It's been almost 2 months since I signed up for a StarryDNS account. I got a Japan VPS mainly for game tunneling purposes. It works perfectly - latency is great, server is stable, and I haven't had any issues since day 1.
Their pricing isn't the cheapest; you can get more resources per $ from Vultr, OneProvider, etc. but I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for better latency (vs. Vultr) + very accommodating staff. That being said I highly recommend StarryDNS if you need a server located in Japan.
