JapanProxies, Decodo, DataImpulse and IPRoyal accept crypto; Webshare and Oxylabs do not; Geonode does not state it. Every tier is in the [full Japan price comparison](https://japanproxies.com/compare/japan-residential-proxy-prices/).

## Which Japan proxy should I choose?

The right choice depends on what you need most:

- **You pay in crypto and do not want to send ID:** JapanProxies. DataImpulse also takes crypto at a flat $1.00/GB from 50 GB; both say traffic does not expire.
- **You need ZIP-level targeting in Japan:** Decodo. JapanProxies offers country and city targeting (city availability varies) and ASN targeting, not ZIP.
- **You buy large volumes:** compare Shifter's country-only pool (from $0.48/GB on 13 October 2026) and Geonode, which matches our $0.50/GB at 1 TB and lists lower rates above it. Other providers list lower per-GB rates at several volumes; we do not claim to be the cheapest.
- **You are a company with a compliance process:** Oxylabs and Bright Data publish benchmarks and controls, after KYC.

## What do the benchmarks say about Japan?

AIMultiple's Japan benchmark, updated in June 2026, sent one request every 10 minutes per provider to targets that include amazon.co.jp, Rakuten, Yahoo! JAPAN Shopping, Mercari and Yahoo! JAPAN Search, from the EU West region. It found that Apify, Decodo and Oxylabs performed similarly on success rate, and that Webshare and DataImpulse showed lower success rates. JapanProxies was not in that test, and we publish no success-rate figures of our own: test your own targets with 1 GB first.

## Questions about Japan proxy providers

### Which Japan residential proxy accepts crypto with no KYC?

JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and asks for no ID, selfie or documents. Decodo, DataImpulse and IPRoyal also accept crypto, but their KYC rules differ: IPRoyal uses identity verification for unrestricted access. Oxylabs takes no crypto and asks every customer to answer a KYC questionnaire.

### Which provider offers Tokyo or Osaka targeting?

JapanProxies includes city targeting on every plan (`-city-tokyo`, `-city-osaka`; city availability varies). Decodo (ZIP-level, per AIMultiple) and Oxylabs (several Japanese cities, per Proxyway) also offer location targeting inside Japan.

### Is the cheapest Japan proxy the best?

A low per-GB rate is only one part of the cost: a high minimum, monthly expiry or weak results on your targets can make it the dearer choice. Our comparison is a dated sample of 8 providers, read on 13 October 2026; other providers sell for less at some volumes, and prices change often. Test your own targets first.

### Why is JapanProxies ranked first?

JapanProxies ranks first on this page's single criterion, Japanese residential IPs paid in crypto without KYC, and, as the publisher, says so in the methodology. Every competitor fact on the page is sourced and dated 13 October 2026.

### Are any of these providers linked to the IPIDEA or NetNut networks?

None of the seven other providers on this page is among the brands Google named in its January 2026 IPIDEA action, and NetNut, disrupted in July 2026, is not listed. Not being named does not prove a clean supply chain: Google did not name the brands that resell NetNut's network. For JapanProxies's own supply, our upstream provider confirms that device owners opt in and can opt out, and that its supply does not come from seized or disrupted networks such as NetNut or IPIDEA; see [where our IPs come from](https://japanproxies.com/sourcing/).
