Why us

Why foreign businesses choose us

A great VA in Manila or Bangalore can run your inbox. But they cannot place a flawless keigo phone call to a government office, or read between the lines of a Japanese vendor email. We do.

  • 01 β€” Phone

    Native keigo, every call

    Inbound and outbound calls handled with the formal honorific Japanese (keigo) that Japanese counterparts expect β€” and that builds trust in seconds.

  • 02 β€” Team

    Boutique, not a call centre

    A small senior team, a single point of contact, and direct context retention across every interaction with your suppliers and clients.

  • 03 β€” Confidentiality

    Confidential by design

    NDA on day one, encrypted document handling, APPI-aligned privacy practices, and minimum-data principles for every workflow.

What we do

Three tightly defined service tracks built around real work foreign businesses struggle with in Japan.

Setup

Expat & Business Setup Support

The unglamorous work that decides whether you actually land in Japan.

Remote support for relocation logistics, utility and phone setup, bank-introduction calls, real-estate inquiries, and getting a child into a daycare list before it closes. Senior, discreet, and project-priced.

  • Relocation and onboarding logistics for expat hires
  • Bank, utility, and mobile phone setup
  • Real-estate inquiry and shortlisting
  • Daycare, school, and ward-office introduction calls
  • Document gathering for visa renewals and updates

Bureaucracy

Admin & Bureaucracy Support

Japanese paperwork, scheduling, and government coordination β€” finally off your plate.

From ward-office filings and tax-office letters to scheduling and document translation. We also coordinate remotely with your Japanese accountant, lawyer, or judicial scrivener (司法書士) so the loop is always closed.

  • Calendar and meeting scheduling (Japanese counterparts handled in keigo)
  • Translation of inbound mail, contracts, and notices (EN ↔ JA)
  • Government, ward office and tax-office coordination
  • Liaison with your accountant, lawyer, or scrivener
  • Vendor onboarding, hanko coordination, and document chasing

Communications

Business Phone & Reception

A Japanese phone line that always picks up β€” in flawless keigo.

Inbound reception, outbound calls to vendors, government offices, restaurants, venues and clients, message taking, and warm-transfer to your team. We also place difficult calls on your behalf β€” the apology call, the negotiation call, the city-office call where one wrong honorific costs you a week.

  • Inbound reception based on your needs and VA availability
  • Outbound calls to Japanese vendors, government offices and partners
  • Restaurant, venue, and travel reservations (including hard-to-book lists)
  • Message capture, summarised in English by the next business hour
  • Optional dedicated Japanese phone number
