Why choose the Japan Light Travel Card?
•
Japan IP · local base-station network · traffic does not route through China · more peace of mind · use with confidence: Uses SoftBank local base stations; egress is Japan IP (not China egress).
•
The simplest way: No physical SIM swap; a clear daily 1GB allowance with high-speed restoring the next day; just pick the number of days and order.
•
1GB daily high-speed: After the day’s high-speed is used, speed drops to about (messaging still works); resets the next day. Suitable for maps, transit, LINE／messaging, and light social use.
•
Hotspot and popular apps supported: Hotspot sharing, LINE, Instagram, Facebook, Google, YouTube, ChatGPT, TikTok, Gemini, and more all work.
•
APN tip: iPhone usually auto-configures; most Android devices need manual APN: plus.4g (username plus / password 4g / CHAP).
•
Who it's for／who should switch: Choose this for short trips when about 1GB per day is enough; for a larger daily allowance or multiple options, please switch to "Japan Daily plan (multiple allowances)" or "SoftBank／KDDI Daily plan"; for native Docomo, please switch to "IIJ Docomo Daily plan"; if you do not want to track data all day, please switch to "AU KDDI True Unthrottled".
•
Activation tip: We recommend installing and setting the APN in Taiwan first; activate only after you arrive within SoftBank coverage in Japan to avoid starting the validity period early.
