How to choose
What is available in Japan
This catalog covers VPS plans in Tokyo and Osaka. Cherry Servers and UltaHost list Tokyo locations, while Akamai Cloud (Linode) and Vultr list both Osaka and Tokyo. Japan may suit workloads whose users are nearby, including users in South Korea, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Israel. The right location still depends on where your own users are located, so compare Japan with nearby catalog locations when relevant.
The entry band is under $5, while the median band is under $200. NVMe storage appears across a substantial share of the listings, and a limited number of plans are unmetered. These categories can change as provider data refreshes, so check the current plan details before purchase.
How to choose a plan
Start with distance to users and expected latency. Within Japan, Tokyo and Osaka may produce different results for the same audience. For VPS plans, check whether vCPU is shared or dedicated, then compare CPU resources, storage type, and included traffic. NVMe can matter when storage responsiveness is important. Also check whether traffic is limited or unmetered, since only a few plans are unmetered in this catalog.
Billing can be hourly or monthly. Hourly billing is useful when you need flexible runtime, while monthly billing can be simpler for ongoing use. Confirm accepted payment methods before ordering, especially if you need crypto, Alipay, PayPal, cards, or bank payment.
