## Can I target a city in Japan?

Any Japanese city can be requested with `-city-NAME` after `-country-jp`; city availability varies, and the checkout shows what is online. Two cities have their own page:

- **[Tokyo](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/tokyo/)** — NTT East, KDDI, SoftBank and NURO homes; local listings, Tokyo-targeted ads and app checks.
- **[Osaka](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/osaka/)** — NTT West and eo Hikari homes; Kansai campaigns, local listings and regional pages.

## What is a Japan residential proxy?

A Japan residential proxy is a server that forwards your request through the internet connection of a home in Japan. The website you open sees an IP address registered to a Japanese internet provider, the kind of address a person browsing from home in Japan has.

This matters because Japanese sites build their pages for local visitors. Google Japan and Yahoo! JAPAN rank Japanese pages and show local listings and ads; Rakuten Ichiba and Amazon.co.jp show prices in yen, delivery messages and offers for Japan. From a foreign IP, or from a hosting company's IP, you often see a different page.

JapanProxies is a residential proxy provider for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japan is our main market, and the code `jp` works on every plan.

## Which internet providers do Japanese residential IPs belong to?

Most homes in Japan connect by fibre. A large share of those lines run on NTT East and NTT West's FLET'S Hikari network, resold by many internet providers such as OCN, So-net and BIGLOBE. Other large fibre services include KDDI's au Hikari, SoftBank Hikari and Sony Network Communications' NURO Hikari.

An exit IP belongs to whichever provider serves the home behind it, and a WHOIS lookup shows that provider. JapanProxies does not let you choose the provider and does not publish a breakdown of its Japanese IPs by network. If your work needs one specific provider or one fixed address, a static ISP product from another provider fits better.

## What can I check with a Japan residential IP?

Typical legitimate jobs, each with its own guide:

- **Search results.** Your rankings on [Google Japan](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/google-japan/) and [Yahoo! JAPAN Search](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/yahoo-japan-search/), which uses Google's search technology but sells its own ads.
- **Public prices.** Your products and comparable ones on [Rakuten Ichiba](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/rakuten-ichiba/), [Amazon.co.jp](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/amazon-japan/) and [Kakaku.com](https://japanproxies.com/local-checks/kakaku-com/).
- **Ads.** Whether your campaigns in Japan show the right text and landing page: see [ad verification](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/ad-verification/).
- **Localization.** Whether your Japanese site or app shows yen prices, Japanese text and the right legal notices: see [localization testing](https://japanproxies.com/use-cases/localization-testing/).

Check public pages, signed out, at a human pace, and follow each site's terms.

## What do I get after paying for Japan proxies?

Your credentials appear in the dashboard as soon as the plan is bought. The proxy generator builds a ready-to-copy list with `-country-jp` in each username, in rotating or sticky mode. Real pages, demo data; see [how to check us before you pay](https://japanproxies.com/trust/).

## How do I set up a Japan residential proxy?

1. Buy a plan, then copy your username and password from the dashboard.
2. Add `-country-jp` to the username. Add `-session-ID-ttl-30` if one task must keep the same IP for 30 minutes.
3. Point your browser, script or tool at `gw.japanproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5).
4. Open an IP-check page to confirm the country is JP, then load your target. Send `Accept-Language: ja-JP` if you want Japanese pages.

The [setup guide](https://japanproxies.com/guides/setup/) has examples for curl, Python, Node.js, Playwright and browsers.

*Python (requests): a Japanese sticky session*

```python
import requests

# Same session ID = same Japanese IP for up to 30 minutes
proxy = "http://USERNAME-country-jp-session-jp001-ttl-30:PASSWORD@gw.japanproxies.com:7777"
proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}
headers = {"Accept-Language": "ja-JP,ja;q=0.9"}

print(requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies=proxies, timeout=30).json()["country"])  # JP
r = requests.get("https://www.rakuten.co.jp/", proxies=proxies, headers=headers, timeout=30)
print(r.status_code, len(r.content))
```

## How do I pay for Japan proxies from Japan?

JapanProxies accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a $25 top-up. Buyers in Japan can pay with BTC or ETH bought on a crypto exchange registered with the Financial Services Agency. USDC has been available in Japan since March 2025, through SBI VC Trade.

