ISP and datacenter proxies in Japan
Japanese ISP proxies and Japanese datacenter proxies give a check an origin inside Japan, where search and retail run on Japanese-language queries and domestic platforms. Pick Japan at checkout on either line and the address is fixed in the country for the term you choose.

What each line is for in Japan
ISP proxies in Japan
ISP is the line for Japanese checks that need to read as a domestic consumer: Google and Yahoo! Japan results for Japanese queries, signed-in sessions on Rakuten Ichiba or Yahoo! Shopping where listings show the points a shopper would earn beside the price, and Mercari pages viewed as a Japanese buyer would see them. The address is leased from a consumer provider and hosted in our racks, and it presents to Japanese sites as a residential connection.
A static address also simplifies scheduling across time zones: a check that runs overnight from Europe or the Americas lands in the Japanese daytime on the same origin as the previous run, so day-to-day differences come from the market and not from the setup.
Datacenter proxies in Japan
Datacenter covers the high-volume Japanese work: tracking Amazon.co.jp prices across a large catalogue, measuring how a Japan-hosted service responds from inside the country, and testing regional latency for an Asia-Pacific deployment. Japanese storefronts display prices with consumption tax included, so a sweep compares like with like without recomputing tax.
Each address is dedicated and comes from ranges registered to us and announced from our own ASN. If a Japanese target flags one, the replacement window on datacenter is shorter than on ISP.
Why teams need an origin in Japan
Search ranking, ad placement and marketplace listings in Japan are shaped by Japanese-language queries and Japan-specific platforms, and behave differently from an English-language default even for a brand that operates in both markets. An origin inside Japan lets a check see what a Japanese user sees.

How an order for Japan works
If the job compares Japanese results with an English-language default, order the Japanese block on its own and keep other markets in separate orders, so each result traces back to one country. Rates are published in US dollars and the wallet is funded by card, PayPal or cryptocurrency, so nothing in the order depends on a yen account. For a programme that also covers South Korea or Taiwan, order each market separately: an address in Japan is not a regional origin for East Asia, and what it returns describes Japan alone.

ISP or datacenter for Japan
For Japan, rank tracking and anything signed in go on ISP, because those targets read the visitor and a consumer origin is the point. Catalogue sweeps on Amazon.co.jp, availability checks and latency measurement go on datacenter, which moves more traffic per address. If the same programme needs both, two orders for Japan, one per line, keep the two kinds of request apart.
Sourced and audited the same way everywhere
Every address carries the same chain-of-custody standard. The method is on the sourcing and compliance page.
Questions about Japan
Does a Japan address change what language a page returns?
The address changes where the request appears to come from. Whether a site then serves Japanese content is that site's own logic, based on the signal an address in Japan gives it.
Is Japan treated the same as our other Asia-Pacific coverage?
Yes, commercially: the same lines, published pricing and ordering process as any other country these pages cover.
Should Yahoo! Japan checks run on ISP or datacenter?
On ISP when the result has to match what a Japanese consumer sees, which is the usual reason to check a ranking. Datacenter is for the lighter side of the same programme, such as confirming that the pages you rank load quickly from inside Japan.
Are prices for Japan charged in yen?
No. Every rate on this site is published and charged in US dollars, and the per-address ladder is the same whichever country you order.
Does a Japanese address see tax-inclusive prices?
Japanese storefronts show prices with consumption tax included as a matter of law, so a Japanese address sees the same tax-inclusive price a domestic shopper does. What the origin changes is which storefront you reach, not how its tax is shown.
Can a Japanese address check Mercari listings?
Public Mercari listings are a light read and suit datacenter. Anything that needs a signed-in Mercari account belongs on ISP, where the address holds through the session.
Can I choose the country when I order?
On ISP and datacenter, yes: the country is picked at checkout. Residential and mobile are sold as network-wide coverage, and neither lets you target a country at order time.
Is there a trial for ISP or datacenter in a given country?
Yes. Both lines include a paid trial before you commit to a term, on the same terms in every country they are sold in.
