Company

Kanoshima LLC is based in Hiroshima and supports Japanese businesses expanding overseas and international businesses entering Japan. Our purpose is to help products and services reach the people who need them across markets. We aim to be a working partner who connects business direction with sales activity and day-to-day delivery.

“From Hiroshima to the world, from the world to Japan.” We see international business as a two-way relationship. We consider the strengths of Japanese products, capabilities and culture from the perspective of overseas customers, while helping international businesses understand Japan’s market and ways of working.

Our four business areas are international and Japan market entry, trade and product distribution, digital and e-commerce, and culture and artists. Developing a sales channel also requires clear product information, sales materials, online communication and operational preparation. We connect these activities around the client’s objective.

Support extends from market and prospect assessment to proposal preparation, scheduling, sales meetings and responding to questions. Exhibitions are an important part of this work: planning and preparation, product explanations and commercial conversations on site, then materials and follow-up meetings afterwards. We give attention to the work that follows an introduction.

Delivery is organized around the tasks and roles required for each project. Kanoshima serves as a point of coordination between the client and delivery personnel, organizing progress, information and outstanding questions. Proposals clarify who handles each activity and the agreed scope, helping clients focus on business decisions.

We aim to build an ongoing partnership that continues beyond an initial proposal. Agreeing objectives, scope, fees and timing provides a basis for sharing progress and market feedback, and choosing the next step together. Engagements can begin with a focused task and develop in line with the client’s business stage and resources.

Identify the research, sales, translation, production or operating tasks required, and confirm appropriate delivery arrangements. Proposals clarify the contact point, task ownership, decisions and reporting.

Where legal, tax, registration, customs or other specialist work is required, the relevant providers and coordination are scoped separately, with clear responsibility and contractual arrangements.
