What about a local SIM on arrival?
It tends to be cheap in money and expensive in time: a counter, your passport, an APN to configure, all in the local language, right off the plane. An eSIM is installed from home and the airport stops being an errand. For a long trip on a very tight budget a local SIM can pay off; for one or two weeks, almost never.
How much does an eSIM for Japan cost?
From €2.90 (7 days with 1 GB). The price is final, in euros, with no charges on arrival.
Is it worth it compared with roaming?
With the published daily rates (€3.00–€3.00 per day), a few days of travel already cost more than the whole eSIM.
Does the Japan eSIM come with a phone number?
No: it's data only. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS, and WhatsApp keeps working with your usual number.
