To get straight to the point, World eSIM is convenient for those embarking on a one- to two-week trip to Japan.

Most tourists use 500 MB to 1 GB of daily data on these trips.

However, many companies offer a plan that handles unlimited data at a relatively high fee. Alternatively, they may provide a daily plan in which the total turns out to be expensive at the end.

In that regard, World eSIM has budget-friendly plans for 5, 10, or 15 days.
