We are releasing an update for our GeoIP2 Country, City, and Enterprise
databases, and for our GeoIP2 Country, City Plus, and Insights web services to
fix a bug that geolocated about 0.1% of IP addresses located in Japan to the
wrong country and the wrong coordinates.

When the updated databases are released today, you will be able to download them
via
[your account portal](https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/current/geoip/downloads),
or using [your GeoIP Update program](/geoip/updating-databases). If you use any
of the GeoIP2 web services, you will have access to the updated data with no
further action required.
