.JP, .TOKYO.JP, .KYOTO.JP, .OSAKA.JP, .AKITA.JP and .SAGA.JP:

Available to individuals and companies worldwide. A postal address in Japan is required for the domain holder. If you do not have one, we can satisfy this requirement through our Trustee Service for an additional annual fee. You continue to control the domain’s DNS, website and email services.

.CO.JP:

Available to companies established in Japan, including foreign companies registered there as a “Gaikoku Kaisha”. The registry requires a valid and up-to-date Certificate of Registered Matters (toukibotouhon). Each eligible company may register only one .CO.JP domain.

Companies that are not registered in Japan may still obtain a .CO.JP domain through our Trustee Service. In this case, the registration is made through our local presence because the registry does not allow a foreign company to be listed directly as the holder. Domains registered this way may only be used for web forwarding to another address and cannot use your own name servers, website or email services.

.NE.JP and .GR.JP:

.NE.JP is intended for organizations that provide network services in Japan. .GR.JP is intended for groups of two or more individuals or companies located in Japan.
