1. The Most Inexpensive eSIM for Japan Travels

Choose MATCHA eSIM for its low cost. We have worked hard to provide the most budget-friendly eSIM plans available.

For example, the MATCHA eSIM 10-Day Unlimited Data Plan is priced at 30.30 USD, which is cheaper than any other similar plan offered by other companies. For reference, check the prices in the article linked below:

The 5-day, 7-day, and other Unlimited Data Plans, as well as the Daily Data Plans and Fixed Data Plans are also cheaper than those of other providers.

You might be wondering about the catch – why is MATCHA eSIM more affordable than other services?

The reason is simple: MATCHA eSIM is designed for exclusive use in Japan. If your trip includes other Asian countries, we recommend using World eSIM or another multi-country service.

2. eSIM Plans for Every Type of Traveler

No matter if you're visiting Japan for 7, 10, or 30 days, and whether your trip is for work, leisure, or both, you can choose the MATCHA eSIM plan that offers the best value for your needs.

Unlimited Data Plans: For Active Social Media Users and Family Trips

We recommend an Unlimited Data plan for travelers who frequently check social media, document their trips by uploading videos and photos, and watch online content.

You'll also need unlimited data if you're planning to work during your trip and want to connect your laptop or tablet to the internet using the eSIM tethering function.

Unlimited Data plans are also the best choice for family travel, as they enable parents to keep their children entertained with online games or videos during long train rides.

You can select from five types of MATCHA eSIM plans with unlimited data, tailored to suit the length of your trip.

Data	Validity	Price
Unlimited	5 days	15.80 USD
Unlimited	7 days	21.40 USD
Unlimited	10 days	30.30 USD
Unlimited	15 days	41.80 USD
Unlimited	30 days	65.90 USD

Daily Data Plans: For Budget-Conscious Travelers

A Daily Data Plan is ideal for users looking to keep costs down by limiting their daily data usage.

If you only need the eSIM for checking directions on Google Maps or accessing travel information, along with occasional social media use, a plan offering 1 GB per day may be sufficient.

However, if you plan to watch videos online or have video calls with family, you might want to consider an Unlimited Data Plan.

*For reference, watching videos online for two hours will consume approximately 1 GB of data.

There are six types of Daily Data Plans to choose from.

Data	Validity	Price
500 MB/day	10 days	6.10 USD
1 GB/day	5 days	5.30 USD
1 GB/day	7 days	6.80 USD
1 GB/day	10 days	9.90 USD
2 GB/day	10 days	16.70 USD
3 GB/day	10 days	24.70 USD

Fixed Data Plans: For Minimum Internet Use

A Fixed Data Plan allows you to set a specific data limit, such as 5 GB for two weeks or 10 GB for 30 days. This plan is suitable for users who intend to use their smartphones mainly for checking Google Maps and essential travel information.

This type of plan is ideal for users who want an internet detox during their trip and prefer to disconnect from the outside world by keeping their internet use to a minimum.

Data	Validity	Price
5 GB	15 days	8.00 USD
10 GB	30 days	14.40 USD
20 GB	30 days	24.20 USD

3. Easy to Activate

The MATCHA eSIM is simple to purchase online through a user-friendly English interface and easy to activate. Once you make your purchase, you'll receive an email containing instructions for setting up your eSIM connection.

We recommend activating it before your departure to Japan, as you'll need to use a computer, tablet, or another smartphone to display the QR code that your own smartphone will read.

Activating the MATCHA eSIM involves the same steps as the World eSIM, which you can review in the video below.

Once you land in Japan, open your Wi-Fi settings and select the MATCHA eSIM to enable your internet connection.

4. Reliable Connection and High Speed

The MATCHA eSIM operates on the same network as the World eSIM, utilizing major internet providers like Softbank and KDDI.

You can expect a stable and smooth connection, whether you're watching videos online or chatting with family overseas. The reliability of the connection remains consistent, whether you're in the bustling center of Tokyo or in a rural area.

For details on speed and connectivity, please refer to the article linked below, which provides an in-depth analysis of the World eSIM connection, including a speed test.

Please note that an eSIM connection may not be the best option for outdoor adventures on remote islands. If you plan to travel to a remote island in Japan for hiking, we recommend contacting World eSIM through this contact form to check on coverage in that specific area.

For a reliable connection even in the mountains or in less populated areas of remote islands, we recommend using a pocket Wi-Fi router, such as Ninja WiFi.
