Buying Japanese adult video from outside Japan

If you have ever opened a Japanese adult video store from outside Japan, you have probably seen a page telling you the service is not available in your region. Nothing is wrong with your account or your connection — the store simply does not serve your country.

This site explains what that block is, what your legitimate options are, and how to find what you are looking for once you can reach the store.

We link to official stores only. We do not link to, name, or explain how to find pirate sites. The works on those sites are uploaded without the permission of the studios and performers who made them, and none of the money reaches anyone involved in production.

Finding works

Japanese adult video is catalogued by product code (for example NHT-027) rather than by title. Once you know the code system, searching becomes much easier — by studio, by label, or by performer.

Product codes explained — how codes are structured and how to use them
Searching by performer name — name order, romanisation, and the names people search for most
Studios and labels — who makes what, from their own official sites
