Network & coverage

Stay connected in Kyoto

Your eSIM connects to NTT docomo, Rakuten Mobile, KDDI/au and SoftBank — all of them with 5G — across Kyoto, and it keeps working across Japan. The phone takes whichever network is strongest where you stand.

Traveller's guide

Staying connected in Kyoto

A weak connection does not just feel slow — it wastes your plan. Pages half-load and reload, uploads restart, apps retry in the background. Sitting on a solid network is part of what makes a fixed plan last the whole trip.

In Kyoto the biggest single draw is bus routing, because Kyoto runs on buses rather than a full metro and the numbering is unforgiving. Download the offline map before you fly and let the eSIM handle live traffic only.

Kyoto has no airport and only two subway lines — the city runs on buses, and working out which one goes where is a live-data problem every single day.

How it works

Connected in 3 simple steps

Whenever you like

Scan the QR code at home over Wi-Fi. Nothing is used up.

On landing at KIX / ITM

Turn off flight mode.

Turn on data roaming

The step most people forget. Your home SIM stays in the phone for bank codes, with its data switched off.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Will the Kyoto eSIM work on my phone?

Any eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked handset — iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Pixel 3 and newer. Dial *#06#; an EID number means yes.

How fast is the data in Kyoto?

4G and 5G where the local network provides it. Speed varies by area and time of day, as it does for everyone on the same network.

Do I need a passport or registration?

No. That requirement applies to physical SIM cards bought locally, not to this eSIM.

When does my plan start?

On the first connection to a local network — when you switch off flight mode at KIX / ITM. Not when you pay.

What happens when my data runs out?

Your connection simply pauses — no surprise bills, ever. To keep going, buy another package for the same destination. If that happens often, the unlimited plan is the cheaper answer.

Can I add data to an eSIM I already have?

Not on a data package — the amount of data is fixed, so nothing is added to an eSIM that is already running. If you need more, another package for the same destination arrives by email and installs alongside the eSIM you already have. Our unlimited plans work differently: those can be extended by extra days while they are still active.

Can I keep my normal number for calls and texts?

Yes. Keep the home line active for SMS codes with its data off, and let the eSIM carry the data.

Can I use it as a mobile hotspot in Kyoto?

Yes. Bear in mind a second device draws from the same plan.

Does it work outside Kyoto?

Yes — it is a Japan-wide plan.

Staying longer than a week?

Unlimited is billed per day and the daily rate falls the longer you stay — same networks, no counting.
