Why Us

How we differ

We'll get you over the culture gap

We're a fully bi-cultural team

Japan is a land of nuance and paradox. There are some elements of the culture that can be extremely difficult to understand. Our researchers are highly skilled at translating the complexities of Japan to the outside world in a way that actually makes sense.

Our experience is second to none

We're industry veterans

When you’re dealing with us, you can rest assured you are dealing with a seasoned expert. We’ve been around long enough to have pioneered several research methodologies in Japan, and we’re intimately familiar with the quirks of each. We use this experience to tailor solutions that we know will work in Japan to produce excellent results for you.

We're always open to new ideas and approaches

Being small makes us ultra flexible

As a boutique agency, every single client is of critical importance to us. We’ll make it our business to flex to your needs and inject your project with the sort of passion and energy that only a team with a personal interest in your success can provide.
