IP geolocation is generally not an exact science, and similar anomalies have been discussed before: Why does hard coded node 'Faravahar' have a different geolocation (USA) than registrar (Mauritius)?

For example, this site (and others like it) check several different databases, and give several different results for the IP address you're looking at (including both Japan and the Netherlands, but also France).
