Doing Business in Tokyo

From the first website visit to the follow-up message, we help Tokyo businesses connect marketing and communication so fewer enquiries slip through the cracks.

Tokyo is Japan's capital and one of the world's largest economies by city, home to major financial, technology and manufacturing headquarters.

Tokyo audiences expect high-quality Japanese content; LINE is the main messaging app, so WhatsApp suits international audiences.

Key business areas include Marunouchi, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi and Shinagawa. Our work for Tokyo clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Japanese, with English) and the regulations of Japan.

Tokyo Market Notes

Who your customers are

Tokyo's customers include finance firms in Marunouchi, technology companies, retailers, tourism businesses and manufacturing headquarters, in one of the world's largest metropolitan areas.

How they choose and contact a business

Japanese customers expect polite, precise communication, and LINE is the dominant messaging app.

When demand peaks

Golden Week, Obon in August, year-end bonus season and New Year are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches mention Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza, Roppongi, Marunouchi, Ikebukuro and Akihabara. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Japan

Japan has very high smartphone use, and LINE is the dominant messaging app, with LINE Official Accounts the standard way for brands to message customers. SMS is used mainly for authentication and reservations, and email newsletters remain more common for marketing than in many countries.

Credit cards, IC cards such as Suica and QR payments such as PayPay are common, and convenience store payment is popular for online orders. Japanese customers expect polite, precise and carefully proofread communication. New Year, Golden Week, Obon, the summer and winter bonus seasons and White Day are key commercial moments.

Japan is one of the world's largest economies, with car makers such as Toyota and Honda, electronics, machinery and a large domestic retail market, and an ageing population that is increasing demand for healthcare and home services. The consumption tax is 10%, with 8% on food. Japanese consumers expect polite, formal language and precise information, and many still use email and LINE more than SMS for marketing. The Act on Regulation of Transmission of Specified Electronic Mail requires opt-in consent and sender details for marketing messages.
