That was Japan calling! +81 is Japan\u2019s country code \u2013 a unique identifier that shows where in the world a number belongs. Every country has one!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But +81 isn\u2019t the only significant number when it comes to Japan phone numbers. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you some of the most important numbers within the numbers, and why having a real Japanese phone number is so important when you visit or move to Japan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Japan Phone Number Example <\/h3>\n<p>Japanese phone numbers are split into a few different sections. These are a little different depending on whether it\u2019s a mobile number or a landline number.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re dialling a Japanese phone number from outside Japan, you should always start with <b>+81 <\/b>\u2013 international dialling code for Japan. If you\u2019re in Japan, you can use <b>0<\/b> instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next numbers in a Japanese phone number are either the area code (if it\u2019s a landline number), or the <b>mobile prefix <\/b>(if it\u2019s a mobile number).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-1-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"Japan phone Number Guide.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-1-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-1-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-1-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the numbers are unique to the Japan phone number you\u2019re dialling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some top Japanese area codes:<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">City<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Area Code<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Tokyo<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Osaka<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Yokohama<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Sapporo<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">Kyoto<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid black;\">75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-2-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"Japan Phone Number, regional map.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-2-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-2-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-2-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Phone-Number-Guide-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>The mobile prefixes in Japanese cell phone numbers are 070, 080 and 090. 090 is the OG mobile prefix in Japan. It was introduced first, so it\u2019s seen as prestigious and desirable to have a phone number that starts with that. 080 is much more common, and has been widely used for a number of years now. 070 is the most recent addition, so you\u2019re more likely to see that as part of phone numbers being used by the younger generation! In late 2024, Japan\u2019s mobile networks reported that they were running out of phone numbers \u2013 that means that Japan is now preparing to introduce a new mobile prefix \u2013 you guessed it&#8230; 060!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>0063 \u2013 The Magic Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re already in Japan, the numbers <b>0063 <\/b>may already be dear to your heart. Why? Because if you use Mobal for your Japanese phone service, adding 0063 to the start of the number you\u2019re dialling from Japan means that you get cheaper rates for international calls!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Calls from Japanese Mobal numbers to countries like Australia, the US and the UK (plus many more!) cost just 26% of the price that standard international calls would cost \u2013 so it\u2019s worth adding it to the numbers of your most-used contacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Need a Japanese Phone Number, Even If You\u2019re Just Visiting <\/h2>\n<p>Surely Japanese phone numbers are just for people who live there, right? Unfortunately, it\u2019s not so simple!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Japan is full of surprises for visitors \u2013 most of them good ones, but some less so! Many tourists are shocked to find that to use many food delivery apps, make reservations, or even book concert tickets, the service they\u2019re using in Japan will only work if it\u2019s able to send an SMS message for verification&#8230; and it\u2019ll only accept a Japanese phone number!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Getting a phone number from a traditional Japanese network is a lengthy and complicated process, and it\u2019s often only open to those who\u2019ve been in the country for several months. Luckily, you can <b>use Mobal<\/b> instead! Mobal offer great value <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/japan-sim-card\/#buysim\">Voice SIMs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/japan-esims\/#buysim\">eSIMs<\/a>, with same-day pickup available all over Japan (so you can get yourself a phone number before the tickets you\u2019re trying to buy sell out!). All Mobal\u2019s Voice SIMs and eSIMs include unlimited incoming SMS too \u2013 perfect for those verification messages. There\u2019s no minimum contract or termination fees, and the first month is always the cheapest \u2013 meaning it\u2019s perfect for long-term residents and tourists alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Emergency
