I just posted my 2016 study plan over on another thread, and mentioned Hulu Japan as one of my resources:
I had to search a bit to find the right VPN provider, but in the end found IronSocket. The obfuscation used for Hulu Japan is not done via a fixed VPN. Those IP addresses get blocked right away by the big streaming providers. It is instead what they are calling "Smart DNS". I loved PureVPN as a VPN provider, but their Smart DNS does not work with Hulu Japan. IronSocket's service is twice the price, but their Smart DNS gets me through to Hulu Japan.
The Hulu Japan subscription is the other big piece of this. My American credit card worked fine for it. I did all of this in July of 2015. Other providers may now also support Hulu Japan. It's worth a search.
