In daily life in Japan, communication costs are a fixed monthly expense that significantly impacts household finances. Especially for foreigners new to Japan’s communication services, complex pricing plans can be difficult to understand and often cause anxiety. However, Rakuten Mobile’s “Rakuten Saikyo Plan” resolves your communication cost concerns with its simplicity and outstanding cost performance.
The pricing structure of the “Rakuten Saikyo Plan” is very clear. It adopts a tiered system where the monthly fee changes according to data usage: up to 3GB per month is 1,078 yen (tax included), and over 3GB up to 20GB is 2,178 yen (tax included). Furthermore, if you exceed 20GB, you can use unlimited data for a maximum of 3,278 yen (tax included) per month, no matter how much data you consume. This allows you to use the optimal plan without waste, whether your data usage is high or low, greatly reducing worries about charges.
Additionally, a major feature of Rakuten Mobile is its call service using the dedicated “Rakuten Link” app. If you make calls from the “Rakuten Link” app, domestic calls within Japan are completely free 24 hours a day. You can enjoy conversations to your heart’s content without any concern for call charges, whether it’s for contacting new friends or colleagues, making restaurant reservations, or handling emergencies.
This mechanism of unlimited data and free domestic calls is possible because Rakuten Mobile utilizes its own independently developed communication network. With few complex discount conditions or long-term contract ties, the Rakuten Saikyo Plan is an optimal choice for foreigners who want to use Japan’s communication services simply, affordably, and comfortably.
