Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

Japan has no firewall or app-blocking issues, so any eSIM with Japan data (a global roaming eSIM or a Japan-specific one) works normally the moment you land — a useful backup since the free terminal wifi is unencrypted.

Insider tip

Registration asks for an email address and requires accepting NTT Broadband Platform's terms; since the connection isn't encrypted, avoid logging into anything sensitive over it and use a VPN or your own data if you need to.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.

eSIM for Japan

Skip the SIM card queue. Activate a data plan before you land and connect the moment you arrive in Sapporo.
