Google Play recharge codes (also known as gift cards) are a convenient way to add credit to your Google Play balance without linking a credit card or PayPal. In Japan, these codes are widely used for purchasing apps, games, movies, books, and making in-app purchases. Whether you are a local resident or an expat, using a Google Play recharge code is simple and secure. However, there are some region-specific rules you must follow, especially if your Google Play account is set to Japan.
Google Play codes are region-locked. A code purchased for Japan must be redeemed on a Google Play account whose country is set to Japan. If you try to redeem a Japanese code on a US or other region account, you will get an error. To check your Google Play country, open the Google Play Store app, go to Settings > General > Account & Device Preferences. The country is displayed under "Country and profiles." If it says Japan, you are ready. If not, you cannot change your country more than once a year, and you must have a valid payment method from that country.
If you are using a computer, go to play.google.com/redeem, sign in, enter your code, and click "Redeem."
