My Story: A Journey into Japan's Business Realm

After gaining a long experience in international business and cultural studies, especially intrigued by the unique culture of Japan, I discovered a major gap between global investors & traders and the Japanese market. Drawing from years of research and hands-on experience in this market, I designed this course to train learners across the world to impart training, insights, strategies, and cultural proficiency to excel in Japan's vibrant business ecosystem.

About Me

I am Dr. Vijesh Jain. I am an international business professional, and I have spent more than 30 years of my career in international business, trading with many countries, especially dealing with Japan, its people, and Japanese businesses, both in exports and in doing business within Japan.

I have been part of several startups in Japan and have visited the country many times. I also have a complete series on Japan and travel in Japan on my YouTube channel. I am basically an expert on this country.


Why Japan?

The very first question that comes to mind before starting this kind of course is: Why Japan? The reason for trying to understand Japan and thinking of doing business with Japan is that this is a country that is largely unexplored. It is the only highly industrialized country in the world where just 3 to 4% of the total economy is run by foreign investments.

There is a deep lack of foreign investment in the country, which is due to many reasons — some stemming from government policies, but many from the failure of overseas investors to understand the country and the common mistakes they make. When they fail, they often abandon Japan.

It is both an opportunity and a challenge. Because foreign investment is low, the government of Japan wants investments to come from overseas investors, creating a great opportunity for successfully doing business in the country.

Another reason for dealing with Japan is that it is the third-largest economy in the world in nominal GDP terms — after the U.S. and China — and is constantly working to climb to the second or even first position. The country wants to open up and invite foreign investors, as it cannot progress further without them.

Japan is a mature democracy with a Western-style capitalism, though it may be a little unique. It is not the same capitalism known to the rest of the world. It has its peculiarities, such as the existence of Keiretsu and long working hours in industries. But it is indeed capitalism — dynamic and deeply rooted in a mature democracy.

Japan is a non-aggressive military power, and its behavior is peaceful. After World War II, the country renounced its right to declare war. Its military stance is friendly, positive, and purely protective in nature.

Japan also offers a mature and rich customer base that is highly sophisticated and demanding. Japanese customers look for high-quality, high-tech products. They are wealthy, discerning, and sophisticated — offering great opportunities for companies that produce excellent, unique, and high-quality goods. There is a very strong market in Japan for such products.


Challenges & Opportunities

Experience shows that while setting up a business in Japan can be difficult, once established, the potential for expansion and scalability is immense. Once a foreign investor achieves success in Japan, expanding the business across the country or scaling it up becomes much easier.

Japan also boasts the best physical and social infrastructure in the world — particularly in transportation, telecommunications, road and railway networks, energy distribution, sanitation, and water systems. The infrastructure is incredibly sophisticated and advanced — a model for the rest of the world.

These are just some of the highlights of Japan. The country remains an area of interest, investigation, and exploration.


New Developments

One of the recent reasons for the renewed interest of foreign investors, businesspeople, and exporters from around the world is the series of recent developments in Japan. The Japanese government has realized that to move forward and overcome internal challenges — social, economic, and business-related — it has no alternative but to invite foreign investors, entrepreneurs, and traders.

Starting around 2018–2019, several new reforms were announced to attract foreign entrepreneurs and overseas workers. Because Japan’s population is aging and its labor force is shrinking, new laws were introduced in 2019 to protect the rights of overseas workers — a major development. Several new types of business visas and facilities have been introduced to attract foreign investors and entrepreneurs.

Additionally, there has been a new push for infrastructure projects, especially due to the 2021 Olympics held in the country.

Japan remains one of the best business destinations today. With these new developments at both the government and business levels, it has become an even more attractive destination.

This course will explore every aspect of the country in depth and will make you confident in understanding Japan — its people, culture, business environment, and trading methods.
