We help brands conduct market research in Japan so that they can succeed in this challenging market. Understanding cultural context and ensuring proper localisation are especially important for brands wanting to target the Japanese market. Drawing on our local knowledge, we work with local and multinational firms on full-service market research projects that help them get closer to Japanese consumers and create products, services and campaigns that meet their needs. We can also work with businesses as a fieldwork partner, helping them to reach the right respondents across Japan.

We have a long history of conducting market research in Japan – and have had offices here for 17 years, spanning multiple cities. We’ve worked on a range of client challenges, most recently helping Bloomberg to understand how B2B decision makers’ priorities are changing as a result of COVID-19.

We have one of the largest online panels of any market research agency in Japan. We’re also a trusted partner for face-to-face research– from our interview rooms in Tokyo, we conduct over 1,300 groups and 300 central location tests each year.
