Comments from the Company
I incorporated my company in October 2013 just two years after I first visited the one-stop business support desk. The consultant helped me to find shop space by introducing a real estate agent. I have been up and running for a month now and am steadily seeing increased interest in the business. I feel that being sincere and making personal connections is important when doing business in Japan.
