When I moved to Tokyo for a study program last year, sorting out all my paperwork and administrative tasks felt pretty overwhelming at first. Having reliable connectivity right when you step off the plane makes filling out forms and navigating the train system way easier. Before leaving home, I looked up How to get a Japanese Phone Number before moving to Japan? https://www.mobal.com/blog/travel-talk/the-japanese-phone-number-and-why-you-might-need-one/ and found this really helpful article explaining all the steps. I also grabbed Mobal pocket wifi for instant setup, which kept my devices online everywhere. My time in Japan was absolutely amazing and I genuinely miss the local lifestyle.
