How to Start

Start with the
Entry tier.

A single consultation, interpretation session, or accompaniment can typically be arranged within a few days of your first inquiry.

Case 1

You want to make first contact

Interested in the Japanese market but unsure where to start. A candid first conversation, with no commitment beyond that.

Case 2

You're planning a market visit

Traveling to Japan for a market research trip and need interpretation and on-the-ground support. Visit accompaniment is billed separately as a working fee.

1

InquiryFree

Send your request and preferred dates through the contact form.

2

Hearing & diagnosisEntry tier (paid)

A 20ー30 minute structured hearing, using a proprietary set of questions, to pinpoint the real issue.

3

Proposal

Based on the diagnosis, we outline the support needed and how to proceed.

4

Delivery

Hands-on support ー interpretation, accompaniment, or briefing.

5

Follow-up

A short debrief, with suggested next steps if useful.

※ The initial inquiry is free. The hearing & diagnosis and everything after it are part of the paid Entry tier.

After the Entry tier, you can move ー at your own pace ー into ongoing support (Economy) or unified specialist coordination (Business), depending on what you need. Start with a single step.

Framework 01

The IZAKAYA-Talk
Approach

Genuine consensus in Japanese business rarely forms in the meeting room. This framework designs informal settings that surface honest concerns and unstated positions, accelerating trust-building well ahead of formal negotiation.

Framework 02

Stakeholder
Mapping

We surface the dynamics that never appear on an org chart ー shared alumni, capital ties, decades of trading history ー and design who to approach, and in what order. A practical framework for unlocking Japan's invisible decision route.

Revenue Model

A transparent, three-layer fee structure.
