Oxylabs ranks well in 2026 Japan and Korea benchmarks, but every customer must answer a KYC questionnaire and it does not take crypto. If either is a problem, here is how the two compare.

**Quick answer — What is an Oxylabs alternative for Japanese residential proxies without KYC?**

**JapanProxies** is an Oxylabs alternative for residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong without KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents, and payment in crypto. Oxylabs states that every customer has to answer a KYC questionnaire, and it does not accept crypto. JapanProxies charges $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB; Oxylabs listed $6.00/GB on its smallest monthly plan on 13 October 2026.

## Why do people look for an Oxylabs alternative in Japan?

Three differences matter most for small checks in East Asia:

- **KYC.** Oxylabs' KYC page says the requirement "applies to all customers" and that "every customer has to answer a KYC questionnaire to get access to our solutions".
- **Payment.** Oxylabs' pricing page lists cards, wire transfers and PayPal among its payment methods, and says "We do not accept Bitcoins" (read 14 October 2026).
- **Entry cost.** The smallest residential plan is $30 per month for 5 GB, and Oxylabs' self-service agreement lets you use purchased traffic for the remainder of the subscription period.

For occasional checks of Japanese or Korean sites, those three points can matter more than benchmark results.

## When should I stay with Oxylabs?

- **You need city targeting backed by benchmark data.** Oxylabs' Japanese city targeting was covered in 2026 reviews; JapanProxies offers city targeting too, but city availability varies and we publish no benchmark.
- **You want measured performance.** Oxylabs was in AIMultiple's Japan and Korea benchmarks; JapanProxies was not, and we publish no success-rate figures.
- **Your company prefers a vendor with a KYC process**, contracts and card or invoice billing.

If none of these apply, a smaller, crypto-paid plan may fit better.

## How do I switch a Japanese or Korean setup?

1. Buy a JapanProxies plan and copy the username and password.
2. Point your client at `gw.japanproxies.com:7777` for HTTP/HTTPS, or port 7778 for SOCKS5.
3. Put the country in the username: `-country-jp`, `-country-kr`, `-country-tw` or `-country-hk`.
4. For a sticky session, add `-session-ID-ttl-MINUTES` (the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline).
5. Replace city parameters with `-city-NAME`, such as `-city-osaka`; city availability varies.

Test with 1 GB on your own targets before you move a whole project.
