sim card for HK and Japan
is there any sim card that works for both places? or is it better to buy it separately.

For Japan, I got a free SIM with 500MB LTE data when been there last year. This is their website. https://www.wamazing.jp/ The caught is they are targeting HK and Taiwanese residents and need to install their app. The app is in Chinese only, so you need to understand Chinese or having a Chinese friend; and you also need to have a iOS/google account registered in HK/TW region in order to download the app.
Before my flight to Japan, I downloaded the app, registered with my CC info (for authorization only, they did not charge any YEN at the end). Then I arrived at the airport in Japan and picked up the SIM at the Vending machine right outside the security area.

I use HappySim while I was traveling in SE Asia this past year.
You can easily get them in the street stalls in HKG Shum Shui Po district. This sim can be used in both HKG and JPN. You may also be able to order these online.
The acutal company is from StarHub and the sim for roaming is called HappyRoam.

Buy them separately. Been to both several times. It's cheaper to buy them separately. NRT and HND have great options through Softbank.
Don't be a cooch.

Which one is that? I was in HK for a week earlier this year and I got a 5GB card. It wasn't enough. I used up all of my data by my 5th day. I decided it wasn't worth the money to top up with data and used Telus' Easy Roam feature to finish my last two days.

I entered at Nagoya airport. They also have machine at KIX airport (https://www.wamazing.jp/yatais/54) but it is at T1. If you are taking airline like Peach which will use T2, you will have to go back to Arrival floor at T1 for the machine after taking the shuttle bus for the train station plaza (https://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/en/access/t2).

Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you. I just walked up to a stall in Sham Shui Po and picked up a SIM. It was labeled as NTT and worked as such. It was a blank sim card with no markings.Sgt_Strider wrote: ↑ Which one is that? I was in HK for a week earlier this year and I got a 5GB card. It wasn't enough.
