Can I share a hotspot to my laptop in Japan?

Why eSIM over a local physical SIM in Japan?
Install before you fly and it works on landing — no airport queues or passport deposits. And we tell you which carrier you're on, unlike a counter SIM.
Which carrier networks does the Japan eSIM use?
It connects to local networks including NTT docomo, Rakuten Mobile, KDDI/au, SoftBank. See the network table above for the exact technologies — we publish this up front so you know before you buy.
How do I install and activate the Japan eSIM?
After purchase, scan the QR code or enter the activation code manually. Install before you travel while you still have a connection, then enable it on arrival.
Can I top up the Japan eSIM when data runs out?
Most plans support top-ups — recharge the eSIM you already have from My eSIM, and both data and validity stack on, with no reinstall or re-scan. Daily plans add more days. Availability is shown on each plan page.
