Our ServicesOur Services
From market entry strategy to local marketing and Japanese-language websites, we support every stage of your expansion into Japan — in English, from start to launch.
Business Advisory
Market entry strategy for Japan
Entering the Japanese market takes more than translation. From market research and consumer insights to localization, partnership development, and go-to-market strategy, we helps brands unlock real business opportunities and achieve sustainable growth in Japan.
Cross Border Marketing
Reaching Japanese customers on the channels they actually use
Into Japan
Japanese consumers don't research or buy the way yours do at home. We plan and run campaigns on the channels they actually use — Yahoo! JAPAN, LINE, Rakuten, and Amazon.co.jp — with copy written by native Japanese marketers, not translated from English.
Out of Japan
We also help Japanese brands expand into Singapore and Indonesia. If Japan is your first step into Asia, we can take you further from there.
Digital Platform
Japanese-language websites and online stores
We build Japanese-language sites and online stores that convert: native copy, Japanese SEO, and the payment and delivery options local shoppers expect. We also manage content and campaigns after launch, so your store keeps running without a team in Japan.

About Us
Are you looking for a team on the ground in Japan?
That's what we are. We're a boutique consulting agency specializing in Japan market entry — small enough that you work directly with the people doing the work, and local enough to open doors that don't open from overseas.
You don't need a Japanese entity or local hires to begin. We act as your team in Japan until you need one of your own.
We work with you entirely in English, from first research through to launch — or in Korean or Indonesian if that's easier. Our background is in corporate advisory at a major Japanese commercial bank, so we treat your entry as a business case, not just a marketing campaign.
We work with overseas brands and organizations across a range of sectors, from highly regulated products to everyday consumer goods. We also work across Southeast Asia and in e-commerce, so your Japan launch is built with the wider region in mind.
