Why we do this
For eight years, our work has been bringing Japan’s best products, brands and culture to customers in Taiwan.
Along the way we saw how many Taiwanese people love Japan and want to study or work there. Tourism alone brings 550,000–620,000 Taiwanese visitors to Japan every month — 6.76 million visits in 2025.
Japan, meanwhile, faces a serious labor shortage. Post-pandemic tourism and a weak yen brought a flood of visitors — and not enough staff to serve them, especially in fashion and food service.
So this is what we do: bring Taiwan’s talent to Japan. Not just any job — companies that genuinely want to work with Taiwanese people.
