Why Choose JP SMART SIM
JP SMART SIM
Apply Before You Arrive in Japan
Apply for your CALL SIM with just your passport, before you even arrive in Japan.
Once your application is approved, you'll know your real Japanese phone number before entering Japan, which can be useful for things like job applications. And once you're in Japan, having a phone number already means you can get started on opening a bank account right away.
Just pick up your SIM card or eSIM activation code at the airport when you arrive.
*Available at Narita and Haneda Airports.
*For eSIM CALL (Voice Call SIM) plans, we're unable to email your activation code. This is to confirm you're the true owner of the number, as required by Japanese regulations — so please pick up the document with your code at the airport in person.
Multilingual Support
All services are available in English, Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Korean, Portuguese, Burmese and Japanese.
Carryover Data
Make the most of your data — any data you don't use this month automatically carries over until next month.
