Japan proxies: Japanese IPs with rotation and sticky

A line with the JP geo exits through home connections of Japanese subscribers: Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten and Mercari see a shopper from Tokyo or Osaka. Rotation for catalogs and search results, sticky for accounts. The T1-Zone package gives you unlimited traffic, and Japan is among its 33 countries. A test gigabyte costs $1.

  • JP geo in the line
  • Rotation and sticky
  • Unlimited in T1-Zone
  • $1 test

Three ways to get Japanese addresses

The choice depends on the job: you need only this country, you need traffic with no meter, or you need a pool where Japan comes with other countries. Compare the terms and start with a test.

FLEX-Traffic

Country set when creating lines

In the dashboard choose Japan, the session type and the protocol, and the list gives you up to 1,000 lines at a time. The gigabytes of an order are shared across all countries, with no cap on threads or speed.

  • Rotation: a new IP in Japan on every request
  • Sticky: one address while the subscriber is online
  • From $0.55 per GB, test gigabyte for $1
  • Login and password access from any IP

How country lines work

T1-Zone

Unlimited traffic, 33 countries

A GEO-Zone package with a separate pool of up to 3,000 addresses: the USA, Canada, Western and Northern Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and the Gulf states. The list comes with a country column, and you filter the Japanese lines.

  • Traffic with no meter, 1,000 to 2,000 threads
  • Test hour $1, day $15, 30 days $100
  • IP binding and money-back as in MIX
  • The live pool is below the ceiling: fewer addresses at local night

What GEO-Zone is

MIX packages

Worldwide pool, Japan among the countries

MIX-Basic, MIX-Business and MIX-Elite are gathered from all over the world. You do not pick a country when ordering, but each address in the CSV list has a country column, so Japanese lines filter out in a second.

  • Unlimited traffic, 500 to 9,900 threads
  • Test hour $1, 30 days from $50
  • Fits when you need Japan alongside other countries

Regions and cities of Japan

A FLEX line selects the whole country. Greater Tokyo with Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba has almost 37 million people, and another 19 million live in Kansai around Osaka. Most addresses come from there.

Japan: what to know before you start

Where the Japanese live

The country lives on the Pacific Belt from Tokyo to Fukuoka: three megalopolises, Greater Tokyo, Kansai with Osaka and Kobe, and Chūkyō with Nagoya, hold more than half of the population. Hokkaido in the north and Okinawa in the south live their own lives, and mountain prefectures such as Tottori and Shimane are losing residents.

Internet and providers

More than 90% of residents are online, and FTTH fiber became the norm back in the 2000s. Home internet runs on NTT with its FLET’S network and providers such as OCN and So-net, plus KDDI, SoftBank and J:COM, and mobile networks are NTT Docomo, au, SoftBank and Rakuten Mobile. Sites treat the home address of such a subscriber as an ordinary visitor.

Language, time and prices

The language is Japanese, sites serve the ja-JP version, and English is not available everywhere. One time zone, UTC+9, with no daylight saving time. Prices are in yen, and seven-digit postal codes like 100-0001 drive delivery calculations.

What people collect through Japanese proxies

Prices, stock, delivery and search results on Japanese sites depend on the visitor's address. Below are typical jobs and the line to start with.

Amazon.co.jp and Rakuten

Prices and delivery

The country's two main marketplaces show prices and delivery times to a Japanese shopper. Rotation collects the catalog, and the postal code is set on the site.

FLEX, rotation

Mercari and Yahoo! Auctions

Classifieds and auctions

The largest platforms for private sales and auctions. Collection with rotation, bids, posting and messaging under sticky.

FLEX, rotation

Kakaku.com

Price comparison

The main electronics price aggregator shows offers from Japanese stores. Rotation gets around the request limit from one IP.

FLEX, rotation

Google.co.jp and Yahoo! Japan

Rankings and search results

Results for Japan with the gl=jp and hl=ja parameters, while Yahoo! Japan has its own. For bulk rank checks, unlimited T1-Zone fits well.

T1-Zone

SUUMO and HOME’S

Real estate

Rentals and sales by prefecture and station. Rotation for listings, and the district is set in the site's filter.

Zozotown and Yodobashi

Clothing and electronics

Seller dashboards and ad accounts

Accounts

A store on Rakuten, Amazon.co.jp or Mercari expects logins from one country. Sticky holds the Japanese IP for until the exit device drops offline.

JP geo-targeting

Ads targeting Japan, subscription prices in yen and Japanese versions of services are visible only from a local address.

How to get a line with the JP geo

  1. 1
    Sign up in the dashboard and top up your balance.

    A test gigabyte costs $1 and covers about 5,000 pages without images.

  2. 2
    Create a list of lines.

    Country Japan, session type, protocol and number of lines. You can keep several lists for different countries and jobs, and they share the same gigabytes.

  3. 3
    Paste the line into your software.

    The dashboard gives you a line in the host:port:login:password format. In scripts the same address takes the form http://login:password@host:port, and SOCKS5 uses the socks5:// scheme.

  4. 4
    Check the exit.

    Open the My IP page through the line: it shows the country, city and network of the address. Protection check shows whether the site you need lets Japanese addresses in without a captcha.

Need unlimited: take T1-Zone for an hour at $1, download the list as CSV and keep the lines with country = jp. The same list shows how many there are right now.

Tips for Japanese sites

  • Set Accept-Language to ja-JP and the time zone to Asia/Tokyo: the whole country has just one.
  • In Google set gl=jp and hl=ja, and pass the results city as query parameters.
  • Delivery and stock depend on the seven-digit postal code: set it on the site, the line does not change it.
  • Run accounts through sticky and do not share one line between profiles. Nobody promises a hold time: the address lives until the subscriber disconnects, so keep a spare line for long sessions.
  • Save gigabytes: request only HTML, without images and media, and one gigabyte stretches across thousands of pages.

Questions about Japanese proxies

01Can I choose Tokyo, Osaka or another prefecture?
No. A FLEX line selects only the country, and the address can land in any prefecture, most often Greater Tokyo and Kansai. The T1-Zone list has no split either. Set the city for Mercari, SUUMO and Google through the site's own parameters.
02Whose addresses does the site see?
To the site, a request through a FLEX line looks like a visit from a home internet subscriber in Japan: trusted home devices provide the addresses. T1-Zone and MIX packages take addresses from various sources and give you a list with a country column.
03FLEX-Traffic or T1-Zone: which to take for Japan?
FLEX when you need only Japan and know the volume in gigabytes. T1-Zone when traffic is heavy and Japanese addresses are needed alongside Korea, Singapore and Australia: unlimited, up to 2,000 threads, and you filter JP lines by the country column.
04Do Japanese proxies work with Amazon.co.jp and Rakuten?
Yes. Rotation swaps the address on every request, so the per-IP limit never fills up. The script on the US proxies page also works for Japanese sites: paste your line and the URL you need, and it shows the share of clean responses, captchas and blocks.
05Are there free Japanese proxies?
Japanese addresses turn up in the open list regularly, and the country filter finds them. They do not live long and are shared among all visitors, so for real work you need FLEX lines or the T1-Zone package.

More answers about countries and lines are in the general FAQ, and plans are on the home page.

Japanese addresses in a couple of minutes

Top up $1, create a line with the JP geo and test the site you need with it. A month of traffic then costs from $0.55 per GB, unlimited T1-Zone from $100 for 30 days.
