It’s built for users who require top-tier performance around the clock without fear of hitting a data cap. Note: As with most unlimited plans, a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) applies, typically allowing a very substantial amount of high-speed data per day (e.g., 20GB-30GB or more) before speeds may be temporarily managed for network fairness, resetting each day.

• Massive Tethering Capacity: The inclusion of an impressive 14GB for tethering is a significant advantage, providing more than enough data to reliably share your high-speed connection with several devices or travel partners throughout your extended stay. It's an indispensable feature for families, small groups, or individuals needing to keep laptops, tablets, or other Wi-Fi devices connected for remote work, entertainment, or shared navigation.

• Perfect for Extended Itineraries: A 15-day validity period is ideal for a comprehensive, multi-city, or multi-region exploration of Japan, allowing ample time for deep dives into culture, extensive scenic travel, or a balanced mix of business and leisure without any connectivity concerns.

• Fast Setup, Immediate Connection: As a purely digital service, activation is instantaneous. You receive a QR code via email immediately after purchase. This eliminates the need to search for local SIM card stores, navigate potential language barriers, or physically swap SIM cards, ensuring you are connected the moment you arrive.

• Backed by KDDI's Premier Network: KDDI is one of Japan's foremost telecommunication providers, renowned for its extensive network coverage, cutting-edge 4G/5G infrastructure, and unwavering service quality.² You can confidently rely on this eSIM to deliver strong, consistent performance across all major urban centers, popular tourist destinations, and essential travel corridors throughout Japan.

• Maintain Your Home Number: Since the eSIM installs digitally, your primary physical SIM remains securely in your phone. This crucial feature allows you to keep your home phone number active for receiving important two-factor authentication codes, essential calls, or personal texts, all while dedicating the eSIM for your extensive data requirements.

How to Activate the KDDI Japan eSIM

Activating your KDDI Japan eSIM is a quick, three-step digital process that can be conveniently completed from home or your hotel (ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection for initial installation):

1. Purchase and Receive QR Code: After completing your purchase, your unique eSIM QR code and detailed installation instructions will be sent instantly to your email address.

2. Install the eSIM Profile: On your eSIM-compatible smartphone (e.g., iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer, Google Pixel 3 series and newer), navigate to your Cellular/Mobile Settings. Select the option to "Add Cellular Plan" or "Add eSIM" and use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code from your email.

3. Activate Data Roaming at Destination: Once installed, the profile will download. Assign a clear, travel-friendly name to the eSIM (e.g., "Japan KDDI Pro Max"). Crucially, upon arrival in Japan, switch your primary data line to this newly installed KDDI eSIM and ensure Data Roaming is turned ON for this specific line in your phone settings to activate the 15-day service period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does "Unlimited internet at max speed" mean, and what is the Fair Usage Policy (FUP)?

"Max speed" means you will access the fastest available 4G or 5G speeds on the KDDI network, depending on your device and location. "Unlimited" guarantees you won't be cut off due to data volume. However, a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is in place to ensure network stability and fair access for all users. This policy typically provides a very generous daily allowance of high-speed data (e.g., 20GB-30GB or more). If this daily threshold is exceeded, speeds may be temporarily managed (reduced) until the next 24-hour cycle begins, at which point full speeds are automatically restored. This ensures continuous, high-quality service.

Is my smartphone compatible with this eSIM?

This eSIM is compatible with most modern, unlocked smartphones that support eSIM technology. This includes iPhone XS/XR and later models, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer, and Google Pixel 3 series and newer.3 It is vital to verify your specific device's eSIM capability and ensure it is unlocked before making a purchase.

Does the eSIM include a local phone number or calling minutes?

This KDDI Japan eSIM is exclusively designed for data and tethering services. It does not come with a permanent local Japanese phone number for making or receiving traditional calls or SMS messages. For voice communication, users should rely on popular internet-based calling and messaging applications such as WhatsApp, LINE, Skype, FaceTime, or similar services, utilizing the provided high-speed data connection.

What happens if I use all 14GB of tethering data?

Once the 14GB tethering allowance has been fully utilized, the tethering functionality will either cease to work or its speed will be significantly reduced for the remaining duration of the 15-day validity period. Importantly, the main device's unlimited max speed data will continue to function according to the FUP, without being affected by the exhaustion of the tethering allowance. This plan does not offer direct options to top-up the tethering data.
