Super reliable eSIM!
Installed the eSIM prior to my departure and it connected straight away once I arrived in Japan. Reliable connection, so navigating with Google Maps was a breeze. Speed was always there - I FaceTimed family and friends on the go and the video was always crystal clear. Made my trip to Japan so much easier being able to have such a dependable connection! Will always get this eSIM when I come to Japan!

Great eSIM for nationwide Japan trip!
I had very little issues connecting to data anywhere in Japan from Himeji all the way to the summit of Mt Hakodate. The only time I had no service was on the train from Niseko to Hakodate, but otherwise it worked great and I didn't even have to use any public WiFi with the unlimited plan for my 19 day stay.

It Survived Comiket. - iPhone SE 2021
I have used esims in the past and decided to give Chris's JJesim a go since I have been watching his channel for a while. Installing was straightforward. I chose the 10 GB plan and after 10 days of intense usage I still had about 4GB left over. It does throttle sometimes at highly concentrated areas such as Shinjuku, but overall it served me very well. I would recommend the eSim to others.

Great eSIM
Going to Japan for the first time was always going to be difficult to figure out internet access. Luckily Journey Japan eSIM was there to get me through my two week journey. After a bit of a scare of the eSIM not connecting after purchase, it kicked into gear moments after the plane touched down in Kansai International. Had a few scares of connection, but all in all it was a very smooth experience and I definitely recommend this eSIM.

Outstanding
Effortless, simple and faultless. I had 5G data coverage everywhere. Highly recommended. The biggest benefit is that you no longer have to go into Starbucks.

Absolutely flawless
I've just returned from 2 weeks in Japan travelling all over the country with a group of friends. Whilst everyone else had setup and connection issues, or was paying for more than they could use, my 15 day, unlimited JJ eSIM just worked. Flawlessly. All the time. I usually use a different eSIM provider when travelling but for Japan this eSIM will always be my preference.

Very prompt customer service
I messed up activating my sim before the travel so I was quite distraught when it didn't load properly. I sent a report the moment I touched down but wasn't expecting much. The customer service replied back while I was still in the airport! Troubleshooting went through a breeze and I hadn't had a problem since. Great customer service, great range in rural areas.

Great Service
I went with the 20GB eSIM for a 2 week trip. Even though I only got 4G with it, no matter where I went, I had great service. I've always been a fan of Abroad in Japan, so when I saw Journey Japan eSIM, I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be a whole lot easier than picking up and returning a pocket wifi device at the airport. I'm glad I got it. It made the trip a lot more manageable.

Worked perfectly!
This is my first time in Japan and the sim has worked perfectly! I was overwhelmed at all the different eSims available but have been a viewer of Chris' for years so decided to give this one a go, was really easy to install and worked straight away upon landing in Japan. Yes, it's a bit more expensive but I'm happy to pay for reliability and would recommend it to anyone coming to Japan!
Ellen M
Journey Japan to the Rescue
Service from another major eSim provider dumped me out of service after 2 days; finally got into a cafe and got a Journey Japan eSim. Amazing cell service for 30 days and repurchased for my last few days in country. Thanks for the most important tool I had to pull off the honeymoon without a hitch.

Amazing support
I had an issue with the internet on a Sunday, due to a phone update, and I sent an email to support and got a reply with a solution within minutes. Also, the signal worked all trip even on crowded places.

Umazing Esim
Bought 20GB for 1 week usage however only used up 13GB for maps, translate, conversion, chat app, Instagram, YouTube and Spotify. During arrival in Japan I faced an issue with connection because my phone wasn't listed, so after a panicked email to JJEsim, within 15 minutes they replied and provided a manual network set up then all worked wonderfully. The line was stable and fast even underground and on the bullet train while my friend had constant data issues on another line. Very reliable, stable, fast, trustworthy and amazing customer service team.

Worked really well
We had 2 sims, loaded them before landing in Japan, activated them upon landing, no issues at all. Travelled Tokyo to Kyoto then up the west coast to Aomori and down the east coast to Tokyo self driving. Also up in the mountains, snow monkeys etc. Never any issues with connection and google maps. Great reliable Sim.

Unbelievably easy
We used journey japan for our first trip last year, worked as soon as we landed, the only time I didn't have signal was between Osaka and Tokyo on the Shinkansen but had such pretty views I didn't need it! Other than that it worked amazing and was so easy to set up and the signal was amazing!! We're heading back to Japan in 2027 with friends and this was the first thing we've recommended to them.

