Blocks
Nickelodeon Japan is known to have had two blocks, which are:
 * Nick Jr. (ニック・ジュニア) (Like it's American counterpart, this block aired shows geared towards preschoolers such as the iconic Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clues)
 * WOW! (Not much is known bout this block, although it's assumed that it aired various marathons of Nickelodeon shows, mainly Nicktoons. The block had started around 2005 and ended in 2006)

Toys and Games
Back in the 90's, Nickelodeon's GAK and FLOAM products were sold in Japan under the respective names of "ガック" and "フローム". There were also some video games released in Japan based on Nickelodeon properties, but mostly SpongeBob SquarePants. Even the Nicktoons Unite was released in Japan, under the title "スポンジボブと仲間たち" (SpongeBob and Friends), but only "Battle for Volcano Island" and "Attack of the Toybots" and others were released and could be played on the Nintendo DS system.

Closing
In 2009, Nick Japan went off the air until early 2018. This was most likely because of a decline in viewership and/or low ratings. There's still footage and pictures of the Japanese version up on the Internet, however. The website is still up as well. A link for the website can be seen in the KaBlam! episode "KaFun!".

Up until 2018, a good chunk of Nickelodeon's shows were left without a channel to air on. The only exceptions were SpongeBob, which aired on NHK and Animax, The Fairly OddParents, which occasionally aired on Disney Channel Japan every year or so (it was also available to watch on Netflix and the Treehouse Direct Japanese YouTube account), and Jimmy Neutron, which used to air on Kids Station. As for newer Nick shows, a few of the sitcoms such as iCarly, Victorious, The Thundermans, and others aired on NHK, and some of their accquired cartoons like The Penguins of Madagascar and the 1980s, 90s, 2003, and 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon aired on Disney's Japanese networks. As for Nick Jr., The Backyardigans used to air on Disney Junior Japan (and was also on Netflix and YouTube like Fairly OddParents), and Dora used to air on TVTokyo.

Return in Subscription form
In late 2017, it was confirmed that Nickelodeon Japan would return in subscription form on Hulu during early 2018, after nine years of being off the air. The current shows on the newly launched Nickelodeon Japan include SpongeBob, Dora, TMNT 2012, Team Umizoomi, Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, iCarly, Rabbids Invasion, Blue's Clues, Rugrats, All Grown Up, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Avatar, Invader Zim, Wild Thornberrys, Supah Ninjas, Shimmer and Shine (in English with Japanese subtitles), Wallykazam (same as Shimmer and Shine), and Blaze and the Monster Machines (same as the previous two).

Found Dubs
The following Japanese dubs of Nickelodeon programs have been found:
 * SpongeBob SquarePants: There are many Japanese SpongeBob videos on the Internet, and they're incredibly easy to find so no link is needed.
 * The Fairly OddParents: Every episode that was dubbed is available on Treehouse Direct Japan's YouTube account (for people in the USA, use a VPN to view the episodes). />https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDkodzycIHvNHx-mty_UQZ8uqIuopJb7M
