Review summary
Sakura Mobile is exceptionally well-rated by customers. Customers particularly appreciate service and reliable, though some mention concerns about customer service and expensive.
Sakura Mobile is very easy to set up via eSIM which is what I went for.
We travelled a fair amount in Japan and I had good coverage everywhere we went.
The price was fair (equivalent to about £25 per week for unlimited use).
I wasn’t sure how to set up the eSIM at first so I emailed Sakura Mobile help center. They replied within an hour and walked me through the IOS recommended settings.
10/10.
Will use again and would highly recommend.
All the processes was easy eve that i had an issue with the data not working because I did something wrong in the process, i contacted them through email and they were super fast and helpful and helped me to fix the issue, thanks for the amazing team and i highly recommend it
Great, quick and very kind support, like the overall service.
Sakura Mobile has been a great companion of our journey in Japan.
Strongly recommend to anyone.
The service is great and will get you around Japan but at times it cuts off and switches me back to my T-moble. I disabled my other sim, so when the line cuts off I wait for it to come back. 10/10 will use again when I come back next year.
Only English is fine, accurate webpage information, nice customer service.
The information on the webpage was accurate. They also answered the mail I sent to them with questions and the customer service was great, because they catered to me with patience and with perfect English. They helped me set up with ease the SIM card.
I was so confused on how I was going to be able to use Internet while studying abroad in Japan for year. But I saw Sakura Mobile recommended on Reddit and checked it out, and I'm so glad I did! I chose a mobile wifi device, and two months into my studying abroad and it's been super convenient.
It was very easy to pick up at Haneda Airport, and there was basically no set up needed.
Definitely recommend!
I pad 8000 yen for Unlimited eSIM that doesn't work. Gives me zero Internet
Meanwhile bought 3GB eSIM from competitor just 7 USD. Works perfectly.
Update. Sakuramobile answered me with changes to APN that now works however it's already been two days
Every person who assisted me by answering questions or following up were very understanding, helpful and quick in their responses. They also clarified things simply and looked for my best interest.
As a foreigner, I was looking for a straightforward and transparent service with no hidden conditions. Most importantly, I needed an easy way to ask questions and a flexible contract without any strict commitments. The service I received exceeded my expectations. I have both mobile phone service and fiber internet, and both provide consistently excellent connection and signal. I use the mobile service while traveling to stay connected, and the home fiber for gaming, which demands a top-notch connection. I’ve never had any issues, and customer service has always been fantastic— it genuinely felt like I could reach out to a friend with any questions. There were no vague responses or copy-paste answers; everything felt professional yet personal. I'm very satisfied with the service. Thank you!
The process was really easy, went to the airport and picked up the e-sim. Had some slight initial issues with setting it up, as I needed internet for it to work. Otherwise the support team was helpful and the instructions were clear.
