The physical SIM was easy to pick up and clearly signposted at Haneda. I was able to install and use their guide to get it working immediately. I have had strong signal from Hiroshima to Kyoto, to Osaka and Tokyo. It was a little slower at the top in Hakone but then I was on top of a volcano! I have always had signal and it works. The pricing was great and I would absolutely use this as my go to travel SIM for Japan.
via TrustpilotSakura Mobile has English support and they perfectly understood my request to change my payment method and sent me a link for me to update said payment method.
The website/links can be viewed in English making it very user friendly to those of us with limited Japanese ability.
Good customer service. They quickly resolved a problem I had due to my own mistake when setting up. I simply sent an email and everything was handled.
via TrustpilotExcellent customer service. They spoke English perfectly. Made it very easy.
via TrustpilotThe guy that helped us was super helpful and kind - flawless service. I recommend coming here to make a Japanese phone number !!
via TrustpilotAs someone who moved to Japan and needed a Japanese phone number, Sakura Mobile was a life saver. The person who helped me spoke English well and took me through the process step by step and answered all my questions. He was patient and understanding. I was able to use an overseas Debit Card as well which really helped. I can't recommend them enough for others in a similar situation (at least the Shinjuku branch).
via TrustpilotSakura Mobile is very easy to work with - the wifi worked great and when I wanted to extend, a simple email was all that was necessary. They also provide a package and label for easy shipping back via Japan Post. I really appreciate the great customer service and ease of use!
via TrustpilotI have used Sakura Mobile for 2.5 years and have been very pleased with their service throughout the duration of my contract. Their mobile SIM cards are easy to use. I also use high-speed internet wi-fi in my home and this has also been great. Their customer service is also top-notch. They respond to emails very quickly and the live in-person support communication was also excellent. A+
via TrustpilotSakura Mobile was 1000/10 experience for our family of 5 in Japan for 15 days. We gave the teens their own and the adults and small child (with iPad) took the other. We were able to stay connected with each other on android and apple devices no problem. Everyone had fast access reliable access to their favorite content, messaging and WhatsApp. Our service provider wanted $25 per person, per day. No way! Sakura Mobile for the win!!!
via TrustpilotPlease cancel my account, in no longer in Japan. While I was using this service - it was excellent. I will definitely use this service next time I go to Japan. The arrival time of the in home wifi service was excellent. The customer service and ease of getting the device was amazing. The staff were bilingual, making the entire process was very smooth due to this.
via TrustpilotI’ve been using the home WiFi (not wired) device for 2 months. I live in the 1st floor of a concrete building, so was worried about the signal being strong enough. There has been no problem. I use it for my phone and pc or phone and smart tv. A bit slower than wired fiber optic home internet, but definitely usable.
Service and support have been excellent.
via TrustpilotLove Sakura Mobile! Other providers promise you seemingly cheap “unlimited” packages, but start throttling you when you consume a particular volume. Sakura on the other hand gives you the true unlimited experience. Get this eSIM installed on your mobile before you head to Japan, instead of buying at the airport
via TrustpilotFantastic customer service, big thank you to both Ezri and Keigo for assisting with an issue related to my eSim. Despite communicating via email, responses were prompt, to the point and most importantly helped fix the issue in under a day. Coverage is absolutely fantastic throughout the country and is so simple and easy to use.
I recommend Sakura Mobile for anyone visiting or living in Japan.
via TrustpilotFriendly, helpful and prompt service by the staff at the airport. Handed our SIM immediately.
No problem setting up the SIM. Instructions were super clear. Mobile phone recognises the SIM and network immediately. Just remember to restart the mobile phone to get connected.
SIM works well and fast. No problem at all.
via TrustpilotThe service is flawless and works well everywhere. I had to exchange one of my ESims to a physical SIM and customer service experience was absolutely fantastic. You guys are great. Keep up the awesome work.
via TrustpilotI accidentally booked the wrong date for my esim. I sent in a ticket and they fixed it immediately to the right dates, extending the esim period by 1 day, and I didn't have to pay anything extra. 10/10 customer service.
via TrustpilotWhat a lovely, informative, quick process. The team was very helpful and got my eSIM all set on my phone before leaving.
via Trustpilot"Easy to pick up from and return to KIX airport.
The wifi served 2 people well over our 11 day trip to Osaka.
