A favorable exchange rate, a stable legal system, and world-class technology and reliability make Japan one of the most attractive markets for foreign entrepreneurs right now.
Language barriers, complex administrative procedures, and unfamiliar business customs are real obstacles. We remove every one of them for you.
Japan's rule of law and long-term stability make it a secure base for sustained business operations.
A sustained weak yen has brought entry costs, in foreign-currency terms, to historic lows.
Government policy actively encourages foreign investment, with deregulation underway in key sectors.
A Japanese entity gives you a trusted base for expanding across East and Southeast Asia.
Answer six quick questions to see what kind of support your situation requires.
From incorporation to day-to-day operations, we provide everything you need under one roof — cutting the cost and hassle of coordinating multiple advisors. We also work with a network of partner attorneys, tax accountants, judicial scriveners (shihoshoshi), and administrative scriveners (gyoseishoshi) for specialized matters.
Please note that Japanese law prohibits an unqualified party from intermediating between a licensed professional and a client to take a margin. For work we are not legally permitted to handle ourselves, we therefore refer you to licensed professionals at no referral fee. If there is a specific licensed professional you would like to work with, please let us know and we will accommodate that.
If you face few barriers in establishing and running a company, your fee may be lower than the listed amount when you engage us, or in some cases we may simply refer you to a licensed professional without providing our own services (and therefore without any fee to us).
This plan is designed for anyone who is a foreign national, is not a native Japanese speaker, or lives outside Japan — meeting just one of these applies. It's a complete, one-stop package covering everything from incorporation to opening a corporate bank account in Japan. It also includes 14 months of business operations consulting after formation, covering you through your first fiscal year-end tax filing.
The Japanese-language Articles of Incorporation are the only legally binding version. We provide a reference translation into your language so you can review the content.
Opening a corporate bank account is the single hardest step in this process. Due to tightened anti-money-laundering and fraud-prevention screening in recent years, banks typically require: (1) valid Japanese residency status, (2) an explanation of your business in Japanese, (3) an in-person branch visit by the representative director, and (4) documentation or a website proving your business is real. This makes account opening especially difficult for applicants living outside Japan or without strong Japanese language skills.
We support the corporate bank account opening process. If none of your directors are Japan-based residents and this becomes a barrier to opening an account, talk to us — we're happy to discuss your options.

Law, government administration, and real estate — the three fields most critical to entering the Japanese market — all under one roof. There's no need to coordinate multiple advisors. One team with broad expertise handles everything from start to finish, and stays with you as a long-term business partner.
Our firm was founded by a licensed legal professional specializing in legal and administrative procedure in Japan. From incorporation and licensing applications to contract review, we handle Japan's complex legal processes accurately and efficiently — going beyond paperwork to provide practical support grounded in legal risk awareness.
Our founder and extended family include multiple former public-sector employees. That firsthand understanding of how Japanese administrative processes actually work translates into faster, more accurate handling of licensing, filings, and interactions with government offices.
Our company was founded by a member of a family that has been in the real estate business for over 300 years. Backed by a nationally licensed real estate qualification and generations of hands-on experience, we support everything from selecting commercial property to negotiating leases and structuring real estate-related business arrangements — at a level of depth few competitors can match.
