Here some elements to consider:

How to choose your mobile operator in Japan?

What documents are required to subscribe to a mobile plan in Japan?

What criteria should you consider when choosing a plan matching your needs?

Are e-sim cards a suitable option for expats? What are the conditions?

What are your local tips for saving money on your mobile plan, especially for international calls (apps, operators, etc.) or mobile data?

Thank you for your contribution.
