Japan Travel eSIM is better than Pocket WiFi Rentals
First time travelers
Whether you are a first timer to Japan or whether you a frequent traveler, you should get a Japan Travel eSIM when going to Japan. Getting an eSIM is an easy option as it allows you to connect to the local Japanese cellular networks without paying for roaming data.
eSIM is better than Pocket Wifi
An eSIM is a better option than pocket WIFI rentals, as there is no need to carry a second device, another charger and there is no device return process. With a NorthSIM Japan eSIM you do not need to pre-book (unlike a pocket WIFI) and you don’t need to pick it up (or drop it off) at an airport. This is not true for pocket WIFI rentals where you need to find the kiosk at the airport and fill in many documents proving your identity and paying a rental deposit bond.
The NorthSIM Japan Travel eSIM can be bought any time before you fly to Japan. It instantly arrives in your email once the checkout is completed. All you have to do is connect to a WIFI network (it can even be airport WIFI) and scan the QR code. The data packages included are very generous and easily beat any pocket WIFI rental rate.
