TOKYO - July 25, 2023 - Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (TSE Prime: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced the availability of a new 6GB (30 days) version of its Japan Travel SIM, a prepaid SIM card providing mobile data communication service to people staying in Japan temporarily. Offering twice the capacity of earlier products, the new version goes on sale today at approximately 570 outlets throughout Japan, including electronics stores and airport shops.

Japan Travel SIM is sold as a package containing a multi-size three-in-one SIM card (for standard, micro, and nano sizes) with preset data communication capacity. Simply by inserting the SIM card in a SIM lock-free mobile device or Wi-Fi router and performing the necessary setup in the device, customers are able to enjoy mobile data communication in Japan throughout the nationwide NTT DOCOMO 4G (LTE) and 3G service areas. Timed with the recent increase in visitors to Japan from abroad, the new 6GB (30 days) version is offered in addition to the existing 3GB (30 days) version, for those with greater data communication needs while in Japan.
