Japan is a country with high barriers to entry for foreign entrepreneurs. First, there is a language problem, moreover in order to start a new business, various conditions must be met. It is also not easy to open a corporate bank account that is essential for your business. Still, if you’re interested in doing business in Japan, why not open a small store?

It is one way bringing products handled by entrepreneurs in your own countries to Japan, but it is doubtful whether a business with no track record will be accepted by Japanese consumers immediately. In that case, a business that rides on an existing business model is more likely to succeed. Like the United States, the franchise chain business is thriving in Japan. As an industry, there are plenty of industries, from restaurants to nursing care businesses and even the real estate industry. Currently, the food and beverage industry is sluggish due to the corona disaster, but even in the midst of that, small-scale restaurants or shops focused on one product are operating well. In particular, shops with main focus on take-away and delivery are increasing sales. However, it is still not easy for foreigners to join such a franchise chain. If you have desire, I am ready to consult.
