Going out to the ocean from Senba, Honmachi, the center of Osaka City
The Japan office is located in the Senba Building which was built over 90 years ago and is designated as a tangible cultural property. The building has an atrium and a cloistered patio. We believe that this place with its European design is suitable as a ‘home port’ for our clients who are venturing out into the ocean to compete.
Goods coming to Japan from the rest of the world and to the rest of the world from Japan
The Japan office mainly focuses on the trade business, the main business since its founding, and also engages in the logistics and marketing businesses as well. At the same time, we aim to make the office a ‘door’ to the world for Japanese companies that want to import goods from Asia or Europe or export Japanese goods to the rest of the world. We also aim to make the office a ‘wharf’ where small-business people engaging in business battles with the world outside Japan can stop by, gather, and talk.
Overcome three barriers that prevent
overseas operations
and show Japan’s
manufacturing capabilities!
Show off
the power of Japan
More goods manufactured only by Japan shared with the world
According to the 2018 White Paper on Small and Medium Enterprises in Japan, just 3.5% of small and medium enterprises engage in exports. So Japanese goods can meet a greater need in the world than they are doing. More Japanese companies should turn to the world and market Japanese goods. Japanese companies’ manufacturing capabilities are even greater!
Language barriers, logistics barriers, and information barriers stand in the way
But given that just 3.5% of small and medium enterprises actually engage in exports, what causes the gap between potential and reality?
We believe there are roughly three causes: first, a language barrier that requires you to learn a foreign language; second, a logistics barrier that requires you to secure modes of transport and carry out formalities necessary for transnational trades; and third, an information barrier that requires you to practice public relations for people across the world seeking goods.

Challenge the world
Breaking down the three barriers―that is why HISHINUMA TRADING exists.
Since its founding, HISHINUMA TRADING has existed in order to break down the three barriers―language, logistics, and information―and has struggled to do so with its clients. In order to win the battle, we have steadily prepared weapons that can help Japanese small and medium enterprises in the context of our essential trade business.
Low-cost logistics service JAPAND, a global operations partner
JAPAND Logistics Service and its low-cost international logistics service make it possible to market small amounts of products overseas for test marketing and is used by many clients.
In addition, it can address a variety of marketing tasks such as designing and branding that appropriately reflects Asian or European trends.
What comes next is to build up relationships that enable the client and us as the escort runner to grow together and to break down the barriers. We aim to work as a partner who helps Japanese clients spread their wings around the world.
There are a lot of Japanese companies that despite their global potential with their appealing products or services cannot engage in overseas trade due to a lack of experience. On the other hand, there are overseas companies seeking Japanese products or services which cannot find Japanese business partners because of language or cultural differences.
JAPAND can help solve these challenges working as a bridge between overseas companies and Japanese ones.
