About
Based in Saitama, working in two languages.
Many Japanese producers and wholesalers work in Japanese only and are cautious with unfamiliar overseas enquiries. Many overseas buyers do not know which producers export, or how to ask. I sit between the two so that a first conversation can happen.

About me
I started Japan Access Desk in 2026. Before that, from 2019 to 2025, I ran several businesses of my own. I live and work in Saitama, next to Tokyo, and I handle enquiries in Japanese with producers and wholesalers, and in English with buyers.
What I offer is direct, careful communication in both languages, and a clear account of what was confirmed and what was not.
