Japan residential proxies

Japan is one of the few markets where Yahoo! Japan still rivals Google for search share, and where marketplaces like Rakuten, Amazon Japan and Mercari shape pricing that rarely surfaces cleanly from outside the country. Consumer connectivity runs through carriers and ISPs such as NTT Docomo, SoftBank, KDDI (au) and NTT Communications, so genuine residential exits on those networks are what let you see the localized listings, points campaigns and Japanese-language results a Tokyo shopper actually gets. Data handling falls under the APPI (Act on the Protection of Personal Information), and pricing is quoted in Japanese yen (JPY) with a purely Japanese-language interface on most sites. Aethyn routes your traffic through 85M+ residential IPs, with Japan reachable via -country-jp and cities such as Tokyo or Osaka via -city- targeting.

Japan proxy FAQ

Can I get search results the way a real Japanese user sees them?

Yes. Because Yahoo! Japan holds meaningful search share alongside Google.co.jp, seeing the true domestic SERP matters here. Routing through -country-jp residential IPs returns Japanese-language results, local shopping units and regional business listings instead of the tourist-facing version many sites serve to overseas IPs.

Do you support city-level targeting for Tokyo versus Osaka?

Yes - on the Elite tier the username carries a -city- tag, so -city-tokyo and -city-osaka pin your exit to those metros, with Yokohama, Nagoya and Fukuoka available too. Kanto and Kansai often diverge on store stock, courier ETAs and regional campaigns, so pinning the city is how you catch those gaps.

Is collecting Japanese pricing and listing data allowed under the APPI?

APPI regulates how personal information about individuals is handled in Japan, not the publicly posted prices and product listings that price monitoring and market research rely on. Aethyn exists for exactly that kind of open-data work. The line to watch is personal data: if your collection touches identifiable information, keeping that processing APPI-compliant is your responsibility.
