Who lives in Japan

About 124 million people live in Japan, and the population has been shrinking for more than ten years in a row. About 29% of the Japanese are over 65. Foreign residents number about 3.8 million, a record: most come from China, Vietnam and South Korea, followed by the Philippines and Nepal. Greater Tokyo is home to about 37 million people, the largest urban area in the world.

How the country is organized

The 47 prefectures come in four kinds: the Tokyo metropolis, Hokkaido, the urban prefectures of Osaka and Kyoto, and 43 regular prefectures. They are grouped into eight regions, from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south. Municipalities number about 1,700. The main islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, out of more than 14,000 islands in all.

Map: 47 prefectures and major cities

Most addresses sit in Tokyo, Kanagawa and Osaka. Sparsely populated prefectures are on the list too, with fewer addresses. If the city does not matter, set the country, and Resi Core and Resi Prime spread the exit across Japan on their own.

Resi Core is enough for collecting prices from Rakuten and Amazon.co.jp. Accounts, ads and app checks need a stable IP in one city, and that is Resi Prime.

Picking a traffic volume for Japan

Volume for the first month. Japanese shops load a lot of images, so switch them off in the scraper if you do not need them.

Resi Core

Rakuten and Amazon.co.jp prices

Japanese shop cards are heavy because of the images. Without them, 25 GB covers a daily pass over a couple of thousand items.

What the Japanese internet looks like via a proxy

Far away and fast

Japanese home lines are fast, but the ping from Europe to Tokyo exceeds 200 ms. A proxy adds its own stretch of the route, so set the request timeout to 15–20 seconds and avoid firing hundreds of requests in a row from one thread: use more threads instead, since their number is unlimited.

A profile for a Japanese IP

Japanese sites match the IP against the browser time zone and language. For antidetect, set the Asia/Tokyo zone and the ja-JP language. The anonymity check shows whether everything matches the address.

Shared IPv4 on home lines

Many Japanese apartments connect over IPv6, while IPv4 runs through the provider's tunnel and several subscribers share one address. If a platform cares about a unique IP, keep the session on Resi Prime and do not change the address mid-task.

Rules and data

Personal data in Japan falls under the APPI, and a separate law bans unauthorized access to other people's systems. Prices, lots and search results are collected openly, and accounts should follow the rules of each platform.

Free Japanese proxies

Only a handful of Japanese addresses make it into the open list, almost all from hosting providers. Use them to debug a script, and switch to a home IP for shops and accounts.

Questions about Japanese proxies

01Can I choose a city in Japan?

Yes, on Resi Prime: 200+ cities in 40+ prefectures, from Tokyo and Osaka to Sendai and Kumamoto. Resi Core works on the whole country.

02Why do Japanese proxies respond slower than European ones?

Because of the distance: the route to Japan from Europe and the CIS takes more than 200 ms. Set a timeout of 15–20 seconds and add threads, since residential plans have no limit on them.

03How do I set up antidetect for a Japanese IP?

Time zone Asia/Tokyo, language ja-JP and one Resi Prime IP per profile. You can check whether the profile matches the address on the anonymity check page.

04Will Resi Core work for Mercari and Rakuten?

For lots and prices, yes: Core rotates addresses across Japan and costs from $0.49 per GB. Log in to accounts through Resi Prime, which holds one IP. Check LINE ads from a Resi Prime home address.

05Can I get by with free Japanese proxies?

For a script test, yes, and the addresses are in the open list. But they live for hours and sit with hosting companies, and Japanese shops often keep such ranges out.
