I read the following from the website:
*For Seniors and SuperRoam10: Brunei, Cambodia, India, Japan, Laos, Macau, Myanmar, Philippines are included in the Global (60+ countries Roaming)
I am on a Seniors Plan, does it mean that I will have 3GB when I roam in Japan? Anybody tried? Is that enough for casual usage?

If it rolls over for a few months, you will have more than 3GB to use.

Thank you for all the replies. I will be going there for 8 days, so I presume that should be enough.

Just enjoy Japan with the 3GB - as long as don't watch excessively YouTube data is sufficient.

If exceed your wallet will be used to top up & it is very affordable.

How many days in Japan? If 3GB for a week, light usage possible.

You'll be in Japan! Get your face out of your phone and enjoy your trip!

Also, download maps/videos/songs/e-books ahead of time over Wi-Fi, use Wi-Fi where you have the option (hotels, coffee shops, etc.), turn on "low data mode," stream less audio and video (and adjust video quality to 480p or less), use WhatsApp and FaceTime audio instead of video, disable automatic e-mail attachment downloads, turn off automatic video playback in social media apps, disable photo library and other "cloud" syncing over mobile data, don't install apps or operating system updates over mobile data (and turn off automatic updating over mobile data).... In short, learn how to be a data sipper instead of a data glutton.

3GB when you are on the road using GPS, Google Maps or just googling for information is definitely enough.

Most cafe and Shinkansen have wifi if that's where you are doing your casual web browsing.
Connected to wifi when back in hotel to upload photos.

Happy holidays.

Edit:
Yes, tried before :)
And if you are traveling next month or later, your Senior plan will have more then 3GB due to rollover data.
