Popular Japan eSIM. A May 2026 traveler had signal in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Sapporo; only a rural pocket in Chiba dropped. Gave a local IP with no geo-blocks.

Unlimited-style Japan travel eSIM for a week. Pricier than Ubigi's 10 GB pack, useful if you are tethering or uploading a lot.

Physical tourist SIMs still used when you want a Japanese number or longer stays. Sakura Mobile, Mobal and IIJmio are the names travelers keep repeating.

Coworking

Tokyo & Osaka

Highest approval scores, but cafe wifi is surprisingly slow. Traditional kissaten and some independents ban laptops and calls. Manga/net cafes give a private booth and wired internet for about ¥400–600/hour.
