Japanese Apple ID Creation

Creating an Apple ID for the Japanese App Store without creating a new e-mail

So I have been addicted to playing a mobile game called Puzzle and Dragons, and I have been keeping notice on the Japanese version and the USA version of the game. It turns out the Japanese version is very generous in giving out stones (premium currency) and more regularly occurring collabs.

Requirements

An email account (I’m using the same one as my USA Apple ID)

iTunes

The iOS device you will be playing on.

Instructions

1. Open iTunes.

2. Sign out of your iTunes account if you are currently signed in.

3. Go to the store. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and you should see a flag of a country. Click on it. Now select Japan as from the countries listed.

5. Click “Create Apple ID”. “Free” should be preselected for you. Leave the gift card area blank.
