  I'm sharing my favorite Japanese products here.

1. Access to Japanese Network:

If you're traveling to Japan or have a specific need for a Japanese phone number, purchasing a Japanese eSIM allows you to access the local network without the need for a physical SIM card.

2. Convenience: Buying an eSIM online is often more convenient than purchasing a physical SIM card, especially if you need immediate access to a Japanese phone number.

3. Remote Activation: eSIMs can be activated remotely, eliminating the need to physically insert or replace a physical SIM card. This can be particularly useful for those who are not in Japan but need a Japanese phone number.

4. Flexible Plans: Some eSIM providers offer flexible data plans, allowing you to choose the amount of data you need for your specific usage, whether it's for a short-term stay or an extended period.

As for alternatives or similar items to buy:

1. Physical SIM Cards: If you prefer a traditional approach, you can buy a physical SIM card upon arriving in Japan. Many airports, convenience stores, and mobile carrier shops offer SIM cards for tourists.

2. Pocket Wi-Fi Devices: Instead of buying a SIM card, you might consider renting or purchasing a pocket Wi-Fi device. These devices provide Wi-Fi connectivity for multiple devices and can be a convenient option for those who don't need a specific phone number.

3. Global Roaming Plans: Check with your existing mobile carrier to see if they offer international roaming plans that include Japan. This could save you the hassle of getting a separate SIM card or eSIM.

If you have a local friend in Japan, obtaining a Japanese eSIM or similar items can be made easier in the following ways:

1. Local Recommendations: Your friend can provide recommendations on reputable eSIM providers or where to buy physical SIM cards in Japan.

2. Assistance with Activation: Having a local friend can be helpful if the activation process requires any local knowledge or if there are language barriers.

3. Local Deals and Discounts: Your friend might be aware of any local deals, discounts, or promotions that could save you money when obtaining a Japanese eSIM or related items.

4. Shipping Assistance: If you need a physical item shipped to you, your local friend can assist with coordinating shipping and ensure that the item reaches you securely.

While having a local friend can be beneficial, it's important to consider the specific requirements of your situation and ensure that the chosen option aligns with your needs and preferences.
