Struggling to find distributors in Japan? You're not alone.
You need the right partners to succeed in the complex Japanese market — but as you’ve probably discovered, finding these companies isn’t easy…
❌ Many have little or no English on their websites, so you won’t find them using Google.
❌ There are no online directories that you can search.
❌ And even if you can track them down… you’ll discover that they often ignore email from someone they don’t know.

How to avoid the #1 mistake companies make in Japan
I’ve seen it happen time and time again over the last 40 years.
A company new to Japan signs a deal with the first Japanese company that shows interest in their products.
Then, after wasting several years with little or no sales in Japan, they start looking for a new distributor — or leave the Japanese market entirely, believing there’s limited demand for their products in Japan.
Ironically, their products would often do well in Japan with a better distributor.
In fact, this problem is so common that almost half of our clients come to us because they’re unhappy with their current Japanese distributor.
