Sakura Mobile: no prepaid Japan plan with a confirmed price
Sakura Mobile does sell prepaid travel eSIMs (an unlimited plan and a 3GB-a-day plan, up to 90 days, from ¥1,375 including tax), but the price for each number of days is shown only in its official date-picking price simulator, so we have not confirmed those prices and do not rank them. Its Japan plan in our data is a monthly resident SIM, shown below.
Sakura Mobile has no prepaid Japan travel eSIM plan with a confirmed price in our data (checked November 7, 2026).
Monthly plan (for residents)
This isn't a prepaid travel package — it's a continuous-billing monthly plan aimed at people living in Japan, with a separate one-time cost on top of the monthly price. It is not part of the tourist ranking.
