Im an Australian man living in Japan for 10 years, I have the network (Govermentwise) to possibly get your product into the right networks for distributorship in Japan, Japan is a difficult market, and many times its not what you know but, WHO you know.
I have the network that tests the new product, and if successful you then receive the letter of reccomendation.
Without this letter its very difficult to get any BIG Japanese companys interested.
Also you would need to have an office opened here which also makes it easier to attract the Japanese distributors.
I have a factory here thats not being used in southern Japan, I can open and register any office, factory,house or business here for any international company.
And also represent this company to get you into the important business circles you need to be in.
Im off contract as of the 30th November 2009, So maybe a good time to negotiate your Japan investment and distributorship.
Also if anyone has dreams of having there product represented in Japan with a person who knows the whos who, then email me anytime:
