Japan for nomads. Japan for digital nomads in 2026: the 2024 Digital Nomad Visa (6 months), real Tokyo / Kyoto / Fukuoka budgets, the world's fastest fiber, safest cities.
Japan has its own plan: unlimited data for 3, 7, 30 days, or 10 or 20 GB for 30 days, from $10.99, in one payment or on a plan that renews. It works in Japan only; for a trip across several countries, pick the regional plan or Global above the card instead.
No. Ringo Light is data only, installed next to your own SIM, so your number keeps working for calls and SMS while the eSIM carries the data. The full Ringo service, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported, is still being built.
Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the eSIM arrives by email, usually within seconds. Scan the QR code in your phone settings, switch data to the Ringo line when you land, and it connects. Any recent iPhone or eSIM-capable Android works.
