Get a Japanese IP address in Tokyo.
Connect through our Tokyo node and Japan's banks, broadcasters and shops treat you as a local visitor — while the tunnel itself keeps no record of what you did.
LunoVPN operates a Japanese VPN server in Tokyo. Connecting to it gives you a Japanese IP address, so Japan's banks, broadcasters and shops treat your connection as local. The tunnel uses WireGuard, no activity is logged, and signup needs no email address — your account is a random 16-digit number.

What a Japanese IP address actually gets you
Japan's digital services routinely restrict access to visitors inside the country. These are the ones people ask about most.
Banking & government
Japanese banks and state portals often block or flag foreign logins.
- MUFG, SMBC, Mizuho and Rakuten Bank without foreign-login lockouts
- MyNumber portal and e-Tax for tax filings and official business
- Local payment apps and one-time codes keep working abroad
Japanese media
News, politics and sport from Japan's own publishers.
- NHK News, Asahi Shimbun, Nikkei and Yomiuri without geo-paywalls
- J.League on DAZN Japan — licensed for local audiences only
- Regional outlets that only serve local IP addresses
Japanese streaming

Connected in about a minute
Four steps, and none of them ask who you are.
Install the app
Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS. No email address is requested at any point.
Create an account
You get a random 16-digit number. That number is the entire account.
Pick Japan — Tokyo
Choose it from the server list; the client connects over WireGuard.
You're a local visitor
Sites now see a Japanese IP address. Nothing about the session is logged.
What a Japanese IP will not do
Every VPN page promises. This one also tells you where the promise stops — you can verify each claim before you pay.
It does not make you anonymous
A Japanese IP hides your home address from the sites you visit. It does not hide you from services you log into, and it does not touch browser fingerprinting — our privacy check shows what that leaks.
Streaming access is never guaranteed
Whether any given platform works through a VPN is decided by that platform, and their detection changes without notice. We describe what typically works and refuse to promise more.
Distance still costs speed
Connecting to Tokyo from far away adds latency that no protocol removes. Pick the nearest server when speed matters more than location.
What we could hand over
A 16-digit number, whether the subscription is active, and a payment reference. There is no browsing history, no DNS record and no user-attributable IP log to produce.
