Stay connected in Kyoto

Kyoto is Japan's former imperial capital -- thousands of temples and shrines, the golden Kinkaku-ji, geisha-era streets in Gion, and some of the most photographed gardens in the world. Your eSIM keeps bus-and-rail apps, maps and translation running as you move between quiet backstreets and crowded temple gates.

Every plan runs on Japan’s top-tier NTT Docomo / SoftBank 4G/5G networks, so you get fast, reliable data in Kyoto and right across Japan. Install your eSIM before you fly, then switch it on when you land -- no queuing for a SIM card and no roaming bill when you get home.

Popular spots around Kyoto:

  • Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)
  • Fushimi Inari Taisha
  • Gion geisha district
  • Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
  • Kiyomizu-dera Temple

eSIM FAQ -- Kyoto

What is a Japan eSIM and how does it work?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into most phones from 2018 onward. Instead of a physical card, your plan activates straight from a QR code or an automatic install link after checkout. Scan it once and your phone connects to a Japanese mobile network across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido and the rest of the country -- no shop visit, no SIM swap, and your home SIM stays in for calls and texts on your normal number.
How quickly can I use my eSIM after buying it?
Within minutes. Checkout is instant -- card, PayPal or Google Pay -- and your eSIM details are ready right after payment. Install it before you fly and simply switch it on when you land at Narita, Haneda or Kansai Airport.
Which networks do the Japan plans use?
Our plans run on Japan's top-tier networks (NTT Docomo and SoftBank), giving you fast, reliable 4G/5G coverage across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido and every other region this site covers.
Does the eSIM work in every destination this site covers?
Yes. Coverage is nationwide, so the same eSIM works whether you're in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido or anywhere else in Japan. Very remote mountain or island spots can be patchier, as with any carrier.
Is my phone compatible with an eSIM?
Most modern phones support eSIM -- iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Note and Z models. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm before you buy.
Can I still call and text on my usual number?
Yes. Our plans are data-only, which is all most travellers need, and they run alongside your home SIM. Call and message for free over WhatsApp, FaceTime or Telegram using the data, while your normal SIM keeps your usual number active for calls and texts.
What happens when my data runs out?
Just come back and buy a top-up plan -- checkout takes seconds and there's no need to find a shop. Pick a bigger plan from the start if you know you'll need more for a longer trip across multiple cities.
How do I pay and how fast is checkout?
Pick a plan, choose your currency, and click "Get Your eSIM" -- that takes you straight to a secure checkout with card, PayPal or Google Pay. No account, no forms. If you'd rather talk it through first, our WhatsApp chat link is always available too.
