Avoid NTT Docomo roaming fees
JapanDocomo's own published example charges ¥125 per minute for calls home from South Korea, and its data travel passes don't cover voice at all. QuikRing is the same simple rate everywhere: about $0.02/min over Wi-Fi, no per-country lookup required.
The daily pass bill shock trap
Docomo doesn't publish one flat international roaming rate — its own page gives Korea as a worked example (¥125/min to Japan) and points elsewhere to a per-country tool for other destinations, including the US.
Daily pass: Sekai Sono Mama Giga / Sekai Giga Shihoudai data passes — data only, don't cover calls
How to avoid the daily fee
Skip the per-country rate lookup — connect to Wi-Fi and call through QuikRing in your browser instead of your Docomo SIM.
Standard out-of-plan rate: ¥125 per minute calling Japan from South Korea (Docomo's own published example; rates vary by destination and its site directs customers to a per-country lookup tool for others)

Frequently asked questions
Do Docomo's travel data passes cover phone calls?
No. Sekai Sono Mama Giga and Sekai Giga Shihoudai are data-only. Voice calls are billed separately per minute, and the rate depends on which country you're calling from.
