Your stress-free travel begins with the right SIM solution for home-like connectivity abroad. The highlights of SimCorner’s prepaid SIM card Japan plans are as follows:
🔹Japan SIM Card | 1-50GB, 7-45 Days
Japan Travel SIM Card: Customised to your data needs, this data-only Japan travel SIM lets you choose between 3GB to 30GB variants for 30 days. It also offers a 7-day variant of 1GB for very short trips, or a 50GB variant for longer stays of 45 days.
🔹Japan Unlimited Data SIM | Truly Unlimited, 15/31 Days
Japan SIM Card Unlimited Data: No data caps or throttle limits—hidden or spoken. This is your best SIM card for Japan if you want purely unlimited high-speed data. With two validity variants of 15 and 31 days, roam freely on KDDI Japan 4G/5G networks.
🔹Japan SIM | 15GB, 180 Days
Prepaid Japan SIM Card: With 6 months' validity, this is a perfect Japan SIM card for tourists planning an extended stay. This SIM does not come with any calls or texts, but there is no daily download limit on the 15GB data offered and nor is there on the supported hotspot.
🔹Japan SIM Card Unlimited Data | Unlimited, 33 Days
Japan Tourist Docomo SIM Card: This Japanese SIM card comes with a limit of 10GB per 3 days, and later unlimited at 250kbps. It is best-suited for travellers who have heavy data needs, but not so much as our unrestricted unlimited data plan.
Why You Need to Buy a Prepaid Travel SIM Card for Japan
When travelling to another country, especially for more than a few days, it becomes important to consider whether you should move ahead with roaming from your home provider or opt for a more travel-friendly option like SimCorner.
♾️ Unlimited Data: Rarely are any unlimited plans provided with roaming—usually none.
SimConer has truly unlimited data plans at a cost lower than roaming.
💲 Price and Duration: Roaming rates are charged daily, except for some short-term prepaid plans, depending on your provider, so any travel above 5-6 days is expensive.
SimCorner charges all prepaid local rates, making it quite affordable for both short-term and long-term durations.
🚨 Hidden Charges: Once you exhaust your data allowance, roaming will keep on topping you up, resulting in heavy bills after your travel.
Pricing with SimCorner is upfront—pay once and never incur additional charges.
✅ Plan Flexibility: Roaming plan choices are restricted to a few, mostly a single plan in many cases.
You can choose the plan that fits your requirements with SimCorner.
It is best to never travel abroad by roaming with your home provider, or even expensive SIMs at airport kiosks. SimCorner clearly outperforms roaming to be the provider of your best SIM card for Japan.
