How we can
help you in Japan
Whether you’re a business expanding into Japan, or an individual visiting or relocating here — Kinbachi offers practical, bilingual support every step of the way. Founded by a Singaporean and Hongkonger, we understand what it takes to navigate Japan from the outside in.
Doing Business With Japan
Finding the right Japanese supplier, manufacturer, or distribution partner is one of the biggest challenges for overseas companies. We leverage our on-the-ground networks to identify and vet potential partners — then facilitate introductions and support negotiations in Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, or English.
- Japanese supplier and manufacturer sourcing
- Distributor and wholesale partner matching
- Due diligence and partner vetting support
- Facilitation of initial meetings and negotiations
- Bilingual contract and terms review support
- Ongoing relationship management
Your personal guide to Japan
Whether you’re visiting Japan for the first time, planning a longer stay, or making the big move — we offer warm, personalised support in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. We’re not a travel agency or a relocation firm. We’re people who live here, know the region deeply, and genuinely love helping others discover Japan the way we did — one hidden gem at a time.
Japan Itinerary Planning
There’s the Japan you find on travel blogs — and then there’s the Japan that locals know. We plan personalised itineraries that balance the must-sees with the hidden gems: neighbourhood izakayas that don’t appear on Google, temple walks timed to beat the tour buses, Wakayama coast drives at golden hour, and Mie’s sacred Ise Jingu at dawn.
Tell us how many days you have, what you love, and who you’re travelling with — and we’ll build a day-by-day itinerary that feels like it was made for you. Because it was.
- Day-by-day personalised itinerary document
- Restaurant and dining recommendations (curated by neighbourhood, cuisine, and budget)
- Local tips on timing, queues, and what to skip
- Transport routing between destinations
- Bilingual location names for easy navigation
- Best-kept-secret recommendations from our own favourites
Relocation Support
Moving to Japan is one of life’s great adventures — and one of its great paperwork challenges. We provide personalised, hands-on support to help you navigate every step: residence registration, banking, real estate, utilities, and the hundred small things nobody tells you about until you need them.
We’ve done this ourselves. That’s why our support is practical, patient, and tailored to exactly where you are in the process.
- Pre-arrival checklist and timeline planning
- Residence registration (住民登録) and My Number support
- Bank account and mobile setup assistance
- Neighbourhood selection and area guidance
- Rental search, agent liaison, and lease support
- Property purchase advisory for overseas buyers
- Form filling and document translation throughout
- School and childcare research for families
