Talk to usCREDENTIALS
Registration & standing
Investigation work in Japan is regulated under the Detective Business Act (探偵業の業務の適正化に関する法律): an operator must file a registration with the Prefectural Public Safety Commission before trading, and operating without one is an offence. The Hokkaido Prefectural Public Safety Commission publishes administrative sanctions issued against registered operators.
SERVICES
Verify that a Japanese counterparty is real, solvent, and clean. Corporate due diligence, background checks on hires, credit checks on suppliers, and screening against organised-crime ties — a check Japanese companies treat as mandatory and overseas firms rarely know to run.
Learn more →Not a translation of your existing site. Japanese buyers judge credibility by conventions that differ from Western markets — density of information, company disclosure, payment methods, and legally required notices. We design for those expectations.
Learn more →iOS, Android, and internal systems — including LINE and LIFF. LINE is the messaging platform most of Japan uses daily, and reaching customers through it is not optional here. Overseas development firms rarely build for it.
Learn more →Workflow automation, retrieval systems over your own documents, and multilingual chatbots that hold up in Japanese. Handling Japanese-language data well is the part that usually breaks — and the part we build for.
Learn more →WHO WE HELP
