Ubigi Japanese eSIM plans

Ubigi offers three Japanese data eSIMs for you to choose from. The eight-day unlimited data plan is down to $21 from $25 once our 15% discount has been applied. For those staying in the country longer, the 15-day unlimited data plan now costs $33, down from the usual $39. Anyone lucky enough to be in Japan for a full month can choose the 30-day unlimited data plan for $55 — down from $65.

There are tons of reasons to head to Japan, whether you’re checking out the local wrestling scene or hunting for some hard-to-find classic video games. And that’s before we get into the amazing scenery and architecture that’s just waiting to be explored. Whatever your plans, having to worry about data costs shouldn’t be part of them.

These data-only eSIMs are easy to set up and use, with a single Ubigi app handling data connections for over 200 destinations, including Japan. You only need to install one app no matter your destination, so there’s no scanning of QR codes or complicated setup here.

Why this deal matters

Whether you’re visiting Japan for a vacation or for work, you’re going to need to use your phone. Sure, you can roam using your carrier, but data costs can be extortionate and unpredictable. Buying a Ubigi eSIM takes the guesswork and worry out of using your phone abroad, and saving 15% is just the icing on the cake.
