When a Hippo exit is worth asking for
For most sites, an IP address here identifies as Japan first and Hippo second. Checks that stop at the country, and that is prices, catalogs, language and most geo-blocks, behave the same whether your exit sits in Hippo or in Tokyo.
City targeting starts to matter when the question is genuinely local: store stock and pickup, delivery estimates, local search results, regional pricing, or anything a map decides for you. If that is your task, ask for Hippo specifically. If it is not, the country exit is cheaper and far more stable.
City-level residential supply moves week to week everywhere, ours included. If nothing is live in Hippo the moment you ask, the reliable fallback is a Japan exit, and the free Japan list shows the public pool measured live.

FAQ
Hippo proxy questions, answered
Can I get a proxy with a Hippo IP address?
Residential plans support city-level targeting, so you can request Hippo specifically, or widen the same request to Miyagi without changing plans. What is live in any one city moves constantly, for every provider; the Japan country exit is the request that never depends on one place.
Where is Hippo?
In Miyagi, Japan, 250 km north of Tokyo. The local timezone is Tokyo time (Asia/Tokyo).
Is a Hippo IP different from any other Japan IP?
To a site that reads only the country: no. Hippo and Tokyo look identical there. To anything local, map results, stock, delivery estimates, the city is exactly the difference, and that is the one case worth paying the supply constraint for.
What if Hippo has nothing live when I ask?
Then take Miyagi as a whole, or the Japan country exit. Single-city supply is fluid in this whole industry, and we would rather hand you the wider fallback in one click than promise a specific street and miss.