Since June 2023, Japanese exchanges apply the travel rule: before a withdrawal they may ask who receives it and why. Answer accurately: you are paying ProxyGoat LLC, a US company, for a proxy service. The [crypto payment guide](https://japanproxies.com/pay-with-crypto/) explains networks, fees and confirmation times.

## Is it legal to use a residential proxy in Japan?

We found no Japanese law that makes using a proxy an offence in itself; what matters is what you do through it. Three rules come up most often:

- The **Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)** applies when you handle personal information of people in Japan, including from abroad.
- The **Unauthorized Computer Access Act** prohibits using someone else's ID and password, or exploiting security flaws, to get into a system.
- **Each website's terms** still apply, and a proxy does not change them.

This is general information, not legal advice. Our [guide to proxy rules in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong](https://japanproxies.com/guides/proxy-laws-east-asia/) has the sources.

## Do you sell static proxies or dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan?

We do not sell static residential or ISP proxies in Japan. Sticky sessions (up to 30 minutes) cover tasks that need one IP for a while.

We do sell dedicated 4G/5G ports in Japan: one modem with a local carrier SIM, reserved for you, for $5.93 per day or $89.25 per 30 days with unlimited data under fair use. They are listed on the [pricing page](https://japanproxies.com/pricing/). For most search, price and ad checks, residential traffic is enough and costs less.

## Japan residential proxies: FAQ

### What is the best Japan residential proxy for crypto payment?

JapanProxies is a Japan residential proxy built for crypto payment without KYC: Japanese home-broadband IPs from $2.62 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 100 GB, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a $25 top-up. Other providers may suit other needs, such as ZIP-level targeting or very large volumes; our [2026 ranking](https://japanproxies.com/best/japan-residential-proxies-2026/) compares them on the same criteria.

### Can I target Tokyo or Osaka?

JapanProxies offers city targeting in Japan on every plan: add `-city-tokyo` or `-city-osaka` after `-country-jp` in the username. You get an IP in that city when the pool has one online there; city availability varies, and Google and other sites may still infer a nearby area. To prefer one home network, add its ASN, such as `-asn-4713` for NTT OCN, at no extra cost. If one city matters, test it with 1 GB first; the [Tokyo](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/tokyo/) and [Osaka](https://japanproxies.com/residential-proxies/japan/osaka/) pages explain local providers and checks.

### Is a Japan residential proxy the same as a Japan proxy shopping service?

A Japan residential proxy is a network service, not a shopping service: your own software connects through a home internet connection in Japan. Japan proxy shopping services buy goods from Japanese stores and ship them abroad; JapanProxies does not buy or ship goods.

### Why does my Japanese IP show another city, or another country?

IP location databases are built from registration and measurement data, and they can be wrong or out of date. Japanese home IPs are sometimes placed in Tokyo whatever their real region. Check the country with two databases; see [why a proxy shows the wrong location](https://japanproxies.com/guides/check-proxy-location/).

### Do Japanese sites block residential proxies?

Sites can block or challenge any traffic they consider automated, whatever the IP type. Slow, human-paced checks of public pages rarely cause problems. If a site refuses access on purpose, a different IP does not make that access allowed; respect its decision.

### Can I pay in yen?

JapanProxies does not accept yen: it accepts crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Prices are in US dollars.

### How much traffic does a Japanese page use?

A Rakuten or Amazon.co.jp product page loaded in a browser often uses one to five megabytes with images; the HTML alone is far lighter. Measure a few loads of your own targets with 1 GB before you choose a plan.

### Is there a free trial for Japan?

No free trial — test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest stays on your balance, never expires and is not paid back, except where the law requires it.
