Questions about this topic
Does it work for services, not just products?
Yes. We also study services: training, tourism, software or consulting. What matters is who would buy it in Japan, and through which channel.
Can you help me attend a trade fair in Japan?
We tell you which fairs fit, what it costs to exhibit or visit, and what to prepare. If you want support at the fair, we quote it separately.
Do you translate the website or catalogue into Japanese?
We don't do certified translation, but we can commission and review the adaptation with professionals. Our Hanma Labs division builds multilingual websites.
How much does it cost?
Each study is quoted according to its scope. Tell us your case and we'll reply with scope, timeline and price before we start. You pay nothing until you agree.
Are you lawyers or immigration agents?
No. We don't give legal advice or process visas. We explain what each procedure requires and, when needed, point you to a licensed professional.
