Who This Is For
This support is designed for overseas companies that will visit Japan and need practical help before or during the trip.
I only accept visit support when the schedule, location, language needs, scope, safety, and current capacity appear realistic. If the request is too broad, too urgent, outside my capability, or outside the permitted service scope, I will narrow the scope or decline it before paid work begins.
It is especially useful when:
- Your team will meet Japanese distributors, suppliers, partners, or customers.
- You will attend a trade show or business event in Japan.
- You need help planning realistic movement between meetings.
- You want local business context before or after meetings.
- You need on-site accompaniment for business communication and coordination.
- You want a practical follow-up memo after the visit.
What I Can Help With
The work can include:
- Visit-day planning and route coordination within a realistic time window
- Meeting context review
- On-site accompaniment to business meetings, trade shows, or site visits when schedule, location, language needs, and scope fit
- Business communication support during the visit within the agreed scope
- Coordination of practical next steps during the day
- Organization of confirmed points, open questions, and follow-up actions
- Limited practical coordination for non-confidential private visits when appropriate and not regulated as travel-agency work
The goal is to make the visit more realistic, business-focused, and easier to act on after you return.
This support does not guarantee that a Japanese company will agree to meet, reply, continue negotiations, enter a transaction, provide access to a site, or accept any proposal.
Typical Support Patterns
| Situation | Practical Support |
|---|---|
| Business meetings in Tokyo or another city | Route planning, meeting context, on-site accompaniment, and follow-up points |
| Multiple meetings in one day | Time-window check, movement planning, and day-of coordination |
| Trade show visit | Visit plan, booth or company target list, communication support, and next-action memo |
| Supplier, distributor, or customer visit | Meeting preparation, accompaniment, issue organization, and follow-up questions |
| Mixed business and private schedule | Business-first coordination, with limited practical support for non-confidential private visits when appropriate |
Fee Approach
The public website gives only a baseline price signal. The final fee is confirmed individually after the visit plan, scope, dates, cities, time windows, and expense handling are reviewed.
| Item | Public Baseline |
|---|---|
| Full-day support | From USD 1,000 per day, plus actual travel and related expenses |
| Half-day support | From USD 600, depending on location, scope, and schedule |
| Longer or unusual schedules | Weekends, early-morning, late-night, multi-city, travel-heavy, or extended support may require a higher day rate or additional hourly fee |
| Actual expenses | Transportation, accommodation, meals during accompaniment, venue fees, ticket fees, reservation fees, and other necessary costs are separate |
| Expense handling | Actual expenses may be paid directly by the client or reimbursed later, as confirmed before paid work begins |
No booking, payment, or schedule reservation starts from the first email. Scope, fee, expenses, payment terms, cancellation handling, and service limits are confirmed in a written proposal or service confirmation before paid work begins.
What Is Not Included
This is business coordination and on-site accompaniment support.
It is not:
- A packaged travel product
- A travel agency service
- A licensed interpretation service
- Legal, immigration, tax, customs, licensing, certification, or banking advice
- A substitute for interpreters, lawyers, tax advisors, customs brokers, travel agencies, or other licensed specialists when those specialists are needed
- A service that guarantees meeting acceptance, venue access, negotiation results, sales outcomes, or public authority outcomes
Travel, accommodation, private reservations, tickets, and other third-party arrangements should generally be booked or paid directly by the client unless a suitable handling method is confirmed.
What To Include In The First Inquiry
A short non-confidential summary is enough.
If possible, include:
- Company name and country
- Website or public company information
- Product or service
- Visit dates or expected month
- Cities or areas you plan to visit
- Meeting purpose
- Companies, trade shows, site visits, or private visits to coordinate
- Expected support length, such as half day, full day, or multiple days
- Whether you need on-site accompaniment
- Expense-handling preference, such as direct payment by your company or later reimbursement
- Main questions you want to clarify before or during the visit
Please do not send confidential documents, personal data, account details, passwords, or sensitive commercial terms in the first inquiry.
How The Process Works
- Send a short inquiry with the visit outline.
- I check fit, schedule feasibility, scope, and specialist-boundary issues.
- If the request appears suitable and realistic for my current capacity, I suggest the practical first step and missing information.
- Scope, fee, actual expenses, payment terms, cancellation handling, and service limits are confirmed in writing.
- Paid work or schedule reservation starts only after the agreed confirmation step.

At this stage, services focus on business research, market entry preparation, B2B communication, trade sales support, Japan visit coordination, and practical issue organization.
Formal legal, immigration, tax, customs, banking, certification, licensing, travel-agency, or other regulated professional decisions should be confirmed with the appropriate specialist or institution.
