Quick answer
How do I see Kakaku.com the way a visitor in Japan does?
Kakaku.com is a Japanese price-comparison site: for each product it lists the prices of many shops, ordered from the lowest. Brands and retailers use it to see where their product sits in Japan. To read those public lists as a shopper in Japan does, use a Japanese residential IP. JapanProxies sells them with country code jp, paid in crypto with no KYC. As of October 2026, 1 GB costs $2.62 and plans from 100 GB cost $0.50/GB; IPs are chosen by country, with optional city targeting (city availability varies).

What is Kakaku.com?

What does a Japanese IP not change on Kakaku.com?
- The shops' own prices. Kakaku.com lists what shops publish; the final price is on each shop's site.
- The exact area. City targeting (

What do Kakaku.com's rules say about automated access?
Kakaku.com's robots.txt asks all robots to stay out of its keyword search (/ksearch/), its price-history data (/prdsearch/pricehistory_data/), its sign-in area and its outbound redirects (/jump/). Its terms of use apply to every visit. Open product pages by hand, or very lightly, and leave those paths alone.
For regular data about your own sales channels, ask your resellers for their price feeds. Use a Japanese residential IP to read the public comparison page as a buyer in Japan does.
Our own acceptable use policy applies too: public pages only, no sign-in on someone else's behalf, and respect for each site's decisions about access.

What is Kakaku.com used for?
