Is an EastESIM a better option than renting a Pocket Wi-Fi device for my trip to Japan?

Updated April 22, 2026

For most travelers, an EastESIM offers a significantly more convenient and hassle-free experience than a Pocket Wi-Fi in Japan. With an EastESIM, there's no extra device to carry, no dual batteries to charge, and no worries about losing equipment or incurring hefty late return fees. It's entirely digital, meaning you activate it directly on your phone and are connected instantly upon arrival at airports like Narita or Kansai, without the need for pick-ups or drop-offs. Enjoy the freedom of a truly integrated connection.
