The genkan (玄関) is the step between outside and inside. Every engagement starts there — one structured threshold, then four levels up.

01 — Two entrances · ご相談の入口

Which side of the threshold are you on?

Path A · 海外から日本へ

For global companies entering Japan

You have product-market fit elsewhere. We make it work here — in the language, the buying process and the infrastructure Japanese enterprises expect.

  • Go-to-market strategy, pricing and channel design
  • UX and product localization (copy, forms, payments, address formats)
  • Entity setup alignment with your legal and tax advisors

Enter the market →

Path B · 国内チーム向け

For domestic teams and startups

You run systems in Japan and need them modernized, documented and supportable — often with overseas vendors or engineers in the loop.

  • Systems architecture and cloud infrastructure design
  • Bilingual IT advisory and technical support
  • Vendor selection, RFPs and vendor management
