Narrow it down to 4 candidates first

Price matters, but so do data ladders, contract terms, and whether the brand gives you English support, roaming, or a flexible top-up model. Shortlist by brand first, then compare the detail.

Why this site

Only what you need before applying

Too much info, not enough signal — this site strips it down to the factors that actually matter for the first decision.

Step 1

Choose by life situation

Travel, study, working holiday, or long stay each call for different requirements. Narrow by purpose first.

Step 2

Choose by activation effort

eSIM if you want it now; physical SIM if you prefer hands-on control. Setup complexity is part of the comparison.

Step 3

Choose by support level

Whether you need Japanese-language support shapes the first-contract experience significantly. We factor in the help path.

Referral

Referral details covered separately

The referral link flow, eligibility, and credit timing are all on a dedicated page — so you're not scrambling at checkout.
