Watch Hulu Japan From Anywhere With VPN Wave
Hulu Japan (hulu.jp) is a completely separate service from Hulu US — run by Nippon TV, with its own anime library, J-dramas and Japanese originals. Outside Japan, the service is geo-blocked. VPN Wave gives you a Japan IP so Hulu Japan loads on your iPhone anywhere in the world.
Why You Need a VPN for Hulu Japan
Hulu Japan uses IP-based geo-blocking, so a non-Japanese IP returns a "service unavailable" error. A Japan VPN server routes your traffic through Japan so Hulu Japan sees a valid JP IP and serves the full catalog.