Tested 5G Unlimited for 3 weeks across Japan
I didn't have one drop out, regardless of if I was in a big city, or in the middle of nowhere. This was the first E-Sim I had used on my travels in Japan, and simply due to the reliability and speed I experienced, I could never look back. Journey will be with me every time, and I am already planning to go back. Incredible product.

Probably one of the best Esim's for Japan.
I recently just visited Japan, for three weeks, traveling from Tokyo all the way to the Fukuoka area. With the Esim from Journey Japan I didn't have to worry about being connected online, or deal with international phone plans or overcharges. Out of my group, I was the only one using a data Esim, which allowed me to have data mostly anywhere I went. Only places I didn't receive signal was in subways at random times. It's fast and reliable.

5/5
I've used UBIGI and Airalo on my previous Japan trips and decided to try the JJESIM this time around. While I was initially hesitant about the price, I found the ESIM was well worth it! The connection was perfect no matter where I was (Hokkaido, Tokyo, Osaka, Tochigi). The set up was also very easy. Definitely worth the price!
Alec Wong-Miyasato
Kaneohe, Hawaii, United States
Perfect
Went to Tokyo, the snowy mountains of Nagano, Nikko, Osaka, Kyoto, Arashiyama in the rural areas and in the city the esim worked perfectly, never once did I lose connection or did the connection slow down, it was always working and fast! And unlimited is really unlimited.

Zero Problems
Everything worked perfectly, never had to worry about connection. Easy setup. Bonus perks like the karaoke credit and more importantly, the discount towards a lost bar drink. Highly recommended.
Shaye F.

Zero issue!
Bought 3 x 20gb plans in total, when i went on my trip with my fiance and my best friend. We were in Japan for 2.5 weeks, the amount of data was perfect, did watch YouTube and Netflix, had coverage even in more remote places like Hakone/Owakudani without any issue. Easy to install, highly recommend!

80 days later, my promised review
Using an eSIM for the very first time while traveling on an 80 day trip that included cruises and time on land in Japan. The answer came from watching Abroad in Japan on YouTube. Support was excellent when I needed help setting up via a QR code while in port. Connectivity was strong nearly everywhere on land, Tokyo, Sendai, Toba, Osaka, Nagasaki and Okinawa all had 100% signal, with only brief drops far offshore or in a few remote spots. So do I recommend JJ eSIM? 100% yes. Great price, great signal, great customer support.

Seamless & very user friendly
It was the first time that I used an e-SIM, and it was incredibly easy to set up and use once we landed in Japan! We used the 20GB plan for about 16 days in Japan, and it covered all of our needs. Across Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya, we had zero issues. Highly recommend this e-SIM, especially if you can get it on a discount.

Second time in Japan, worked great along Golden Route
My partner and I just came back from a 3 week holiday along the golden route - Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kyoto, with stops at Miyajima, Kobe, Himeji and Hakone. The cellular connection, download/upload speed, and latency, were rock-solid. We had strong LTE reception everywhere except for the winding mountain roads between Odawara and Hakone-machi. Our devices were unlocked iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung Fold 7, no issues with frequency compatibilities. Cheers to the JJesim team for getting a rock solid product in the hands of Japan travel enthusiasts!

A Great eSIM Experience
Spent a month in Japan, and this esim was amazing. It was super easy to install into my Galaxy S25 plus. We went everywhere, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and even Okunoshima. It stayed steady the whole time and I never lost connection. I did the unlimited plan, which meant I could keep my family back home constantly updated and video call with them with no worries about my data running dry.
Tabby Ramsey

Solid coverage
Grabbed 2 of these esim for my trip in 2025, solid coverage in several cities and in more rural areas. The coverage was actually better than my usual UK SIM. Easy to set up too, 5 mins even after a 13hr flight.
Andrew Leach
Samsung Galaxy s25 ultra!!!
I was nervous about using an Esim but Journey Japan changed that. I had no issues with the Esim on my recent trip to Japan. Even though the S25 ultra was not on the list for compatible phones it still worked perfectly.

