The Japanese government regularly violates its citizens’ privacy. While they claim it’s to increase your safety, it’s still a disturbing step which chips away at your internet freedom and privacy.

A VPN for Japan increases your online privacy and also lets you unblock websites on restricted Wi-Fi networks.

Yes, you can, and considering Japan’s questionable outlook on surveillance, it’s a good idea to do so. PIA’s servers in Japan apply tough VPN encryption to your connection, making your traffic indecipherable to third parties.

Our VPN also prevents data leaks, which protects you on dodgy Wi-Fi networks around town. Combined with our No Logs policy, PIA keeps your details completely private and unattainable at all times.

PIA’s Japanese servers work with popular sites in the country, including Netflix, Mixi, and Livedoor.

Yes. PIA VPN hides your real IP address and gives you a new one when you connect to our servers in Japan. This happens as soon as you establish your connection.

Getting a Japanese IP address is a secure way to improve your online anonymity, protect your search history, or watch anime to your heart’s content. It's also a great way to stay connected to your local online accounts when traveling abroad.

You can, but it's a bad idea.

Free VPNs can’t compete with PIA’s protection, speeds, or server network. Very often, they compromise your security and privacy with inadequate infrastructure. Worse still, some free VPNs sell your browsing data to advertisers for profit.

PIA combines super-tight privacy protection in Japan with blazing-fast VPN speeds. Try our premium features without any risk thanks to our 30-day money-back guarantee.

PIA makes it easy to use a Japan VPN on your laptop. First, subscribe to PIA, and download our VPN for Windows PC or Mac VPN app to your laptop.

In the vast majority of cases, no. A proxy usually needs technical knowledge to configure and set up, and only works in your browser. Proxy connections are also generally very slow and frustrating to use, even for simple tasks.

You’re better off with a quality VPN. PIA is super easy to set up and works with every app on your device. It only takes a couple of clicks to connect to a server in Japan, and requires no manual configuration. PIA is one of the fastest VPN providers around, meaning you never have to worry about lagging, glitching, buffering, or other interruptions.

Most free VPNs won’t have servers in Japan, and even fewer free VPNs will work with Netflix. Free VPNs are usually slow, and come with limited bandwidth, meaning they’re useless for streaming. If you do manage to connect, you’ll suffer from constant buffering, or get cut off mid-show.

PIA VPN works seamlessly with Netflix Japan. Our 10-Gbps VPN servers keep streams smooth and buffer-free, and our unlimited bandwidth means you’ll never get cut off, no matter how much you watch.
