SIM Card Registration & Activation Process for Tourists in Japan

Tourists in Japan can purchase a data-only SIM card without registration, as Japanese law does not require ID verification for such SIMs. However, voice and SMS-enabled SIM cards are restricted to residents with a valid residence card. Tourists must therefore opt for data SIMs, available at airports, electronics stores, and vending machines. Activation is usually immediate via QR code or app. While no formal registration is needed, users must comply with terms of use and cannot use SIMs for illegal activities.
