Strategy first.
Everything else, in service of it.

SAKURA INT is a consulting studio that also builds. That order matters: no channel, design, or line of copy gets made unless the strategy says it should exist.

The core service

Market-Entry & Web Strategy Consulting

Every engagement can start here, and most should. You get a 20–40 page strategy report, delivered with a full English translation — the same deliverable format trusted across 500+ Japanese client projects — covering:

  • How Japanese customers currently discover, evaluate, and buy products like yours
  • Competitor and category analysis inside Japan, including their SNS and search footprint
  • The channels that matter for your audience — and the ones politely not worth your budget
  • A prioritized, sequenced action plan with KPIs your team can actually measure

Research quality is kept honest by our statistics advisor, an associate professor of economics at Komazawa University. You can execute the plan with us, with your own team, or with any vendor — the report is written to stand on its own.

SNS Marketing & Management

Japan's social landscape is unlike anywhere else: X (Twitter) at cultural full strength, LINE as national infrastructure, Instagram and TikTok with their own local grammar. We handle account strategy, native-Japanese content production, posting, and community management — with reporting that ties activity to business outcomes, not follower counts.

Japanese SEO & Content

Japanese keyword behaviour cannot be translated from English — it has to be researched natively. We build keyword maps from real Japanese search data, produce editorial content that earns rankings on Google and Yahoo! JAPAN, and fix the technical layer (structure, speed, structured data) underneath.

Web Production & Localization

Websites and landing pages designed for Japanese trust conventions — the density of information, the company-credibility signals, the honorific register — and written in persuasive native Japanese by a specialist whose sales copywriting was featured by Japan's largest skills marketplace. Built on maintainable platforms and handed over with documentation and training, so you're never locked in.

Development & Systems

Reservation systems, membership areas, EC integrations, custom features — scoped and built as part of the strategy rather than bolted on. We're a certified business partner of Xserver, Japan's largest hosting company, so your infrastructure choices are safe by default.

Creator & IP Producing

We've advised creators from small channels to YouTubers and VTubers with over a million subscribers, plus character- and IP-driven brand projects. If your route into Japan runs through content, fandom, or a virtual talent, this is a rare specialty we happen to be very good at.

Not sure which service fits? That's normal — it's literally what the first free consultation is for. Tell us your goal and we'll propose the leanest path to it.

Start with a conversation,
not a contract.

Free first consultation, handled entirely in writing — so nothing gets lost, and everything stays on record. We'll tell you honestly whether Japan is ready for you — and whether you're ready for Japan.
