Japan Proxy

Inside the Japan address pool

Every Japan address in this pool belongs to a real subscriber line on NTT Docomo, SoftBank, KDDI au, NURO and OCN. That distinction decides most outcomes: a hosting ASN is recognisable on sight, while a Tokyo household connection is indistinguishable from the traffic a Japan site expects all day.

Cities you can pin a session to

City-level targeting covers Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo. It matters here because Mercari is effectively domestic-only in behaviour and Rakuten's point campaigns render differently for Japanese consumer ranges. A request leaving Tokyo and one leaving Sapporo are not interchangeable when you are recording prices or stock.

Carrier-level selection

When a job has to stay coherent for hours rather than seconds, the session can be held on a single carrier. Sites fingerprinting the ASN alongside the address treat a steady NTT Docomo connection very differently from one hopping between NTT Docomo and OCN mid-run.

Jobs this Japan pool is built for

Teams point this pool at Rakuten, Mercari and Yahoo! Shopping for pricing and inventory, at ad delivery checks, and at regional QA. Because Mercari is effectively domestic-only in behaviour and Rakuten's point campaigns render differently for Japanese consumer ranges, running any of it from outside Japan produces numbers that look fine and are quietly wrong.

Session behaviour on Japan traffic

Use rotating when pages are independent and volume is the point. Use sticky when the site remembers you between requests: anything with a cart, a filter chain or a login breaks if the JP address moves halfway through. Both modes draw on the same Japan pool, so switching never changes your geography.

Connecting to a Japan endpoint

Connect over SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) with either username/password or IP whitelisting. The country is encoded in the credentials, so any client already talking SOCKS5 reaches Japan without code changes.

Japan proxy questions

Are these genuine Japan residential IPs?

Yes — consumer lines on NTT Docomo, SoftBank, KDDI au, NURO and OCN, not datacentre ranges carrying a JP geolocation record.

Can I target one city?

Yes, across Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo, with country-only targeting available when locality is irrelevant to the job.

How long does a Japan IP stay assigned?

In sticky mode, long enough to finish a session on the target site; in rotating mode it changes with each request.
