Build Local. Build Japanese.

AltStack.jp is a growing directory of Japanese digital services, from cloud hosting and email providers to developer tools and SaaS platforms. Find the right Japanese digital services for your projects, business operations or personal use, all in one place!

Local by Design

Every service listed on AltStack.jp is operated by a Japanese company. That means local infrastructure, local support, and alignment with Japan's business norms and regulatory frameworks.

APPI-Compliant

Japanese services are subject to the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), one of the world's most robust data protection laws. Choosing domestic providers helps ensure your data stays within a clear legal framework.

Global-Ready

Many Japanese platforms offer world-class quality, even if they aren't well-known outside Japan. AltStack.jp helps surface these hidden gems so you can build confidently with reliable local tools.

Billed in Yen

All listed services bill in Japanese Yen, with proper handling of consumption tax. This reduces currency conversion risks and ensures that invoices are aligned with Japan's tax and accounting standards.

Made with ❤️ in Kyoto.
