How to Watch Japanese TV – Netflix Japan

Netflix Japan is a localized version of the popular streaming service Netflix, specifically tailored for viewers in Japan. It offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original content, available for streaming on various devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.

This guide will demonstrate how to view NETFLIX JAPAN from outside of Japan.

Stream Netflix Japan‘s exclusive content from anywhere in the world as if you were watching directly in Japan, using a VPN connection.

A VPN connection might sound complicated, but it’s actually very simple. It works by making it seem like you’re using the internet from another location—in this case, Japan. The VPN sends your internet traffic through a server in Japan (in Tokyo or Osaka), allowing you to access Netflix Japan’s exclusive shows and content. You can set up a VPN on your phone, tablet, computer, smart TV, or any Android device.

Enjoy affordable access to Japanese TV from abroad!

For as little as $4/month (US dollar) for a 2-year plan, using a VPN to access premium online Japanese TV is by far the most economical solution for those living outside of Japan, and should be considered as one of your options to access Japanese TV outside of Japan.

How to Watch Netflix Japan From Outside of Japan

Step 1

Purchase a NordVPN BASIC Subscription.

Visit the NordVPN website and click on the BASIC plan.

(Select from Monthly, yearly, or 2-year subscriptions).

Note: The Basic plan is the most economical package in the NordVPN product line. Despite its cost-effectiveness, the Basic plan provides ample features to access Japanese TV and allows installation on multiple devices (up to 10 devices).

Step 2

After purchasing NordVPN Basic, you can download and install the VPN software on up to 10 devices to be used simultaneously (iPhone, Android phone, tablet, computer, and TV).

Once NordVPN is installed, connect to a VPN server located in Japan on your device.

(For Apple device users, refer to the FAQ section at the bottom of the page for step-by-step installation instructions on how to install the Ameba TV app on your Apple device).

To access NordVPN‘s Japan servers, simply search for “Japan” in the list of countries and connect to either the Tokyo or Osaka server
