Best Japan eSIM Plans for Canadian Travellers
Why buy a eSIM Japan? You land at Narita after a 9-hour flight, ready to explore Tokyo. But your Canadian carrier wants $12 per day for roaming - that's $168 for two weeks! Plus you get barely 1GB daily before they throttle your speed. Thousands of Canadian travellers face bill shock when using their home carrier in Japan, but there's a smarter way to stay connected.
