If you’ve made plans to go out anytime in the next month, consider crossing them off your calendar. As Tokyo, Osaka and several other major areas of Japan settle into life under a state of emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19, it’s best for everyone to stay at home as much as possible.

Thankfully, entertainment streaming services have taken off in Japan over the past few years. Once behind the digital curve, we've caught up. There’s really no reason to visit sketchy sites or break out VPNs anymore (unless you are trying to save some money or need to watch “The Office” on American Netflix), there’s enough content piled up now to get you through the pandemic, hopefully.

To help you navigate the streams, The Japan Times has put together a crash course in the best services available for several types of entertainment. There’s a lot out there, but these are the ones you can rely on to keep you occupied as you stay home for the near future.
