XBOX JAPAN. NOT ACCEPTING jAPAN PAYPAL, OR JAPAN INSTORE CREDIT OR PREPAID CREDIT CARDS.

You need to use a Japanese credit or debit card, yes I understand exactly the issues of foreigners getting them, I would recommend you go to a shop that carries Xbox cards like Yodobashi camera

The clerks will attempt to be very helpful and explain to you that the card will not work at America, just FYI so I would be prepared to tell them that you live in Japan, preferably in Japanese

You need to change your account regions to Japan, your store regions of Japan, and obtain a Japanese method of payment, probably the easiest way to do that might be through PayPal registered to your Japanese address.

I'm happy to be as much help as I can, I've spent significant amount of time in Japan and have encountered many of these difficulties before

from my understanding, region switching to access other content is not illegal, however using false payment information is.

so if you switch to japan to get a free Game With Gold (for example), that should be fine. i believe even a response from Major Nelson said that was ok and would not cause bans on your account.

however if you make up a fake address in Japan (or use a real one that isn't yours) for a credit card, so you can buy something only available in Japan, that is considered fraud, and you could get in trouble.

short answer, they do not hate Japan.

Unfortunately, this time the guidelines are controversial in Japan. The future impact on Xbox in Japan is inevitable.

You will need to phone support for your region,the are the only ones who can deal with billing issues.

Phone number for Japan is 0120 220 340

I believe it is a matter of time for Microsoft to resolve this.

Even Microsoft employees in Japan say they can't expect the Xbox in Japan to improve. At this rate, japan's xbox will die with time.