Excellent Esim!!
I'm a huge fan of Chris who is a really good content creator, and so when I saw this Esim offered by Japan Abroad, I knew it would be good, and it exceeded my expectations! I purchased the 20MB plan for my trip to Japan last week and not only was it easy to install but the signal was excellent throughout my trip. Never had any issues connecting. Well worth every penny spent!
E Samson

Exactly what I needed
Was in Japan for 3 weeks in September and worked perfectly. Travelled around a lot and always had a stable connection. Was easy to get setup as well. Would definitely use again next time I go to Japan.
Sami Al-Bermani

Simple to install, great connection everywhere
I was in Japan for 2 weeks and it was easy to install the sim. After installation you don't have to worry about it anymore. It has great coverage.
Jeroen van Duijnhoven

Tested, approved and going to be used again!
I went across the mainland for 3 weeks, west to east, in some remote locations, and the eSIM never failed. When I failed to take the right train or made some mistake in the countryside, I was able to fix my problem thanks to having a connection everywhere I went. Easy and simple to use, effective and save me headaches.
Charles P.

Very simple
Easy to use, it took less then five minutes to set up, 20 gig did me fine for three weeks and signal was consistent across Japan.
Richard Haigh
The Best eSIM for Japan - Plus Incredible Support!
The Journey Across Japan eSIM is perfect for my travels - it simply works! But what impressed me even more was their customer service. I accidentally deleted my eSIM before even arriving in Japan, and when I reached out via email, they had me taken care of the very next day. Outstanding support! Oh, and the eSIM itself? Quick, reliable, and super fast. Highly recommended!
Nathan Zee
Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan
Works everywhere
No problems with the Journey Japan Esim, easy to set up and worked right away. And we had data pretty much everywhere from the top of Mount Fuji to even Murou village. Cant recommend this Esim enough as it made travelling through Japan a lot easier.
Nadeem
City of London, England, United Kingdom
Worked perfectly for me
I pre-loaded the eSIM before leaving Canada and was a bit worried it wouldn't work, and I'd never used an eSIM before. Upon landing at Narita airport, I turned it on and had zero issues. It started working immediately. While travelling around Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hamamatsu, I never lost service unreasonably. I would use this eSIM again and would recommend it to travellers.
Cris S.
Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada
Worked like a charm!
We traveled through Japan for about 2 1/2 weeks and had perfect reception wherever we went. We also used the discount that was available at the time of booking at the LOST bar for some nice drinks. Great SIM card, great service! Please keep up the good work and quality. Will book this again in the future!
Mickey
Poplar, England, United Kingdom
Convenient and Reliable!
I spent weeks comparing esims from the big companies. I brought two phones to Japan, one with JJESim and one with a big name brand. It took two days to get the name brand esim to work, whereas the JJESim started working within minutes of getting off the plan at Haneda. I visited dozens of places in Japan for 30 days, and even in remote areas, the JJEsim held up. I only lost connection twice briefly, both deep in forested mountains. It's tough to think that one Youtuber can stand up to the big names, but JJESim is an excellent service and my experience was well beyond expectations.
Amy Clifton

Knew I could trust a product that Chris stands behind
I was 14 days in Japan and took the 10Gb eSim. Everything worked great and was super easy. The price is very reasonable and 10Gb was more than enough for the 14 days, as long as you leave gaming and video watching for times when you got Wifi. I knew that I could trust Chris having a high quality standard on products he vouches for.
Kristian L

No faults
Used the esim on my recent 2 week holiday in Japan. Very easy to install, thanks to the clear instructions that were emailed. I never had any issues with signal, and my phone was connected with high speed access for the entirety of the trip. Highly recommend.

Black Magic E Sim
I don't know what kind of black magic is going on, but from the moment the plane touched down in Tokyo I was instantly connected to the network and had a pretty much flawless connection the whole time I was in Japan. Even while in the middle of nowhere in Gunma still had a good enough connection to do everything i needed.
Kyle

Perfect coverage and speed
We've travelled around Japan in a group of 4 for around 2 weeks, all were using journey Japan sims - 2 on Android and 2 on iphone. Internet was available with a great speed and coverage in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Yufu and wherever else we went. In small villages and on our hike to the Yufu peak - coverage was there and working. No failures, easy activation, easy usage. Totally recommend and will definitely use again in our next trip.

