Quick answer
What are Japan and East Asia residential proxies used for?
JapanProxies residential IPs in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong let teams see local pages as local people see them: search results on Google, Yahoo! JAPAN and Naver, their own ads and landing pages, public prices on shopping sites, and the localized version of their own site or app. Every use must follow our acceptable use policy. Plans start at $2.62 for 1 GB, paid in crypto, no KYC.

Local site checks
16 guides for specific sites: what changes with a local IP, what the site's rules allow, and the settings to use.
What do these use cases have in common?
They all answer one question: what does a person in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Hong Kong see on this page? The pages involved are public, the checks are made signed out, and the pace is close to what a person would do.
They also share a rule: when a site offers an official route to the data, such as Google Search Console, the Rakuten Ichiba Item Search API or Naver's search APIs, use it first. A residential IP is for the part that official tools do not show: the live page in its local context.
What are East Asian residential IPs not for?
Our acceptable use policy forbids, among other things:
- fraud, spam, phishing and attacks on any system;
- signing in to services on someone else's behalf, or operating many identities on a platform;
- collecting personal information without a legal basis under APPI, PIPA, Taiwan's PDPA or Hong Kong's PDPO;
- ticket buying bots and automated purchases;
- reaching services that the law of your location prohibits, or getting into systems you are not allowed to use.
Banking, government and payment-portal sites and SMTP ports are blocked at the gateway.
Use case questions
Which use case needs the most traffic?
Public price monitoring, because it loads many product pages. Search and ad checks load few pages but often in a full browser, which counts images and scripts. Measure a few loads of your own targets before you pick a plan; 1 GB costs $2.62.
Do I need a dedicated mobile port for these checks?
Rarely. Residential traffic covers search, price and most ad checks. A dedicated 4G/5G port, from $5.93 per day, helps when a test must come from a mobile carrier network, such as an in-app ad shown only on mobile data.
Can an agency use one account for several clients?
Yes. One balance and one plan can serve several clients and countries; keep each client's checks in separate sessions so the results do not mix.
Is my use case allowed?
If it involves public pages, your own services or your own campaigns, and respects each site's terms, it usually is. If you are unsure, write to [email protected] before you buy.
