What is a Rakuten proxy?
A Japanese buyer or seller, in the prefecture you choose
A Rakuten proxy is a Japanese IP address that your browser, the Rakuten app or your data tools connect through, so Rakuten sees a buyer or seller in the prefecture, city or network you picked. ProxyEmpire’s Japan network covers all 47 prefectures and 234 cities and districts, with home broadband on 35+ ISPs and mobile IPs on docomo, au, SoftBank and Rakuten Mobile.
Rakuten Ichiba is one of Japan’s biggest online marketplaces, and it’s built for buyers in Japan. Sellers who manage their shop from abroad, agencies that run several shops, and teams that monitor prices all need to see the marketplace from a Japanese connection. Each shop account should also sign in from a consistent location: an account that logs in from a different country every day, or several accounts on one connection, is what marketplace risk checks look for.
What sellers use Rakuten proxies for
Shops, prices, rankings and research
Shop management from abroad
Manage your Rakuten Ichiba shop from outside Japan on a consistent Japanese IP, so the account always signs in from the same place.
Multiple shop accounts
Agencies and brands give each shop its own sticky or static Japanese IP, so accounts never share a connection.
Price and competitor tracking
Track competitors’ prices, points campaigns, stock and reviews, and adjust your own pricing. More on e-commerce scraping proxies.
Search ranking checks
See where your products rank in Rakuten search and how listings, prices and shipping look to buyers in Japan.
Ads checks
Check which product ads appear for your keywords and confirm your campaigns show as expected. See ad verification proxies.
Japan market research
Research best-selling products, categories and price points in Japan before you launch a new product or shop.
Japan coverage for Rakuten
Every prefecture, on home and mobile networks
The Japan proxy network covers every prefecture, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with 234 cities and districts including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo. Home broadband comes from 35+ ISPs and networks, and mobile IPs from all four Japanese mobile network operators: NTT docomo, au (KDDI), SoftBank and Rakuten Mobile. Japan is also one of the countries where static residential IPs are sold, for accounts that should keep one fixed IP.
Sell by the rules. Use Rakuten proxies for legitimate selling, research and price monitoring. We don’t support fake orders, fake reviews, points or campaign abuse, or any illegal activity.

How to run Rakuten shops with proxies
Habits that keep accounts consistent
One shop, one IP. Give each shop account its own static IP or sticky session in Japan and keep using it. Don’t let two accounts share an IP.
Keep devices and browsers separate. Use a separate browser profile or device for each account. If you use an anti-detect browser, these are the popular anti-detect browsers that integrate with ProxyEmpire.
Use the app on a mobile IP. On Android, the free ProxyEmpire Proxy Manager app can route just the Rakuten app through a Japanese proxy.
Rotate for research, not for accounts. Use a new IP per request for price tracking and ranking checks, and keep a fixed or sticky IP for anything you sign in to.
Follow Rakuten’s rules. Proxies keep accounts consistent; they don’t change what the marketplace allows. Check Rakuten’s seller policies.
