Japan Market Guide Editorial Team

Japan Market Guide is produced by an editorial team focused on one subject: helping foreign companies enter and grow in the Japanese market. Our work is grounded in Japanese-language primary sources that most English-language coverage never reads — METI and Ministry of Internal Affairs statistics, Dentsu industry reports, and the official documentation of Japanese platforms such as Rakuten, Yahoo! JAPAN and LINE.

How We Work

  • Primary sources first. Market figures cite official Japanese government or industry publications, with links.
  • AI-assisted, human-reviewed. We use AI tools in research and drafting; every article is fact-checked and reviewed by a human editor before publication. See our Editorial Policy.
  • Affiliate independence. Recommendations are never dictated by affiliate partnerships. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
  • Dated verification. Articles carry a last fact-checked date, and pricing or regulatory details are re-verified periodically.
