Man it’s hard to believe it’s been six months already!🥳
For 10 years, I didn’t feel comfortable recommending a single SIM company to Abroad in Japan viewers. I’d watch friends and family arrive, pick the wrong SIM, and spend their holiday clinging to public Wi-Fi like it was an oxygen tank.
Japan has some of the fastest internet on Earth. Yet bizarrely many SIM companies treat overseas tourists like walking ATMs, selling frustratingly throttled connections.
It wasn’t good enough. So earlier this year, after almost 12 months of hard work we launched our own: Journey Japan eSIM🇯🇵
JJESIM utilises NTT Docomo's network, which covers 99% of Japan’s population and is the gold standard for coverage here. And unlike big international eSIM providers that bounce your data halfway around the world, we’re based in Japan, meaning no extra lag!
Being local also means we can give our customers awesome perks. From teaming up with Big Echo, Japan’s largest karaoke chain, for 500 yen off per person, to another 500 yen off cocktails at LOST Bar in Shibuya (a frankly dangerous combination), we want to reward those who travel with us.
So if you’re planning your own Journey Across Japan, don’t sabotage it with a bargain-bin, bandwidth-throttled SIM.
Grab a JJESIM and enjoy super-fast, super-reliable internet from snowy Hokkaido to subtropical Okinawa. The days of scavenging for public Wi-Fi are over.
And a huge thanks to the thousands of travellers who’ve chosen us in 2025 so far!
Happy travels guys,
Chris
