Pricing
Every service carries a published range, and nothing is added behind it. Pick what you think you need below and the panel adds it up — including what continues monthly.
Model cases
These are the shapes most entries take. Every figure is the sum of the items under it — nothing is rounded up, and the monthly column is separate so you can see what continues after launch.
Buy only the first step in the order. A working Japanese site is always part of it.

Every service
The full list, grouped by the order the work happens in. Tick anything and the panel keeps the running figure.
The ground everything else stands on. Nothing above it works until this is finished.
Becoming findable where Japanese buyers look — and giving them something to circulate.
Now — and only now — you sell. On ground that holds.

Ranges, not a quote. Your scope is priced in writing before anything starts, and it lands inside these figures unless we tell you first.
Free, and we say plainly if we think you should not spend it.
The $500 Market Entry Report comes before any of this, and comes off your first invoice if you go ahead. About the report →
Not included
These reach you as their own invoices, at their own price. We never take a cut of them.
How you pay
No engagement fee, no retainer for being a client, no cancellation penalty.
Every piece of work is scoped and priced in writing first. Nothing begins until you approve that number, and it does not move afterwards unless you change the scope.
We bill after the work is finished and you have approved it. You never pay for work that has not happened yet. Maintenance and running services are billed monthly because the work is monthly — but nothing is charged simply for being a client.
Code, copy, accounts and data are yours from the moment they are handed over. Stop at any point and you keep everything already built — no lock-in, no penalties.
Questions about money
Still unsure what your case costs? Describe it and we will price it →
The quote comes after we have looked at your situation, and it lands inside the published range unless the scope is genuinely bigger than the range covers. If it is, we say so and quote it before anything starts — the range is never quietly exceeded on an invoice.
We are a development company, so nothing is outsourced and no 20–50% middleman margin is added to a developer's invoice. We also do not take profit on the foundation — it earns you nothing by itself, so we price it close to cost and earn when you reach the next phase.
Yes, and we would rather say so plainly than surprise you. A live site needs maintenance — security updates, uptime, backups, small fixes and the server bill — and that runs $350–$600 a month. Growth services are monthly because the work is monthly: running LINE, handling enquiries, publishing content. What we never charge is a retainer or a contract fee — money for being available rather than for doing something.
You can, and you would get a website. What offshore teams cannot do is the part that decides whether it works here: write Japanese that persuades rather than translates, rank for a term written in four scripts, know whether your category is governed by 景表法 or 薬機法 or 特商法, wire up PayPay and convenience-store payment, or build a page that survives a Japanese company's internal approval. Compare us with the people who can do that — Japanese agencies — and we are a fraction of the cost.
You keep everything already delivered — code, copy, accounts, data — because ownership transfers at delivery rather than at the end of a contract. There is no penalty. The one rule: anything already in build is finished and invoiced before you go, so stopping happens between deliverables rather than in the middle of one.
It comes off your first invoice if you go ahead. If you don't, you keep the report — it is a written assessment of where you stand and what to build in what order, and it is useful whether or not we do the work.
Never. Media budget goes to Google, Meta, LINE or Yahoo! directly and you see the raw numbers. We charge for the work of running it, as a fixed figure agreed in advance.
