What Tokyo founders run into
Japanese B2B sales cycles run 9-15 months
Deep evaluation, multi-stakeholder consensus, and detailed proposals. Outbound + content + GEO must compound across that timeline.
Bilingual GTM (JP + EN) is mandatory
Domestic Japanese SaaS requires Japanese-first content. International expansion runs English-first. Most agencies handle one language well, not both.
Regulatory and compliance density
Personal Information Protection Act, electronic contracting requirements, sector-specific regs each affect B2B comms and outbound.
Relationship-led pipeline
Cold outbound less effective than warm introductions. LinkedIn presence, content authority, and conference engagement compound as relationship-building investments.
How we reach buyers in Tokyo
Japan paid mix uniquely includes Yahoo Japan Ads (50%+ of Japanese desktop search). Skipping Yahoo means missing major Japanese audience density. Facebook still strong relative to most APAC.

No. We build everything so your team can use it without touching code. You get dashboards, reports, and alerts that just work.

Primarily n8n, Make (Integromat), and custom AI workflows. We connect whatever stack you already have. HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Google Workspace, and more.

Default cadence is weekly Zoom reviews in JST working hours (9am-6pm). Strong overlap with Singapore (1 hour difference). Dubai is 5 hours behind, so async ops happen overnight Tokyo-time.

B2B SaaS scaling Japan + APAC, fintech under FSA, industrial-tech, AI startups. Less effective for purely-Japanese consumer apps requiring deep domestic cultural specificity.
