Japan proxies
Japanese shoppers split their time between Amazon, Rakuten and Yahoo! Shopping, and Yahoo! Japan still matters for search. A Japanese IP sees those storefronts and results as they appear in Japan.
Proxy types
What you can order in Japan
ISP and datacenter are placed by location at checkout. Neither line's published ladder has per-country prices, and checkout adds no geo surcharge.

Static residential IPs on named carriers. Buy one IP and keep it for the term.
- Location at checkout
- By country, region, city and carrier
- Carrier
- Named before you pay

Residential rotates across the whole network without a country picker, so it cannot be pinned to Japan. Use it for breadth; use the proxy types above when the origin has to be here.
Nearby markets that also sell on both static proxy types: South Korea, Taiwan.
Why here
Why checks need a Japan origin
Rakuten and Yahoo! Shopping attach point offers that change the effective price, so reading the listed price from abroad misses half the deal. Many Japanese sites give overseas visitors a trimmed English version, or nothing. Yahoo! Japan builds its search on Google’s results but lays them out its own way, so both need checking.
What teams check from Japan
- Rakuten point offers beside the listed price
- Yahoo! Japan and google.co.jp rankings
- Japanese-only pages that overseas visitors never see
- App and game store availability in Japan

Questions
Questions about Japan
Do Japanese sites block overseas visitors?
Some do, and many serve a trimmed international version. A Japanese IP gets the domestic page, which is the one Japanese customers compare.
Can I check Yahoo! Japan separately from Google?
Yes. Run the same query through both from the same Japanese IP; the result pages differ in layout and ads even where the rankings overlap.
Ordering questions that read the same in every country are on the locations page.
