かけ放題 / unlimited calls
In Japan, the term かけ放題 (kake-hōdai) refers to phone plans offering unlimited calls for a fixed monthly fee. It's a combination of かける (to make a call) and 放題 (all-you-can-use), a common suffix for unlimited services.
Whether you're chatting with friends, handling business calls, or staying connected with family, かけ放題 removes the worry of per-minute charges. It’s a convenient and cost-effective option in a country where communication matters.
From dining (食べ放題) to travel passes, Japan loves the 放題 concept—offering freedom, simplicity, and great value.
