VPS in Japan

Tokyo and Osaka are the two places to rent a server in Japan, and both give very low latency to users in Japan and good routes to Korea, Taiwan and South-East Asia. Tokyo has the larger choice; Osaka is useful as a second site in the same country. Japan is a long way from Europe, so a server here makes sense for Asian audiences, not for European ones. Japanese consumption tax is 10%, and providers outside Japan usually add it only for customers who give a Japanese billing address, so read the checkout page before you pay.