Worked effortlessly
I've just got back from a 3 week trip and had no issues at all using the jjesim. It was easy to install and just worked!
Suzy

Speedy and easy
We visited Japan for three weeks, traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima, Hamamatsu to Kanazawa and Shirakawa-Go. I had a second eSIM to compare speed and was ALWAYS reverting back to Journey Japan's eSIM. I'm also a data hog and still had data left upon leaving even though I never used hotel or AirBnB provided internet.
Norma

Worked a treat!!
I picked up a JJesim on my recent visit to Japan. I ordered it the night before boarding my flight and it couldn't have been easier to set up. I was up and running before I even got off the plane at Haneda. I didn't have any issues during my visit.
Adam We
Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom
Worked well
I spent my trip in Tokyo, and the eSIM worked well the entire time, and I had plenty of data left at the end.
Nathan F
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
No hassle, reliable and easy to use.
Easy to use and it worked without any problems. Activated the day prior to arriving in Japan. After landing I turned on the eSim and it connected and immediately I had mobile data. It meant I had google maps for the hardest part of my trip: getting from Haneda into Tokyo, whilst jetlagged. For my entire trip I had a decent connection and encountered no problems. So easy to use that I'd certainly purchase again if I return to Japan.

Perfect
Just spent 3 weeks in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, middle of Disney, didn't matter, I maintained fast and consistent internet. Very impressed!
Tom Barker

Excellent product
Our group of friends all bought these esims on a recent visit to Japan. The purchase and set up was seamless and the service across the whole of Japan was brilliant. We would all highly recommend - excellent value!
Chris Cole
Derby, England, United Kingdom
Perfect coverage!
As an avid follower of AbroadInJapan, when we saw they did the entire cycleathon on just these cards, we knew it would be the right pick for us. We had zero issues the entire time - from set up to even the busiest areas we always had solid connections to navigate, research, translate, and even call home to see our toddler. 10/10 would recommend.
JW

