Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

I recently learned about the term "eSIM" and heard that if you go to Japan and install the eSIM function in your phone,

you can get a Japanese phone number during the period, making it very easy to make reservations at hotels and guest houses.

My phone is a US spec Galaxy S21 5G and the carrier is T-Mobile.

Until now, I had to contact T-Mobile before departure and sign up for a plan that can be used normally in Japan.

This phone also has eSIM function, so I will definitely use it next time.

Have any of you traveled to Japan and used the eSIM function?

What are the advantages ・ and disadvantages of this? My stay in Japan is about 2 weeks.


I used to call T-Mobile before I left and ask for a plan that said how many cents per minute for talk and

how many cents per gigabyte for data when I use my phone in Japan.

I use an "eSIM."
It is easier and cheaper than pocket wifi or physical sim.
5 gigs is enough for 2 weeks if you don't watch videos etc.
I watched videos under wifi environment.

However, to get a Japanese phone number, you need a valid
"driver's license （ issued by the Public Safety Commission of Japan *excluding international license ）
My number card (personal number card)
Residence card".

#3921 I'll put the eSIM on the shelf for the next trip to Japan

I'll call T-Mobile before departure as I did last time and ask for a package that says how much for Talk

how much for Data and I'll be charged. I'll ask for a package.

Thanks for the information, Zuno. Which company's eSIM do you recommend?

If I can get a phone number in Japan, for example, with a minecard, is there any plan that allows someone to call that number from Japan and receive the call in the US after returning to the US? If so, is there an eSIM for multiple countries? Also, does the eSIM support WiFi-Calling?
