Tunnell Bear Download Page

Download Tunnel Bear app 15 on your mobile (Android & iOS) or if you’re on a desktop select the Windows or Mac 186. This tool is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that will help us access the region-locked games and apps. For this demo we are going to use the desktop application.

Step 2

Tunnel Page Software

After downloading, open the tool and tap the Pipe going to Japan and once it prompt you to tunnel just click yes and wait for it to connect.

Step 3

Japan Gmail account creation

This is the tricky part as you need to create a Japan Gmail by clicking on the link provided. We also recommend doing the registration in the browser so you can check the URL if it has the www.google.co.jp in the URL, otherwise, this will just register to your default local account. Also, if it asks you for a mobile number you can use your local PH mobile number. Just select the Philippine flag and it will add the +63 area code.

Step 4

Japan Google Play Store

After the account creation process, just switch to the Japanese account you have created on your mobile or browser and visit the Japanese Google Play Store and access the Japanese games and apps.

Why settle for a tricky registration when you can just download Qoo App Japan. It also lets you pre-register to Japanese games and apps since it’s also based in Japan.
