You misunderstand. That's not the resolver that Francois is using.
It's the authoritative name server for the domain he's trying to resolve
(maibokun.com).
wooledg:~$ dig NS maibokun.com
[...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
maibokun.com. 86400 IN NS ns3.fas.jp.
maibokun.com. 86400 IN NS ns.maibokun.com.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns.maibokun.com. 163881 IN A 210.143.111.171
ns3.fas.jp. 77481 IN A 210.143.111.241
[...]
As a *workaround*, sure, he could use a public resolver like Google's
8.8.8.8 as a sort of "proxy" that the Japanese name server is willing
to talk to. But short of that, he is completely cut off by the
router on the Japanese end.
