Pocket Wi-Fi devices are designed for use in Japan, allowing communication throughout the country. In contrast, when using eSIM or SIM cards for communication in Japan, the smartphone must support all frequencies used in Japan. While communication is possible in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, there are cases where communication is not available in places like Okinawa. This is not due to issues with eSIM or SIM cards but rather compatibility issues with the smartphone's supported frequency bands. If you are concerned about such issues, renting a Pocket Wi-Fi may be a better option.
eSIM and SIM cards are designed to be used with a single smartphone, so typical data capacities range from 10GB to 30GB. On the other hand, Pocket Wi-Fi devices are designed to connect multiple devices to the internet, so they typically offer larger data plans.

Setting up APN settings is necessary for using SIM cards or eSIMs for communication in Japan. Especially for eSIMs, downloading and installing eSIMs in Japan is required. This process involves some effort. However, Pocket Wi-Fi allows communication simply by turning on the power, eliminating the need for time-consuming setup procedures. Very easy to Use!
