If you’re outside of Japan, some of the major stores won’t let you sign up or make purchases. Many websites are Geo-blocked and completely inaccessible, and I’ve also seen people report problems when trying to pay with a foreign credit card (one issued outside of Japan). For anyone who wants to support the industry and buy content legally, this can be a real headache.
I created this website because I know how frustrating it is to try buying Japanese adult films (JAV) or hentai content from abroad. The biggest platform, FANZA (DMM or R18), is blocked outside Japan, and even using a VPN didn’t work for me when I traveled overseas. I also tested using VPN with United States, Germany, Australia, Mexico and all other countries and it did not work. Since I’ve been through this myself, I decided to personally review and compare platforms that international customers might be able to use. Hopefully, my experience can help you find a site that might work for you.
Personal recommendation
- Offers Rent or Buy options and Subscription plans
- Offers DRM-free content
- Wide variety of Kinks and Fetish content
About DUGA
DUGA has the largest catalog of JAV content compared to Site B and C, with 128,000+ titles. About 52,000 are DRM-free, which means you can download and keep them permanently. The catalog also covers a wide range of niche categories such as gay, scat, foot fetish, wet & messy, food crush, hardcore BDSM, and more.
Downsides: the site is only in Japanese, but browser auto-translate works surprisingly well. In my experience, the search can be a bit clunky – sometimes it shows results but the page appears blank. Refreshing usually fixes this.
I especially recommend DUGA for its DRM-free content, since even the major platforms don’t offer DRM-free downloads.

About site B
Site B is especially strong in High-Definition VR content. The website is fully available in English, making navigation simple and user-friendly.
I recommend the monthly Unlimited Streaming plan, which offers over 37,000 titles and includes a generous subscription bonus:
- 1 download per month during your 1st–3rd months
- 3 downloads per month during your 4th–6th months
- 6 downloads per month starting from your 7th month onward
The best part is that downloaded titles remain accessible even after you cancel your subscription, allowing you to gradually build a personal library of favorites (note: not all content is available for download).
Downsides: the platform requires a dedicated player, which can take some getting used to.
About site C
Site C offers over 100,000 titles through both subscription and X-day plans, making it the platform with the largest subscription-based catalog. The website is fully available in English, and it also includes a range of softcore adult content. If you want to explore a vast library of Japanese adult films, this site is a strong option.
Downsides: only subscription or X-day rental plans are available (no single-purchase option). The subscription price is also a bit higher compared to other sites.
About site D
If you’re looking for hentai content, this is the site for you. The other sites does offer a bit of hentai content, none come close to Site D, which specializes exclusively in hentai content. It offers everything from videos/animations and illustrations to voice work/ASMR, comics, and even games – so you’ll definitely find something that fits your interests. The website supports multiple languages, making navigation easy. While most of the content is in Japanese, some titles include translations. If you understand Japanese, you’ll be able to enjoy the full catalog.
Downsides: some content is DRM-protected, meaning you’ll need a dedicated viewer or player to access it.
