Easy to use and activate. Loaded the eSim before leaving Australia. Connected on arrival in Japan. Good coverage and speed during my 3 weeks trip.
We initially had some issues with activation but they were contactable via WhatsApp immediately and it was sorted within minutes. Coverage was very good and the convenience of an e-sim is second to none.
Purchased 2 eSim during my short stay in Japan – one worked fine with iPhone while the other did not work at all with Samsung compatible model. Support via WhatsApp was quick to response, however I did not have much time to configure as I was already in Japan travelling at the time. Would opt for a physical SIM next time as it is much easier to use.
Hi Brendan we clearly outlined that apn need to configure for this eSIM. We ask customer to please review product page to determine if it’s suitable. We have other eSIM that has automatic APN. This is definitely not the fault of the eSIM as it works fine if you follow the instructions. As you mentioned we are also available on live chat almost instantly.
Seems like a good deal. Decent coverage and speed.
Great service! Very easy to activate and support is quick. Thank you
Worked well for me in Japan in various cities. I scanned the code a day in advance from Sydney. The e-sim automatically searched for local network and activated itself when I arrived in Japan.
simple process to set up, clearly explained and worked without issues throughout the duration of my trip!
Sim did not work. Would connect to network but had no data. Purchased a different sim plan which had no issues.
Connection was stable and fast. No issue in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and along the path. The only shortcoming was the activation instruction – different version of Android has slight variation, which is not catered for.
Fast and easy setup. Fast internet, good coverage. No fuss, gets the job done.
Good price & signals in Japan.
Reliable speeds and connection from Osaka to Tokyo. However, wish the additional step of adding the APN “vmobile.jp” was more bold or upfront to avoid heart attacks on the first day.
It was easy set up. Even at first we had issues but after chat with one of the staff which he is really helpful, we managed to get everything
Intermittent disconnections
I bought both 30G and 50G e-sim for Japan and both works great. Support from TravelKon via Whatapp is excellent even while we are there. Will certainly buy from TravelKon again
sometimes not work very well with Samsong phone
Piece of cake, and works a treat. Never had a dropout or anything, and it was working within a short time of arriving in Tokyo
Very happy with this product – super easy setup thanks to the email instructions provided by Travelkon, and the eSim connected to the network shortly after landing in Japan. Fantastic coverage throughout the country and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this again for my next trip!
I had some issues after landing in Japan but a quick response from these folks on their WhatsApp helped immensely. They very quickly figured out what the issue was and helped me with fixing it immediately. I was able to set up the internet before leaving the airport.

ESim was amazing. Had great coverage not only in the cities but all country areas as well. So easy to set up. Customer service is wonderful. I will certainly use TravelKon again. Thank you 🙂
Great overall, definitely will be using you guys again for next trip
Great way to stay connected for visitors navigating Japan’s cities and regional areas!
Very easy to use even for a non-tech savvy person – just read and follow the instructions. Connection was really good and worked instantly.
Had connectivity issue at Sapporo, contacted CS, and they were able to resolve with issuing a new eSIM.
A little bit slow in Japan but as a whole ok Q/P. I will buy again if the price is reasonable
I ordered the eSim before leaving Australia the email arrived almost straight away. I installed it at the airport before leaving as our trip was only for 14 day but I ordered a 30 day 50 gig sim. I switched over on arrival at Narita Airport however it didn’t work. I had printed the instructions and once I changed the settings as per the instructions it worked. We were on a cruise and it worked while in the ports all over Japan with no problems. A friend bought a sim for 6000 yen from a vending machine which also worked but was more expensive. I would definitely buy again and highly recommend.
