Local carrier KDDI offers truly unlimited data and up to 1Gbps connection speeds.

What we'll be covering
Whether you’re off to Japan for the cherry blossoms or the ski slopes, there’s a better option than paying $10 a day for roaming on a slower network. Over a month, that’s up to $310 in extra charges.
With TravelKon, you can download and install the latest eSIMs in seconds. Enjoy completely unlimited data and super-fast local speeds for as little as $2.71 a day with a 31-day eSIM.

Enjoy truly limitless, blazing-fast data with KDDI
For one of the best connectivity experiences in Japan, consider a local KDDI eSIM. Once downloaded, you’ll browse like a local with truly unlimited data – no caps or throttling. If your phone is capable, you’ll even be able to connect with gigabit speeds. Yes, that’s a connection of up to 1 Gbps per device!
KDDI ‘Unlimited Ultra’ SIM cards are valid for 4 to 31 days and start at just A$22 before discounts. At Point Hacks, you’ll always get a minimum of 15% off with our promo code.
But until 15 April 2025, you can enjoy 20% off with the code POINTHACKS20. On a 31-day unlimited eSIM for $84 (with the discount), that’s as little as $2.71 a day.

Explore Japan by the seasons
Not visiting during Cherry Blossom season? Japan transforms beautifully throughout the year, each offering a unique charm and reason to visit:
- Spring (March to May): A pastel dream of cherry blossoms and mild temperatures. Hanami (flower viewing) is a beloved tradition, especially in Kyoto and Tokyo. A must-visit for those who love picturesque landscapes and vibrant festivals.
- Summer (June to August): A mix of humid heat and lively energy. Traditional summer festivals and mountain escapes make this an exciting time to explore. Perfect for those seeking adventure in the countryside or cultural immersion.
- Autumn (September to November): A fiery canvas of red and gold foliage. Cooler weather makes sightseeing comfortable, while seasonal treats like roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts add to the experience. Ideal for nature lovers and photographers – see our previous trips to the Kyushu region and the Ehime Prefecture.
- Winter (December to February): A serene, snow-draped wonderland in the north, while Tokyo and Kyoto remain crisp yet inviting. Skiing in Hokkaido, relaxing in steamy onsens, and enjoying festive illuminations make winter enchanting. A dream for winter sports enthusiasts and onsen lovers.

Whenever you go to Japan, there’s a TravelKon eSIM ready to keep you connected.
