Many Japanese games, applications and music are not available for download in App Store in other countries. If you are an iOS user, you need to register another Japanese Apple ID when you encounter restricted applications or game music. There is no need to use credit card information or mobile phone number verification process when applying for an App Store account in Japan. The following is an introduction to the application method of Japanese Apple ID. After the application is successful, you can download the limited apps in Japan. You need to prepare a special email address and telephone number for Japanese account first.

Before applying for an Apple ID account in Japan, it is recommended to apply for a new Gmail email address directly, because if you register a multinational account with the same email address as before, the application will easily fail. In the bidding process, users will be asked to provide their address and telephone number information, but they can't verify it, so users can import the labels from Japan, or directly search for Japanese landmarks on Google Maps and use this address to fill in by phone. Japanese Apple ID registration page

▲ Before applying for an Apple ID in Japan, register a new Google mailbox. If you are worried about being confused with the original main account, you can directly add "jp" to the account, which means it is used for Japanese accounts.

▲ Go to the Apple ID registration page and fill in your name, date of birth, and Gmail account for registration. The password needs 8 characters, including numbers and English case. At the bottom of the registration page, the user will be asked to choose questions and answer them. These questions are "security prompt questions", that is, if the password is lost later, you will need to use these three questions for verification. The answers can be filled in at will, but it is recommended to save the screenshots.

▲ After filling in the verification code, the system will send a letter to the email address filled in by the user, open the letter and enter the verification code to complete the registration procedure.

log out of the existing account first and then fill in the details

after the registration is completed, the user needs to log out of the original account before switching to the Japanese account just applied for. After logging in to a Japanese account, the system will ask the user to fill in information such as Japan's address and telephone number. These information require more details, and it will take a little time to try. However, because there is no need to go through verification procedures, you can search the Internet for addresses and telephone numbers of well-known places in Japan to fill in.

▲ according to the above picture, open the App Store, log out of the original account first, then return to the login page and enter the password of the Apple ID account that has just been applied for.

▲ When logging in for the first time, a prompt message appears, click "Check" and agree to the terms. Then the screen will jump to the data filling page. The top question is the payment method. Select "なし", which means "None". The other two options are credit card/financial card payment and mobile phone bill deduction.

▲ The steps of filling in the information will be more troublesome. Users can search for famous landmarks on Google Maps, or find the address, zip code and telephone number of Japan on the labels of items. Address information is required, and if the name does not meet the standard, it will not pass. It should be noted that it is recommended not to copy the address information provided by others. If the same address is used too many times, it may lead to registration failure or system discovery. Complete the registration procedure after completing the form.

▲ After the bid is completed, you can download it in the Japanese App Store. However, some Japanese games still need to have a Japanese VPN to play.

▲ If you want to switch to an account in Taiwan Province, just log out in the same way and then log in to the original account. The application error may be that the mailbox has been registered or the address has been used by too many people

If the "Try Again" option pops up until the last step, it means that the application is wrong. It may be that the Gmail mailbox you are using has been registered with another Apple ID, or the address information was used by too many people. At this time, you can change the information and apply again.
