How to unblock and watch Japanese Netflix with ExpressVPN

SAVE 49%: Japanese Netflix is tough to unblock. Fortunately, ExpressVPN can handle the task. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.90 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.

You might be familiar with the connection between VPNs and streaming sites, but just in case anything is unclear, we'll remind everyone about this special relationship. VPNs hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in another country. This means you can watch content from that country when you next log in to your favourite streaming platform.

There's always a lot of interest in accessing Japanese Netflix, particularly amongst fans of anime. The problem here is that Japanese Netflix is tough to unblock because it detects the use of most VPNs and then blocks subscribers. To get around this you'll need to use a powerful service like ExpressVPN.

Netflix subscribers can unblock Japanese Netflix from anywhere in the world with these simple steps:

1. Sign up to ExpressVPN (you can get an extra three months for free with a 12-month plan)

2. Download the ExpressVPN app to your device of choice (ExpressVPN has apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

3. Open up the ExpressVPN app and connect to a server in Japan

4. Log in to your Netflix account to watch movies and shows from the Japanese content library

ExpressVPN is one of the best services for streaming due to strong connection speeds and powerful levels of encryption, with a built-in password manager and fast servers in 94 countries. Subscribers also get apps for every leading operating system and can connect up to five devices simultaneously. There are cheaper VPNs out there, but ExpressVPN is tough to beat when it comes to reliability.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.90 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
