Amazon Prime Video Japan history, coverage, features

Amazon Prime Video in Japan offers a diverse selection of titles that are included in an Amazon Prime membership. Eligible memberships comprise annual and monthly Amazon Prime subscriptions, 30-day free trials, and annual Amazon Prime Student memberships. The catalog continuously expands, with new titles added and some occasionally removed. While an Amazon Prime membership may enhance the Prime Video experience, it is not a requirement. Customers can purchase or rent a variety of titles from the Prime Video catalog independently. These transactions are charged to the payment method linked to the Amazon account and become available in the Purchases & Rentals section upon completion.

Prime Video in Japan can be accessed on multiple devices through the Prime Video app, which is available on televisions, Amazon devices, mobile devices, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and streaming media devices. Prime Video Channels allow Amazon Prime members to add channels for an additional fee, eliminating the need for cable. Subscription providers manage title availability, and some channels offer the Watch Live feature, enabling live streaming of programming on compatible devices.
