Our vision and mission
Recently, Japanese culture and customs have attracted attention overseas.
Our company will not develop our own products, but will promote Japanese companies’ traditional technologies and services, as well as the soft aspects of Japanese customs and traditions. We will also expand and develop Japanese hospitality overseas.
In other words, this is a project called the “Giving Back Project.” We have received a lot of “Omotenashi (Hospitality)” through the products and services of various companies in Japan, where we were born and raised. We sincerely hope that this project will create a better mutual market environment between Japan and other countries. We also hope Japanese technology and services will be recognized more than ever. The Japanese economy will grow as a result of this.
Office-less and paperless
One of our founders, Sakamaki, has been proposing paperless office work to local companies for over 20 years.
We are completely office-less and paperless. Open your laptop and there you are at work. Although there is a drawback that it is difficult to know the boundary between on and off duty, we believe this is a greater advantage than that.
We are based in Japan but also overseas, but we do not need to spend a lot of money to set up an office. We hope to pass the savings on to our clients in service fees.
We understand that this may be inconvenient for some customers, but we appreciate your understanding.
