Japanese Websites?

I had an inspiration that I should do a Japanese version of my most popular website... anyone know anything about doing a .jp or .ne website? The rules and regs? Could I have a .jp domain, and host it from the USA with my other sites? Thanks to anyone with any answers! :baby:

the company(s) that handle the japanese domains are a bit old fashion. Do a Google search and you will find the correct story on the situation. Bottomline, expect to pay for japanese domains at a MUCH higher price than what you get your normal domains for.

You need an address in Japan (verified) in order to get a co.jp
