Inzai, Japan

  • Welcome

    Google is proud to call Inzai home to our first data center in Japan.

    Our data center in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture, started operations in March 2023, giving people in Japan faster, more reliable access to our tools and services, supporting economic activity and jobs, and connecting Japan to the global digital economy.

    To use less energy for cooling, our data centers run at higher-than-average temperatures, and our cooling system makes use of ambient temperatures during cold weather.
