Japan EC Operation Agency

End-to-end Japan e-commerce operations for overseas brands.

LAUNOVA supports overseas brands across Rakuten, Amazon Japan, Yahoo! Shopping and Shopify, covering store setup, product localization, marketplace SEO, ads, customer support and monthly reporting.

Best fit for brands that

  • Do not have an in-house Japanese EC team
  • Need to decide which Japan marketplace to enter first
  • Want more than translation: SEO, ads, CS and ongoing operations

Where Japan EC usually gets stuck

  • 01 Each marketplace has different reviews, dashboards, SEO rules and ad products
  • 02 Literal translation rarely wins search visibility or conversion in Japan
  • 03 Japanese CS, returns, logistics and regulated claims require ongoing local handling
