About JIN

Built to bridge businesses and Japan.

We combine an understanding of how this market works with marketing, technology and execution — so international businesses can build what actually works in Japan.

Our belief

A different approach for a different market.

Japan is full of opportunity for the companies that take the time to understand it. Three commitments shape everything we do.

  • We propose what’s right.

    Honest advice, even when it means building less — or not starting yet. We turn down projects we expect to fail.

  • We execute ourselves.

    The people who propose it build it. Nothing is handed to an outside vendor with a margin on top.

  • Your growth is our growth.

    We earn when you move on to the next phase — not from retainers, contract fees or lock-in.

Why JIN exists

Bridging the gap between interest and real success.

Companies commit serious budget to Japan without knowing which conditions are still unmet — the missing pieces are invisible from outside. Translation and isolated campaigns rarely close that gap. JIN exists to put the conditions in place, in the right order, so interest can turn into traction.

Who runs it

Takato Minemura

峰村宇音

Founder · JIN MARKETING

Takato Minemura is the founder of JIN MARKETING and runs WINDE, a development company in Japan. Educated at university in the United States, he spent years working alongside businesses abroad, where the same request kept arriving from the founders he worked with — we want to bring this to Japan, how does it actually work there? Answering that question repeatedly showed him something he had not expected: what he had treated as ordinary common sense about marketing was in fact specific to this market, and the companies committing the most money to an entry were the ones least aware of it. He works on both sides of an entry, the strategy and the code that implements it, which is why the research here comes out of projects rather than desk study.
