Why FANZA says “not available in your region”
FANZA's own help page is titled “このサービスはお住まいの地域からはご利用になれません” (this service is not available where you live) and says plainly that FANZA cannot be used from outside Japan. It is a region lock on the whole store, not a problem with your account or card. The same lock is what people mean by “DMM region lock”.
FANZA's help page tells users in Japan to turn off VPNs and proxies. We do not cover ways around the lock; the stores below sell to you directly.
Japanese adult video: XCREAM
XCREAM runs an English storefront (also Chinese and Korean), says it can be used from abroad, and accepts overseas-issued Visa, Mastercard, JCB and Diners cards again since June 2026. Files are MP4 with unlimited viewing; some come with English subtitles.
