Send a fax to Japan online

How to send a fax to Japan from your browser

1. Upload PDF, DOC, DOCX or supported image files, up to 50 MB combined per fax. First open the finished document and check that Japanese characters are visible, not replaced by empty boxes. Confirm page orientation and include the department, contact or reference requested by the recipient. FaxOnWeb does not translate the document for you.
2. Choose Japan as the destination, whether you are in Japan or overseas. For international format use +81 and remove only the first domestic 0: a Tokyo number beginning 03 becomes +81 3. Confirm the actual fax line with the receiving office.
3. Review the detected page count, recipient number, availability and total price: USD 2.89 for up to 5 pages, then USD 0.39 per additional page. Authorize PayPal only after these checks, then follow the final delivery result. Payment is captured after confirmed delivery; provider acceptance alone is not proof that the document arrived.
