Can I set up the Personal Hotspot APN before arriving in Japan?

🅰️ Yes, you can.
We recommend completing the APN settings before departure, so you can use the Personal Hotspot function immediately after arriving in Japan.

⚠️ However, our SIM/eSIM products use Japanese local mobile networks and are not international roaming products. Therefore, they cannot connect to the Japanese Docomo network while you are outside Japan. Even if the APN settings have been completed, you will not be able to confirm whether the settings are successful or test the Personal Hotspot function overseas.

📌 In short:
✔ You can set up the APN before traveling.
✔ You can use it after arriving in Japan.
❌ You cannot test whether the APN settings are working while outside Japan.

This is a normal situation. Please test the connection after arriving in Japan and connecting to the mobile network.
