We may earn a commission if you buy a VPN through links on this site.

Each guide will be a numbered English procedure with one screenshot per step, taken on a non-Japan IP. Pages go live after that test, not before.

• TVer — Free catch-up. Geo-blocked at play.
• ABEMA — Live + on-demand anime and news.
• U-NEXT — VPN is not enough: JP payment and SMS.
• NHK Plus — Not the same as NHK World Japan.
• Hulu Japan — Separate from US Hulu.