Japan Trip Made so much easier
Thank god for having this e-sim. Without it, navigating this foreign country would have been way more difficult than it needed to be.
Steven B
Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
Easy to use!
Consistant coverage in Tokyo, stable connections and uploaded plenty of photos. Only regret is when I went to Lost Bar and it was full to capacity and didn't have time to get my discounted cocktail. Oh well, perhaps next time! Oh, and you might have to reset your connection when you land.
Steve Wenzel
Rosalie Plains, Queensland, Australia
Excellent eSim!
I grabbed this eSim for my two week trip to japan. While i mainly stayed in Tokyo I ventured to the sendai area and it never failed, it was awesome! I have an iPhone 13 and everything just worked perfectly.
Eric Curtis
Anniston, Alabama, United States
Better than Japanese carrier, no problems
This was my 4th time travelling to Japan, earlier times with portable wifi but now with eSIM from Journey Japan. It is much better and much more convenient with an eSIM than with portable Wifi. The only time I didn't get a signal was deep in the Okinawan subtropical rainforest. On multiple occasions, I shared my data via hotspot with my partner. I used the 10Gb plan for 2 weeks. Very good, very convenient, quick, reliable, easy set-up with clear instructions. Will use it again and strongly recommend it!
Mikael
Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden
Convenient eSim that actually works in the middle of the mountains
Spent two weeks in Japan over Easter break, travelling the mountainous regions around Nagoya, Kiso Valley, Matsumoto and Nagano, before heading to Kanazawa. Had no issues with connectivity what so ever! Went for the 20 GB plan and that was more than enough for my usage. The fact that I could activate the eSIM before boarding my plane in Finland so that it was ready when I arrived in Nagoya was fantastic. Definitely my choice of data sim for my next planned trip to the north of Japan!
Camilla J.R.
Moss, Ostfold, Norway
Seamless!
First timer visiting Japan here - would highly recommend! I could purchase it prior to leaving and just simply activate it once I landed in Japan. I was in Japan for a total of 6 weeks and first bought the 20GB which lasted about 2 weeks. The remainder of my trip, I bought the 50GB which was plenty. FANTASTIC coverage from Tokyo, Hakone, Kanazawa, Hokkaido, Yokohama and small cities in between - I NEVER had even a dip in coverage. Easy peasy set-up.
Casey
Connelly Springs, North Carolina, United States
Simple, reliable, fair price
I bought the 30 gig data plan as I always worry about using too much data and getting stuck. Overall I had reliable LTE coverage in Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Fujikawaguchiko, Tokyo, and China with plenty of data. My only nitpick is the lack of 5g even in areas of Tokyo.
Will S.
Lannon, Wisconsin, United States
Better than my usual connection back home
I've been watching Chris's videos for a long time, so I felt like his eSim would be good. I'm happy to say the eSim is working amazingly, the best and smoothest data connection I've had in Japan and this is my 6th time visiting. This time it has felt as good as, if not better, than my usual connection back home. Easy set up, fast speeds and stable connection. Thank you Journey Japan team and Chris!
Sarah
SIMply the best!
After using this service for 1 month I can honestly say that I have had nothing but exceptional service. As a trip enjoyer I am continuously looking for data plans from various companies. The choice I made to choose this e-sim company is definitely one I will be making again the next time I am coming to Japan!
Max
Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan
Reliable and customer friendly service
I am travelling in Japan for a few months and heard about this esim from my partner. So far I've had perfect coverage everywhere I've went. This includes Osaka, Kyoto and very remote parts of Shikoku where I've gone hiking. I also had a bit of trouble activating the esim in the beginning and I received an answer the same day. In summary, I've been very happy with it so far.
Annika Behnke
Just what is says on the tin.
The Journey Japan eSim was easy to download, easy to set up, and provided seamless coverage for my trip from the moment we arrived at Haneda. Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka all had top-tier coverage! And that discounted cocktail at Lost was all the sweeter. Thanks, JJ Team!
Duane R.
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
Easy, affordable, trustable
Using this for my first personal trip outside the US, seeing Japan for the first time and a college friend for the first time in a decade or so. I was glad to see the team had worked to put together such a straightforward service. It makes me feel confident in being able to connect with my friend on arrival and to access the needed services during my trip.
Josh
Lafayette, Indiana, United States
Easy to use ESIM
I recently purchased this eSIM for my 19 year old son who is on his second trip to Japan with his friends for two weeks. The first time we visited Japan in 2023 we used a portable wifi which was perfect but a bit of a faff carrying it around and recharging. So we decided to go the eSIM route this time. Purchased the 20GB plan, he connected easily and had no issues with using the internet etc. However, as there is no wifi at the air BnB he quickly used up the data in 4 days, so I've had to repurchase a second eSIM upgrading to the 50gb. In any event, the eSIM has been great and I would use it again for future trips.
Bee
Bracknell, England, United Kingdom
Simple, quick, worth the price
My husband and I, each, used JJ eSIM while on a 3-week trip in Japan. It was easy to acquire through the website, easy to activate, and it worked everywhere we went. City, rural, in the tunnels the Shinkansen passes through, etc. The price is just right for what is offered, as well. Support was also quick and painless when we had a question. Highly recommended.
Dru L

2 weeks in Tokyo with constant good connection!
I've been in Tokyo for 2 weeks now and I've always had good connection. Whether you want to stream music, watch videos, use social media whatever it is you want to do you're going to be satisfied with this provider. The price is very justified, it's easy to install and a must have on your Japan trip!
Oli

Quelled my anxiety before it could start
My wife and I have always wanted to go to Japan. When Journey Japan was announced, I knew I had to try it. It was the right choice. I've seen a lot of comments about issues with other esims, and the relief I've had that Journey Japan esim worked for us seamlessly has taken such a huge weight off our shoulders. We've been all around Tokyo, even heading to Kyoto on the bullet train and not once have I had issues. It's been reliable and a life saver that has allowed us to travel without worry in a new country. Absolutely recommend, it's an absolute steal for the price.
William Newberry
Irie, Kanagawa, Japan
Best ESIM Out There
This has been the best eSIM service I've used across my 4 trips to Japan. I used to struggle getting signal in certain areas when I used other eSIM services, but I have had no problems with Journey Japan ESIM, even when hiking the mountains of Hokkaido! Great value as well for whatever plan you choose!
Omar Guzman

