Japan proxies

Q: How do I get a Japanese IP address?

Add -country-jp to your proxy username and connect to gw.proxonym.com:8000 (HTTP) or :1080 (SOCKS5). Every request then leaves from a residential IP in Japan. Drop the session parameter to get a new IP on each request.

Q: Can I target a specific city or prefecture in Japan?

Yes. Append -city-tokyo for Tokyo, or -state-tokyo for Tokyo. Use either a city or a prefecture, not both. If no IP matches, the gateway returns a 502 error and you can widen the targeting.

Japanese shoppers rely on domestic platforms such as Rakuten and Mercari alongside Amazon.co.jp, and price comparison on Kakaku.com is part of many purchase decisions. Japanese residential IPs let teams check yen pricing, Japanese-language search results and point-based promotions as users in Tokyo or Osaka see them.

Which proxy type should I use for Japan?

Residential proxies are the safest choice for well-protected local websites. ISP proxies suit accounts and long sessions that need one stable Japanese IP. Datacenter IPs are the fastest and cheapest option for easier targets. See the pricing page to compare plans.

Is it legal to use Japanese proxies?

Using a proxy is legal in most places, including for collecting public data, testing and ad verification. What matters is what you do with it: you must respect local laws, the terms of the sites you access and our acceptable use policy.
