Hokkaido, Okinawa, and beyond — wherever local network coverage is available.
Which plan is best for digital nomads in Japan?
We recommend the Unlimited Plus plan for digital nomads and remote workers. Its Max Priority 4G LTE ensures the fastest, most reliable connection for video calls, uploads, and working from co-working spaces across Tokyo and Osaka.
Is my phone compatible with AloOui eSIM?
Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3 and later, and many others. Check your device settings or manufacturer website to confirm eSIM compatibility.
Can I keep my existing number while using the Japan eSIM?
Yes! Your AloOui eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM. You can keep your home number active for calls and texts while using the Japan eSIM for data — no need to choose between them.
When does my plan start?
Your plan activates when you first connect to a Japanese network — not when you install the eSIM. So you can install it before you travel and it won't start counting until you arrive in Japan.
Are the prices shown final?
Prices shown in this article are indicative and subject to change. Please visit the Japan eSIM product page for the most current and accurate pricing before purchasing.
