I'm in the US - Anchorage, AK and I'm all of a sudden getting redirected to google.co.jp.

My IP address is 216.67.8.XXX

Could google have their country IP mappings wrong?

Because Google thinks you're in Japan. Now if you click the link where it says go to Google.com then it'll put a cookie on your system and will remember it and you go to Google.com from then on until the cookie gets cleared.

Well, if you use a proxy service like, hidemyip, it sends you to the ip of the proxy.

SO..... if you use japan proxy, you get the japanese version.
