Setting up your eSIM in Japan is quite easy! Once you arrive, simply scan the QR code you received after purchase, and follow the instructions to activate it. Make sure your phone is set to enable mobile data.

I just got back from Japan and it was a breeze! I activated my eSIM as soon as I landed and had no issues. Just remember to keep your phone in airplane mode until you're connected.

Also, make sure to check your settings regarding network selection. Japan has specific carriers, and sometimes you might need to manually select the one that works best in the area you're visiting.

When you install the eSIM, don't forget to enable data roaming. It helped me get fast internet everywhere, especially in rural areas!

The best tip I can give is to download any essential apps (like maps or translation) before you leave. Having an internet connection in Japan is great, but it's good to have offline access too!

Don't forget to check your data usage! I ended up using it a lot more than I thought I would—Instagram stories take up quite a bit!
