🇯🇵Japan Country Code +81

The country calling code for Japan is +81. Put it in front of the number when you call Japan from another country, and leave out the 0 that starts numbers inside Japan.

Dial your country's international access code (or press + on a mobile phone), then 81, then the number without its leading 0. For example, 090-1234-5678 inside Japan is dialled as +81 90 1234 5678 from abroad.

Only when you call from inside Japan. The 0 is the trunk prefix, used for calls within the country. From abroad you leave it out: 090-1234-5678 becomes +81 90 1234 5678.

Most phone numbers in Japan have 9 or 10 digits after the country code: mobile numbers have 10 and landlines 9. Some special-service numbers (toll-free, premium-rate) are shorter or longer.

To call another country from Japan, dial 010, then the country code you are calling, then the number. On a mobile phone you can press + instead of 010.

Japan has hundreds of area codes (the list on this page shows the first 600), each pointing at a city or region. Examples: 03 for Tokyo, 011 for Sapporo, Hokkaido, 044 for Kawasaki, Kanagawa and 045 for Yokohama, Kanagawa.

Number ranges in Japan were first allocated to networks including Softbank, KDDI, NTT Docomo, Okinawa Cellular and Rakuten Communications. People can move their number to another network, so the one a number started on may not be the one it uses today.
