SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for accessing extra Netflix libraries. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.

Consider this a public service announcement to all fans of anime: You can access a lot of extra anime shows with the help of a VPN. These cybersecurity services can hide your real IP address and connect you to a server in Japan, meaning you can access Japanese Netflix from anywhere in the world.

This process might sound complicated, but it's actually really straightforward.

How to unblock Japanese Netflix for free

By connecting you to a server in another country, VPNs can trick streaming services like Netflix into thinking you are connecting from that location, meaning you get access to all the content that is normally unavailable to you. You can unblock and watch Japanese Netflix from anywhere in the world by following these steps:

1. Sign up to a VPN (like ExpressVPN)

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

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

4. Visit Netflix to watch movies and shows from the Japanese content library