No glitches!!
We bought right after it launched, opened it when we landed in Japan - not one issue - seamless!
Carla B.
Brunswick, Georgia, United States
So happy with it
First time going to Japan I'd heard some nightmares about internet connections, portable wifi and inconsistent eSIMs. Saw a video, took a chance and what can I say, it worked flawlessly. Never experienced poor connections in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, even on the Chuo Line in the middle of nowhere. After 28 days of some liberal use, I didn't run out of the 20GB eSIM which I consider fantastic value. Worked the second I landed at Narita until I turned it off at the end of the trip. I'll be using it again next trip, highly recommended!
Aidan K
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Great service
Went to Japan for 8 days. Visited Tokyo, Hakone and Kamakura and never had an issue. I was also giving my girlfriend internet through tethering and always worked great! Even in the underground or far away in the mountain.
Victor M
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Good eSim
Coverage pretty good, comparable to ubigi which I've used before hearing about JourneyJapan eSim. Pricing for JourneyJapan is cheaper for the 50GB option, though there doesn't seem to be any discount for referrals option.
Joshua Yen
Toyo, Tokyo, Japan
Fantastic Service and Fast Speeds
Visited Japan 2 weeks ago and set up the Journey Japan eSIM just before we came. Process was super simple and as soon as we landed it connected without a hitch. Throughout our trip we had steady data and no issues. Very happy with the plan.
Mike H
North Bergen, New Jersey, United States
Fantastic experience - will use again next time
I've just come back from a 3 week trip to Kyushu, where I used the Journey Japan eSim the entire time. My husband's phone doesn't have eSim capability, so I bought the eSim with the highest data amount and hot-spotted during the trip. It worked well, with no issues. Easy to activate and set-up. I had to buy another eSim towards the end of our trip due to us using a lot of data, and this was easy to do. Will definitely use again next time I visit Japan.
Amy A.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
A very Affable ESIM service
Is it easy to use- Yes. Is it good value for money - Yes. Does it actually work - Yes. What more could you want from a company
Daniel
Great value, easy installation
Journey Japan's eSim service has helped me a lot, not only is it great for the price, but even once the data all used up, I could still use data with reduced strength without any additional costs. The eSim was delivered quickly and the installation was done in a minute. Would highly recommend for short and long term data usage.
Camille Okubo
Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan
Great Connection even in the most remote places.
I just did a 2-week RV trip around southern parts and shukoku Island. I never once had a problem with connection. In Tokyo I had Friends that were having problems connecting to other esims but I had zero problems with JJesim being on the docomo Network. Will very much be using this again in the future.
Spencer
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Fantastic eSIM
Super easy to set up in Narita Airport, immediate 4G connection, I had no issues anywhere throughout Japan above and below ground with this eSIM. It's so good, it worked all the way up to Busan harbour after taking the ferry from Osaka. Working with hotspot was so incredibly helpful as my wife's recently upgraded phone didn't have eSIM compatibility. Highly recommend this eSIM and will advise everyone I know going to Japan to pick up this eSIM for their trip.
Rowan Phelps
Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom
Great service, great value
Overall, great service throughout our trip, great value. My husband and I were in Japan for 10 days, visiting Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Tokyo. Never had an issue connecting to the internet for messaging, maps, and YouTube videos when there was down time at the hotels. Only ever used WiFi at the hotels. Husband did manage to use nearly half the gigs of the plan. Overall, great service and good value.
Bianca P.
Had my first sim run out after 30 days
Had my first sim run out after 30 days, had 4 days left, saw Chris Broad shilling his e-sim, bought into it, was very satisfied.
Alexander B.
It just works!
Everything just worked? Mom and I traveled to Japan and I decided we'd try to different eSims and my phone had the JJ eSim and it just… worked. We had to jump through hoops and the other sim didn't get fully setup for a couple of days. I did have consistent 4g in both Tokyo, Osaka and Kawaguchiko. I had never dealt with eSims prior to this and enjoyed this experience greatly.
Jeremy S
Cheaper than roaming plans
It was so easy to setup. Once setup it just worked so I didn't have to worry about not having access to data. It was cheaper than using roaming and definitely more reliable. I was using it on forest walks in Furano to streets of Kamakura. I will definitely use again on our next trip to Japan. I used it for 18 days and didn't use up the 20GB. Thanks for creating Chris and team.
Jellete E.
Would buy again
It wasn't clear to me that the 30 day time period would start as soon as I completed the purchase. Because of that i startet the eSIM to early. Lucky for me it still covered my vacation time except the last day, which was inconvenient but managable. But I was pleased with the overall experience: the Website is good designed, activation process is easy and the Internet connection was very good nearly all the time. I visited Tokyo, Kanazawa, Shirakawa-Go, Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kyoto and the Mt Fuji region. Would buy this eSIM again for future travels.
Barbra E.
Great!
Would recommend
Caroline S.
Best esim around
I have never had a faster, more reliable eSIM.
Clay T.
Highly Recommneded
We had a full 3 week trip in mostly rural areas of Kyushu and the beaches of Okinawa. this worked very well for our whole trip! I would wholeheartedly recommend this sim to anyone interested in travelling to Japan.
Scott M.
Transparent Pricing
I like how transparent the website about what to expect. Very prescriptive on the plan descriptions. More power to JJ eSim team!
Kyle L.
Overall Great
Probably not the objective best in terms of dollar per gig out there but easy to set up and fast and seamless connection

