Japan eSIM FAQ
Is 10 GB enough for two weeks in Japan?
It can be enough for maps, messaging, browsing and moderate social use. Streaming or laptop tethering can require significantly more.

Installation before departure is convenient, but check whether the provider starts validity at installation or on first network connection.
