Japan has four mobile networks: NTT Docomo, KDDI (au), SoftBank and Rakuten Mobile. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. All four cover the cities and the main rail lines well; differences show up in the mountains, on the smaller islands and in rural Hokkaido. Japan has closed every 3G network, so phones now connect over 4G or 5G. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
