What Vision does

Vision Inc. (株式会社ビジョン) is a Tokyo-headquartered, Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market-listed (Securities Code: 9416) information and communications services provider organized into three segments: Global WiFi, Information and Communications, and Glamping & Tourism. The Global WiFi segment is the revenue and brand anchor, renting mobile WiFi routers and increasingly distributing eSIM connectivity to Japanese outbound travelers across 200+ countries/territories via tiered usage-based pricing (from 300 yen/day for low-tier 3G to 4G/5G unlimited plans), while the NINJA WiFi and WiFi Rental Dot Com brands serve inbound international visitors to Japan; technology is centered on a proprietary Cloud SIM stack that auto-selects optimal local carrier networks on a single device and an IoT-based Smart Pickup locker system for 24/7 contactless airport handover.

The Information and Communications segment bundles B2B telecom (BIZIPHONE corporate mobile, HIKARI DENWA optical phone lines, Denwa Kanyuken phone-line rights, Copycom office equipment) with SaaS and BPO tools targeted at Japanese SMBs — including VWS workflow, tele-receptionist call answering, JANDI business SNS, meet-in video meetings, and Vision Crafts! website builder (3,980-4,980 yen/month). Distribution is hybrid: 18+ owned airport counters in Japan plus overseas pickup/return offices in Singapore, Seoul, Taiwan, Honolulu, and Los Angeles, a call center with freephone 0120-322-440 and multilingual video interpretation in 12+ languages, and direct digital storefronts (townwifi.com, ninjawifi.com, wifi-rental.com). The smaller Glamping & Tourism segment operates VISION GLAMPING Resort & Spa facilities in Kagoshima and Yamanakako plus the KO SHI KA skincare line derived from on-site hot spring water.

Reported FY2025 consolidated revenue was 39,012 million yen with net income of 4,522 million yen (vs. 3,375 million yen in FY2024), on a 10-year revenue CAGR of approximately 12%. The customer base spans millions of individual travelers (10M+ cumulative users as of February 2019) and a long tail of Japanese SMB and enterprise accounts, with no single anchor customer disclosed; enterprise travelers are addressed via the Global WiFi for Biz cloud-router subscription (1,970 yen/rental monthly base fee). The company won Tokyo Shoko Research No.1 market share in overseas WiFi rental for three consecutive years (2016-2018) and has been recognized for CRM Best Practices for eight consecutive years (2012-2019).

Emerging players

• MobiMatter: Aggregator marketplace for travel eSIM and data plans. Comparable to Vision's Global WiFi and eSIM business as a digital distribution channel for international traveler connectivity.
• Knowroaming: Travel eSIM and roaming provider for international travelers. Comparable to Vision's WORLD ESIM and Cloud SIM offerings, focused on a niche global traveler segment rather than a full enterprise platform.

Direct peers

• Airalo: Global eSIM marketplace offering digital data plans in 200+ countries. Directly comparable to Vision's Global WiFi and WORLD ESIM, addressing the same international-travel connectivity pain point with a digital-only model that competes against Vision's hardware-rental approach.
• GigSky: Global eSIM and mobile connectivity platform targeting travelers and IoT. Comparable to Vision's eSIM and Cloud SIM enterprise offerings, particularly for international business-travel use cases.
• Ubigi (Transatel): Global eSIM provider under Transatel focused on connected-car and consumer travel connectivity. Comparable to Vision's WORLD ESIM and Cloud SIM enterprise offerings, especially in the European and enterprise travel segments.
• Holafly: Travel eSIM provider offering unlimited and fixed data plans across many countries. Competes head-to-head with Vision's unlimited 5G plans, targeting the same international traveler segment with an asset-light digital model.
• WirelessGate: Japanese WiFi rental and mobile connectivity provider for travelers and events. Closest domestic direct competitor to Global WiFi, sharing the same airport-distribution and traveler-rental value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• NTT Communications: Large Japanese telecom incumbent providing enterprise communications, cloud, and global connectivity. Overlaps with Vision's B2B telecom, broadband, and office-automation offerings for Japanese SMBs and enterprises.
• SoftBank Corp. Major Japanese telecom carrier offering global roaming, travel WiFi rental, and SMB telecom services. A broad incumbent whose travel-WiFi and SMB telecom bundles overlap with Vision's Global WiFi and Information & Communications segments.

Regional players
