Protection For All Your Devices

What Is a Japan IP Address?
An IP address is an identification number ISPs assign to any device connected to the internet. When you connect to the internet in Japan, you’ll normally have a Japan IP.
Websites and online services may check your IP and location to determine your access permissions. For example, only people with a Japan IP address can access Netflix’s Japanese library.
If you’re traveling outside of Japan, you can use PIA VPN to get a Japan IP from anywhere and view the same content you would back home. It’s easy to do, even if you’ve never used a VPN before.
Why Use a VPN for a Japan IP Address?
Using a VPN is the quickest and most reliable way to get a Japan IP address. You don’t need any technical knowledge to set it up, and it changes your IP instantly. A VPN also protects your privacy and security online.
PIA VPN gives you all these benefits and more. Our ultra-fast servers in Tokyo provide a stable connection for all your online activity.

What Can I Do with a Japan IP Address?

Watch Your Favorite Shows While Traveling
Japan has one of the world’s best Netflix libraries and amazing local streaming services, too. If you’re Japanese, traveling overseas usually means a smaller streaming selection. Connect to one of PIA’s streaming-optimized servers in Tokyo and get a Japan IP address. You can access your usual watchlists from anywhere.
Follow Japanese Social Trends
Social media platforms adjust your feed depending on your location. If you’re studying or working abroad, you can use a Japan IP to sync up with Japanese content. Get content recommendations from top Japanese influencers like Naomi Watanabe on Instagram and Junya Gou on TikTok.


Access Your Bank Accounts
Most bank apps check your IP address as part of their security measures. They might block your login if they see a foreign IP. Connect to one of PIA’s secure servers in Tokyo to access your MUFJ, Japan Post, or other Japanese bank accounts from outside the country.
Work Remotely from Anywhere
Some companies block foreign IPs from accessing their databases as part of their security protocols. If you’re traveling abroad and need to access some files back at the office, connect to one of PIA’s servers in Tokyo. Get a Japan IP address and log in to your work accounts from anywhere.


What Is a VPN?
A VPN, short for virtual private network, is simple software that changes your IP address and secures your connection.
When you activate your VPN, your internet traffic is rerouted through a VPN server. That changes your IP address and makes you appear to be someplace else. VPNs also encrypt your traffic so snoops, including your ISP, can’t see what you’re up to online.
