VPS hosting in Tokyo: your server in Japan, close to South Korea and Taiwan
Tokyo is the obvious place for your server if your players, customers or app users live in Japan. Hosting in the same country means their requests no longer have to make the long trip to Europe and back. South Korea, Taiwan and the rest of East Asia are not far from Tokyo either, so a single location can cover several markets in the region.
Tokyo is one of up to 25 locations for our Edge Unlimited Traffic VPS. These servers are built for network stability and low latency, and they offer slightly less performance per euro than our classic Unlimited Bandwidth VPS. If most of your users are in Germany or elsewhere in Europe, one of our KVM root servers in Frankfurt is the better fit.
What your Tokyo VPS comes with
Uplink of up to 1 Gbps
Every server connects at up to 1 Gbps, which is plenty for downloads, streams, proxies and game servers.

No monthly quota, no throttling once you pass a certain amount of data and no charge per terabyte. You pay one fixed monthly price.

Unlimited Bandwidth VPS and VPN servers in Tokyo
Unlimited Bandwidth VPS in Tokyo
For more performance per euro, our classic Unlimited Bandwidth VPS are available in Tokyo too: four plans with NVMe storage and unmetered traffic, with an uplink of 500 Mbit/s to 3 Gbit/s depending on the plan. Pick this series if you want as much CPU, RAM and NVMe storage as your budget allows and your plan's uplink covers your needs.
Unlimited Bandwidth VPS carry a surcharge at this location, which the shop shows when you order.
Your own VPN server in Tokyo
Our Dedicated Unlimited Traffic VPN is also available in Tokyo: a static IPv4 address just for you and a 500 Mbit/s uplink with unlimited traffic. Setup takes one click with the free AmneziaVPN app (WireGuard®-based), no VPN skills needed. IPv6 depends on the location, so we cannot promise it.
With root access, you can also set up WireGuard or OpenVPN yourself on any Edge VPS.
The Dedicated Unlimited Traffic VPN carries a surcharge at this location. The shop shows the amount and which locations can be ordered right now.
Why Tokyo is the right server location
The shorter the path between server and user, the sooner responses arrive. For projects with an audience in Japan and East Asia, that makes a strong case for a server in Tokyo.
Close to Japan and East Asia
From Tokyo, you reach players and customers across Japan from inside the country. South Korea and Taiwan are close as well, so one location can serve several East Asian markets at once.
Unlimited traffic right in Japan
Your Tokyo VPS has unlimited traffic at up to 1 Gbps, with no data cap and no charge per terabyte, so streaming, downloads and lots of simultaneous users will not inflate your bill. How fast your users actually reach the server comes down to the route their traffic takes through the network.
A provider from Europe
Behind your Tokyo server is KernelHost, an Austrian provider with its core data center in Frankfurt. You order and pay PrePaid in euros with no contract, and our support team answers tickets in German and English.
What people run on a server in Japan
- Game servers for players in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan
- Websites and online shops for customers in Japan
- APIs and app backends for users in East Asia
- Streaming and media delivery to Japan with unlimited traffic
- Your own VPN server in Tokyo with WireGuard or OpenVPN
- Proxies and relays close to your users in Japan
- A second location in Asia for projects already running in Europe
- Uptime monitoring and tests from Tokyo
Japan VPS: frequently asked questions about servers in Tokyo
Where exactly is my server in Japan located?
A KernelHost Edge VPS with the Tokyo location runs in a data center in Tokyo, so it really is in Japan. That is why every plan card reads Location: Tokyo (Japan). You set the location when you order, and it cannot be changed afterward.
Which markets and users is Tokyo a good fit for?
An Edge VPS in Tokyo suits users in Japan first and foremost, followed by South Korea, Taiwan and other East Asian markets. The real speed of a connection depends on the route the data takes through the network, not on distance alone. If most of your users are in Europe, a server in Frankfurt is closer to them.
Which plans are available in Tokyo?
For Edge VPS, Tokyo offers 11 plans, from 1 vCPU with 2 GB RAM up to 32 vCPU with 128 GB RAM. If a plan is sold out right now, you will see that on its card. Every plan includes 20 GB SSD, which you can expand up to 300 GB.
Do I get an IP address from Japan?
Your Edge VPS gets an IPv4 address from the network of the Tokyo data center. Each geolocation service applies its own rules to decide which country an address belongs to, so we cannot promise a particular result. IPv6 is not part of the Edge VPS offering.
Tokyo or another location?
For users in Japan, Tokyo is the natural choice. If your audience is mainly in South Korea, Seoul is closer; for Taiwan and the Philippines, consider Hong Kong, and for Southeast Asia Singapore. You can compare all locations and prices in our Edge VPS overview. If you mainly need more performance per euro, the classic Unlimited Bandwidth VPS in Tokyo are the better fit.
Can I run my own VPN server in Tokyo?
Yes. With root access, you can install WireGuard or OpenVPN on your Tokyo VPS yourself. The easier route is our Dedicated Unlimited Traffic VPN, also available in Tokyo: you get a static IPv4 address just for you and a 500 Mbit/s uplink, and the free AmneziaVPN app sets it up in one click.
Is the traffic really unlimited?
Yes. KernelHost's Edge VPS come with unlimited traffic: no monthly quota, no throttling after a certain amount of data and no charge per terabyte. Your server uses its uplink of up to 1 Gbps for a fixed monthly price.
How does the DDoS protection work?
The always-on 3.2 Tbps DDoS protection is included with every Edge VPS plan. It automatically detects and filters common attacks such as UDP, SYN and ICMP floods as well as reflection and amplification attacks, with nothing for you to configure.
Which operating systems are available, and how quickly is the server ready?
You can choose from Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, Rocky Linux 9 and 10, CentOS Stream 9 and Fedora 42. Windows is not offered for Edge VPS. Your server is usually ready a few minutes after your payment arrives; in rare cases it takes up to an hour. Depending on the plan and location, setup can also take longer. You receive your login details by email and in the customer area.
How do I pay, and is there a minimum term?
You pay for Edge VPS PrePaid in euros, with no contract, no minimum term and no notice period. Our payment methods page lists the available options, and the PrePaid page explains how it works. If you have questions, our support team answers tickets in German and English.
