Tokyo datacenter proxies: dedicated IPv4 addresses

Why do networks host IPs in Tokyo?

The Otemachi business district is the centre of interconnection in Japan, and large campuses sit east of Tokyo in Inzai, Chiba. JPIX, JPNAP and BBIX all run exchange points in the city.

On 19 October 2026, PeeringDB listed 38 colocation facilities within 40 km of central Tokyo, run by 11 different operators. The operators with the most buildings in that radius are Equinix (10), NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS (8), Digital Edge DC (5) and NTT ME (Data Centers) (4). The buildings where the most networks are present are Equinix TY8 - Tokyo (147 networks), AT TOKYO (CC1/CC2) (142 networks) and Equinix TY2 - Tokyo (117 networks). That ranks Tokyo 16th by facility count among the 34 datacenter cities on this site, behind Sydney (39) and ahead of Seattle (35).

Which internet exchanges are in Tokyo?

PeeringDB lists 11 internet exchange points in the Tokyo area. The largest by connected networks:

• BBIX Tokyo: 355 networks, present in 16 facilities
• JPIX TOKYO: 272 networks, present in 11 facilities
• JPNAP Tokyo: 251 networks, present in 14 facilities

If the network behind your Tokyo IP and your target's network both peer at BBIX Tokyo, traffic between them can stay in Tokyo. The route itself depends on the upstream network that holds the IP; RackProxies does not promise one.

Where will a Tokyo datacenter IP geolocate?

APNIC records the network that holds each Tokyo datacenter IP; it is a hosting or transit ASN, never a home ISP. Lookup services usually show Tokyo or the Tokyo and Inzai (Chiba) area, but a database can also list the network's head office or another Japan city. Many label such addresses "hosting", which is the truth for a datacenter proxy.

Run the datacenter IP check on a Tokyo IP before a long job, with the database your target uses. If Tokyo shows as the wrong place for your use, support can replace the IP within Japan, subject to stock.

What is a Tokyo datacenter proxy good for?

A Tokyo IP is the default Japanese exit: yen prices, Japanese search results and services hosted in Japan. Teams also rent Tokyo IPs as fixed addresses for allowlists and for response-time checks against their own servers. Sites built for consumers may treat a Tokyo hosting IP differently from a home connection; that is expected.

How much do Tokyo datacenter proxies cost?

RackProxies uses one price list for every city, as of October 2026: $1.29 for one Tokyo IP for 30 days, $12.69 for 10 IPs and $59.25 for 100 IPs ($0.59/IP). There is no city surcharge and no per-GB billing; fair use applies. Choose Japan at checkout and ask for Tokyo.
