# Best domain registrars in Japan

None of the registrars we track sell .jp — it is delegated only to Japan Registry Services (JPRS)-accredited registrars (find an accredited registrar via Japan Registry Services (JPRS) at jprs.jp). For a .com from Japan, Porkbun has the lowest verified long-run cost, Cloudflare Registrar suits developers, and Namecheap is the familiar choice for non-technical owners.
