What is GTN Mobile?
GTN Mobile is a mobile service for foreigners in Japan. It offers a wide range of plans and reliable support for both tourists and long-term residents. This time, we will introduce all prepaid plans (5G Prepaid voice plan and GTN Prepaid Data SIM) for people having short-stay visa.
GTN Prepaid Data SIM - Available as both physical SIM and eSIM!
Mobile data has become an essential tool for travelers to look up information on tourist destinations and transportation. Many people research data SIM cards before their trip. GTN Prepaid Data offers four plans, ranging from 10GB to 135GB for up to 90 days, making it easy to find a plan that fits your needs—whether you're visiting for a short trip or a long stay! Plus, if you have an eSIM-compatible smartphone, there’s great news. You can purchase an eSIM anytime, 24/7, on the GTN Mobile official website and get ready before you even arrive in Japan.

GTN 5G Prepaid - A must-see for those looking for a phone number!
If mobile data alone doesn’t meet your needs during your stay in Japan, consider the "GTN 5G Prepaid Plan"—a plan that includes a phone number! Having a Japanese phone number can be essential for tasks like making restaurant reservations or purchasing tickets while traveling. However, those without a long-term stay visa may find it challenging to sign up for a phone number at traditional telecom stores, and options for short-term SIM cards with a phone number are very limited. If you need a short-term phone plan, be sure to visit a GTN Mobile store to sign up and make your purchase!