I will just be buying JJESIM every time I go to Japan
Great eSIM. I used to buy the portable wifi at the airport and have to go through the hassle of getting it at the airport and returning it. Now I will just be buying JJESIM every time I go to Japan. Can't recommend it enough.

Surprisingly fast!
I was shocked to see how fast the Journey Japan eSIM really is! I've been to Japan multiple times using other providers, even at one point having a Japanese phone… but the Journey Japan eSIM had better service than a local provider. 10/10 would recommmend!

Excellent Data plan for 30 days
The 20GB data plan for 30 days met my needs between using google maps, searches, and sometimes playing Pokemon Go during train rides. There were a few occasions where my eSIM was unresponsive, likely due to saturated networks, for example at Osaka Castle and near Kawaguchiko to see Mount Fuji. I accepted the inconvenience but it did add some stress at points along my route.

JJ eSIM, a very good eSIM service!
You get it fast, installation is easy, and the signal is reliable in both rural and urban regions. For the price you are paying you are getting a very good product. Where I have to criticize a bit is connection speed - coming from Switzerland I have come to expect being able to watch HD video with no buffering, and this was not always my experience, especially in urban areas like Tokyo. In conclusion, would I buy this again? Yes, definitely.

Easy and affordable
I am going to Japan for my upcoming birthday, and while getting older in another country can come with many stressors, finding the right e-sim isn't one of them. I am happy with my choice of the Journey Japan eSIM. The only issue I have come across is the registering and downloading piece for the eSIM; however, this is a new service, and I don't doubt it will keep getting better.

Great!
Installed before the flight and it activated right away at landing. Speed was good and great in open air, in some stores even tho you have signal the speed dies, but it's more rarely than not. Only got LTE all trip but I enjoyed the data and compared to other eSIM this worked better.

Great eSIM for Japan, just miss personal hotspot and 5G
I was bike packing in Japan for a month. This eSIM worked very well and fast. I was surprised to get a signal on almost every part of rural Japan, even on the road in the middle of nowhere. In some hotels, the cellular data was even faster than their Wi-Fi. I just only missed having personal hotspot sharing and 5G connectivity. At least on iPhone, those two features were unavailable.

Not that great
I went all over Japan and most of the time I did not have 5G service like advertised. I was only there for 2 weeks and it was financially better to get the 30 day fully unlimited plan. But after the first few days, everything was so slow to load. I even had to use my car's navigation system instead of my phone because of how horrible the service was, and this was in the cities too, where all the tourists go.

Horrible speeds and shocking reception.
I'm currently on a trip in Japan and have been in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka and am really struggling with this esim. No matter where I am the internet speed is so excruciatingly slow. I've contacted support and followed instructions provided and nothing has changed. I'm very disappointed with this esim as I've seen nothing but great reviews. One positive I can give is that the installation process is fast and flawless.

It works great until it doesn't
I'm currently on a 4-week trip in Japan. For the first 3 weeks, the eSIM was great! However, in my 4th and final week, the connection has completely died. I have tried every solution that the troubleshooting tab suggested, and nothing worked. They claim 24/7 support, but it's an AI chatbot that can't actually help with real problems. I emailed customer service and still haven't received a response. I can't recommend the JJeSIM if it isn't going to work for the full duration of my stay.

Disappointed
I bought this with high hopes for my trip. It did not work for my phone and my friend was unable to download it on hers. We both made sure our phones worked with this esim before purchase. For me, it barely worked, lagged out constantly and I ended up deleting it and just used my tmobile international plan. I won't be getting this again. Wasted money on this big time.

Really not a great esim, constantly slow and making it hard to navigate. Would definitely recommend another esim option.
