Japan Netflix Unlocked: Top VPNs Tested
25 Sep
Summary
- NordVPN, Proton VPN, and ExpressVPN bypass Netflix Japan's location checks.
- These top VPNs maintain over 159 Mbps on a 190.36 Mbps connection.
- PIA and CyberGhost failed to access the Japanese Netflix library.
Accessing Netflix Japan's unique content library from outside the country is now achievable with specific virtual private networks (VPNs). In recent tests conducted from Europe using a 190.36 Mbps connection, NordVPN, Proton VPN, and ExpressVPN successfully bypassed Netflix Japan's geographical restrictions.
These leading VPNs maintained impressive download speeds, exceeding 159 Mbps, ensuring a smooth streaming experience. NordVPN, in particular, also unblocked content from the US and Canadian Netflix libraries. Proton VPN stood out with an extensive list of over 315 Japanese servers, while ExpressVPN offered the fastest connection speeds among the tested services for Tokyo.
Conversely, Private Internet Access and CyberGhost were unsuccessful in unblocking Netflix Japan during the same testing period. CyberGhost's failure was notable despite offering a server specifically located in Japan. Free VPN services generally do not provide reliable access to geo-restricted content like the Japanese Netflix library.