5/5, would recommend for everyone with phones that don't support eSim 👌"
Excellent, eSIM worked shortly after touchdown and I am having a great connection and speed ever since!
via TrustpilotIt was very quick and easy to order a SIM card and pick it up at their office the next day. They allow you to pay with an international card, and they have updated their systems to recognise the 2nd generation residence card, which I found many other providers could not do.
via TrustpilotEverything from start to finish was simple and easy. The English language support was fantastic. Brandon at the Shinjuku office helped us set up our Japanese phone lines. Other team members helped us get our internet set up within days of our arrival to Tokyo. We are delighted that we chose Sakura Mobile for our phone and internet!
via TrustpilotWe have used Sakura before on a previous Japan trip and their pocket WiFi is excellent. This time we are planning another trip and I had a few questions about airport pick up and return and the response was very quick and efficient
via TrustpilotThe website was easy to use and understand. After I submitted my request for my 5g router, the company reached out to me to confirm delivery address and location. The device arrived on time. Instructions were clear and everything worked perfectly! Very happy with my experience.
via TrustpilotI have an old phone that doesn't support eSim so this solution was perfect for me. The device is tiny and the battery holds a full day. It allowed me to stay connected and have the same experience as my wife who had an eSim. I highly recommend it.
via TrustpilotI've been a customer for years. I really like Sakura Mobile. My most recent interaction was getting their help setting up my new iphone. They were patient and knowledgeable.
via TrustpilotI used their portable Wi-Fi. It had good coverage. I received a quick response from customer service when needed. The process was easy.
via Google ReviewsSakura mobile did an excellent job, and Susheel (customer support) saved from disaster my vacations to Japan. My SIM wasn't working because I had installed a custom ROM, and I feared no one could help me... My only viable way to ask for help was via email, and I feared that the response would be too long.. But they even responded in real time via mail! Please, if you have an error with the SIM, don't fear to contact customer support!! They are truly amazing.
via Google ReviewsSakura Mobile provided excellent support and the fiber service worked great. On the occasions that I had questions, the support team always answered promptly and thoroughly. I would recommend them, especially for those who need English support.
via Google ReviewsExcellent business and internet provider. Very English friendly with clear emails, instructions and communication in English. Simple application for apartment internet with on-going payments unbroken and always timely. Very fast speeds and no connections issues ever after using their service for 2 years. Easy process to return the router etc after and they pay for the postage too. They'll assist you when you move homes too. I really recommend them!
via Google ReviewsHighly recommended! I used Sakura Mobile’s Travel eSIM UNLIMITED Data Plan for a month long trip across the Kansai region and Hokkaido. Everything was great from initial pre-purchase inquiry, purchase, installation and actual coverage. I never had a weak signal which was very important. They provided clear and easy to follow instructions. Competitive pricing plans. Excellent user experience! I’d use Sakura Mobile again! Keep up the great work!
via Google ReviewsSuper easy to order and receive. Never had a single wifi problem. The customer support answers very quickly and kindly. To return the device back, it's also super easy and convenient, no stress involved whatsoever in all the process. I recommend +++
via Google ReviewsI used Sakura Mobile for 2 months and had a very positive experience.
The rental process was straightforward and very easy to complete. Their email support was excellent throughout the entire period, with quick responses that were always helpful and clear.
The device arrived on time as promised, and the internet service worked very well. The return process was also simple and convenient.
Another point I appreciated was that all customer support was provided in English, which made communication smooth and stress-free.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend Sakura Mobile to anyone looking for reliable internet solutions in Japan.
via Google ReviewsExcellent service and value. Customer service and emails are available in English, which made set up and payment very easy. We were able to use a pocket WiFi until installation was scheduled. Returning the equipment was equally easy. Highly recommended!
via Google ReviewsI lived in Japan on JET for 2 years in a semi-rural area. I set up my contract online before arriving in Japan, was so easy literally just picked up the simcard at the hotel for orientation, instantly had data etc. I also travelled a lot to many different parts of Japan during my time there, from cities to very rural valleys. I never had an issue with phone service, it was brilliant. Ending the contract and returning the pocket wifi was really easy too. Highly recommend.
via Google ReviewsStayed in Japan for 3 months so i took the residents plan. Their customer service is top tier, the price is affordable too, would definitely subscribe to them again the next time. Recommended!!
via Google ReviewsI used Sakura Mobile for 5 years while I was living in Tokyo and the service never failed me and the staff were always friendly and responsive to any issues I may have had. Our family moved out of Japan and sadly I departed from Sakura, but I highly recommend to any foreigners who need phone numbers in Japan. I don't speak any Japanese and it was not an issue at all with Sakura. Thank you very much for your excellent service!
via Google ReviewsRented a pocket wifi for 2 weeks to use in Japan and it was amazing. It lasted a full day without it's battery dying and the connection was fast and never failed us
via Google ReviewsThe service, office and people are all professional, friendly, speedy and very capable. Visited the office for pickup. It’s a very comfortable, modern and professional environment, not a flyby night operation. Highly recommend.
via Google ReviewsExcellent customer service. Easy to set up a SIM card. Easy payment options. Simple to cancel contract once I returned to UK
via Google ReviewsI have always found Sakura mobile excellent in every respect and would recommend them highly, especially to foreigners who may not speak much Japanese. It was easy to set up the account and close it down and any queries were always dealt with speedily and professionally. Thank you for eight years of excellent service.
