Connect to a VPN server in Japan

The physical distance between you and a VPN (Virtual Private Network) server affects your connection speed. To keep latency low and performance high, Surfshark runs 80 servers in Tokyo, Japan.

All Surfshark servers are built for speed, reliability, and privacy, featuring:

10Gbps ports, so your 4K streams, video calls, and downloads stay smooth even during peak hours;
Multiple servers per city to prevent downtime and overcrowding;
Private DNS (Domain Name System) on each server that encrypts your traffic and prevents it from leaking;
RAM-only infrastructure, so you can rest assured your activity data is never saved to a physical drive and stored long-term.

Surfshark’s server network ensures your experience remains fast, smooth, and private, regardless of where you connect from.

Surfshark’s key benefits

Get an all-around cybersecurity suite

Just like Japan is made up of more than 14,000 islands, Surfshark is more than just a VPN. The Starter plan kicks things off with Surfshark’s Clean Web, cookie pop-up blocker, and Alternative ID. Higher tiers offer enhanced protection, like Antivirus, the Alert tool for monitoring data leaks, and the Incogni data removal service.

Connect to a vast server network

Surfshark has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries, including 80 VPN servers in Tokyo. Our VPN for Japan makes it easy to find a server location that masks your IP address and unlocks speeds faster than a Shinkansen bullet train.

Not sure which location is best for you? Don’t fret. When it comes to VPN setup, Surfshark does the heavy lifting for you. Just hit Quick connect, and you’ll be instantly equipped with a secure internet connection on the fastest available Japanese server.

Enjoy a smoother surfing experience

Surfshark’s Clean Web feature blocks intrusive ads, bringing distraction-free surfing to all your online activities. The browser extensions also shield against cookie pop-ups for greater privacy on top of a Japanese IP address.

Keep distractions at bay and immerse yourself in online zen with a Japanese VPN connection.
