Japan is still an attractive destination for global businesses as it has been sustaining high income and purchasing power levels. In addition to this, Japan’s outstanding technical capabilities in the manufacturing industries are one of the factors the Japanese can be proud of.
Asian Road Inc. supports overseas customers wanting to launch a business in Japan or work with Japanese partners by utilizing our refined and effective communication skills, ample experience in the local market, and large network.
1. Promotion tools in Japanese and accurate translation are essential
Though some progressive global companies like Nissan, UNIQLO and Rakuten have adopted English as their official language in business, they are still in the minority here in Japan.
For the promotion, marketing and advertising of your business to be effective, tools in Japanese are indispensable.
Automatic translation systems on the web are convenient for grasping general meaning at a glance, however, as you might have recognized, they are still immature and lack the skill to translate your vision, the appeal of your products, subtleties in negotiation, and any other sensitive matters precisely and in an effective way.
Japanese is markedly different, in many ways, from many other languages, which makes it difficult to translate your mother tongue into ours.
By utilizing human power, skill and intellect with sensitivity, Asian Road supports valued overseas customers by providing appropriate and effective messages for your future partners in Japan.
