Have you heard about the Japanese TV series "OKURA: Cold Case Investigation", also known as "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa"? It is a 2024 Japanese crime mystery drama that revolves around two very different detectives solving crimes from the past that weren't solved. Would you like to watch OKURA on Netflix? How and where can it be done?
As you watch "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa (Cold Case Investigation)" on Netflix, you will meet the detective named Hidaka Senju. He is a warm-hearted man, while his companion Fuwa Toshiki is cool-headed and the opposite of Hidaka in many ways. In the series we see the two detectives work together to solve long-standing, unresolved cold cases in a special department called "Okura.". Their collaboration, despite their differences, turns into gold as they together find and solve crime mysteries others have been incapable of solving.
Doesn't that sound incredibly interesting? It sure does, and it is a TV series I would love to watch myself. But, what can you do if you want to stream it on Netflix? How and where can you stream "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa (Cold Case Investigation)" on Netflix? I guess the answer is quite obvious... in Japan. But, what does that help you if you live elsewhere in the world?
It is easy to watch "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa" on Netflix.
Even though it might feel complicated, it is very easy to watch "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa" on Netflix. Yesterday I wrote an article investigating how it is possible to watch Japanese Netflix abroad, and if you follow the instructions in that article, you already know the answer. But, I will not force you to read that article as well. Simply follow these small steps, and you can get access to all the material available on Netflix Japan, no matter where you are in the world.
- The first thing you need is a Netflix subscription. It doesn't matter where you are registered as a Netflix user, but you do need a subscription to Netflix somewhere in the world.
- The second thing you need is a VPN subscription to NordVPN or Surfshark. These are both perfect services that will help you get an IP address in Japan that consequently will give you access to movies, TV series, games, and documentaries on Netflix Japan.
- After you have bought your VPN subscription (which you get with a 30-day money-back guarantee), install the VPN application on your phones, tablets, and TVs (that you use with Netflix), and start the application.
- As you open the VPN application, connect to a server in Japan.
- Close your browser or Netflix application, and re-open your browser or Netflix application.
- You will now see the material of Japanese Netflix, including all episodes available of "Okura: Meikyu Iri Jiken Sosa".
As I mentioned, you can try this without worrying, because both NordVPN and Surfshark come with full refund policies valid for 30 days. They also have applications for Windows, Macintosh, iOS, Android, Linux, and also have browser extensions for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.
Once you gain access to Japanese Netflix and finish watching the available episodes about Fuwa Toshiki and Hidaka Senju, go ahead and look for other fantastic material on Japanese Netflix. There is so much to stream there that you cannot find elsewhere in the world, and often Hollywood blockbuster movies are added to Netflix in Japan before made available in other countries, so you will definitely have a lot of fun.
And when you have digested and enjoyed all the material on Japanese Netflix, connect to VPN servers in other countries such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada to find out more about all the magnificent Netflix material in all those countries that you cannot find elsewhere.
At the time of writing, you can, for example, stream all the Harry Potter movies on Neflix in Japan, and you can also watch the fantastic movie "Wonka", a real Hollywood blockbuster. So, you have a lot to look forward to. If you have further comments or questions, write them below in the comment field.
