Tsuyoshi Hidaka
Tsuyoshi Hidaka is a tax accountant that has worked in Fukuoka as a licensed professional for accounting and taxation for many years. He met Anton when he started to provide tax and accounting services to Junno Design, the company Anton co-founded in 2016 in Fukuoka. Sharing a similar outlook on business and understanding how difficult it is for foreign entrepreneurs to start up their business in Japan they decided to start this service.
Japanese people respect foreign people and welcome entrepreneurs that want to bring their products and services to Japan. Likewise, there are lots of unique and sophisticated products in Japan ready to be exported. Japan has many wonderful technologies and products but because of language barriers, smaller Japanese companies find it difficult to sell internationally and doing business here might be the blue ocean for you.

Anton is ready to share helpful advice on many aspects of doing business in Japan, be it listing and selling on Amazon, how to keep overheads down, how to source raw material domestically and overseas and much more. By using our service you will benefit from his experience as a foreign entrepreneur in Japan.
What makes us different?
We understand the difficulties foreign entrepreneurs face
Having good advice and low cost professional support is critical especially in the first three years when you are new and many consultants, companies and organisations are proposing their sometimes expensive services. In practice, few Japanese speak English well and almost none of the many official, tax and legal documents here are provided in English. With no or limited Japanese many foreigners here find themselves as functional illiterates, making it very difficult to operate their business.
