I love visiting Japan<\/a>. Even after multiple visits, I never get tired of wandering the country\u2019s historic temples, feasting on its incredible sushi, and soaking up the breakneck pace of life in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

After over half a dozen visits, I\u2019ve learned through trial and error how to best explore the country. English isn\u2019t widely spoken, and once you get out of the big cities, it\u2019s even less common. That means things like online maps and translation apps are vital for every traveler.<\/p>\n

To ensure you stay connected during your trip, you\u2019re going to want to buy an eSIM. It\u2019s the best way to ensure you have mobile data as you explore the country.<\/p>\n

But which eSIM is the best for traveling Japan?<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019ll breakdown why I think Jetpac<\/a> is the best eSIM for Japan and why you should consider them for your next visit.<\/p>\n

What is Jetpac?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Jetpac<\/a> is a travel eSIM company founded in Singapore. They offer affordable mobile data coverage to over 150 destinations around the world (including Japan), but they also offer regional bundles so that you can visit more than one country with the same eSIM and still have reliable coverage.<\/p>\n

To get an eSIM, you\u2019ll first want to browse their plans to see which duration is best for you. They have plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and 1 day to 30 days, with prices starting at just $4 USD. Their Japan eSIM prices are super competitive and affordable for even the cheapest budget traveler. <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve picked your plan, you\u2019ll be able to add the eSIM to your device. It\u2019s super simple, but they also have free video tutorials and an FAQ on their site if you run into trouble.<\/p>\n

What I especially love is that it\u2019s just a one-time installation. Many other eSIMs require a new installation for each new eSIM that you buy. That\u2019s not the case with Jetpac, which makes this a great choice for travelers who want a hassle free eSIM (especially travelers who are less tech savvy). <\/p>\n

You can use a Jetpac eSIM<\/a> regardless of your current data plan, however, it will only work on unlocked phones.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in Japan Jetpac has extensive 5G coverage, which means you\u2019ll have fast and reliable mobile data everywhere you go.<\/p>\n

Jetpac doesn\u2019t just offer eSIMs though. They actually have some pretty solid travel perks, which, in my mind, is what makes them the best eSIM for Japan.<\/p>\n

JetPass<\/a> is the free suite of benefits that you get access to with any Jetpac purchase. This is where Jetpac really goes above and beyond, as I haven\u2019t seen these benefits with any other eSIM provider. They offer two free perks and two paid add-ons:<\/p>\n

SmartDelay (free)<\/strong>
With this feature, you can get free lounge access if your flight is delayed for more than an hour. All you need to do is register your flight in the Jetpac app. If your flight is delayed, you\u2019ll get a digital LoungeKey\u2122 voucher sent straight to your email. What I really love is that you can even register up to five traveling companions, so if you\u2019re traveling with friends or family, you\u2019ll all be able to get into the lounge.<\/p>\n

ExpressVPN trial (free)<\/strong>
Cybersecurity is something that not enough travelers take seriously. I always use a VPN when I travel, and I recommend you do the same. That\u2019s why I think it\u2019s great that Jetpac offers a free 30-day trial of ExpressVPN, one of the best VPN services out there. (You just need to be a new user of ExpressVPN).<\/p>\n

Lounge Access (paid)<\/strong>
If you want lounge access no matter what, you can purchase lounge passes at a discount via the Jetpac app. A lounge pass in Asia costs $30 USD, while a lounge pass in the rest of the world costs $35 USD. Considering lounges can cost $40\u201360 USD per person for a day pass, this is a nice way to get a discount on a pass if you don\u2019t already have access. <\/p>\n

You can buy a single pass or buy passes in bundles of up to six passes at a time (you pay less per pass the more passes you purchase at once).<\/p>\n

Fast Track (paid)<\/strong>
Jetpac also offers FastTrack passes in Europe and China, where you get access to lanes that let you skip the long lines of security. These passes cost $12 USD for a single pass or $62 USD for a six-pack.<\/p>\n
