Japan can start
in eight weeks.
No local entity, no local hires. Once we sign, Adakust becomes your Japanese side — the liaison, the stock, the exposure and the selling.
Three places brands get stuck.
No wholesale accounts
Japanese buyers don't commit without seeing the piece. The permanent showroom is that front door.
Coverage that goes nowhere
One feature does not become revenue. We plan media, stylists and creators across the year.
No one to run operations
Product setup, translation and stock reconciliation run on the AI OS. Your side does almost none of it.
Three ways to work together.
The first market diagnosis is free in every case. Fees move with the size of the range and the length of each run.

Frequently asked questions
How long does entering the Japanese market take?
Eight weeks as standard, from contract to first shipment. Weeks 1–2 cover the market diagnosis and first-year plan, weeks 3–4 the Japanese brand statement and commerce-ready product data, weeks 5–6 the start of permanent showroom placement plus approaches to media and retail venues, and weeks 7–8 the launch of sales and the first monthly report.
Do we need a Japanese entity or local staff?
Neither. Once you sign, Adakust takes on the Japanese side entirely — the point of contact, the stock, the exposure and the selling. Our own Seoul office handles purchasing, inspection and customs, so your brand never needs a base in Japan.
What does it cost?
There are three contract shapes: PR Only is a monthly fee, Retail is a monthly fee plus a sales commission, and Distribution is arranged case by case. Figures move with the number of items carried and the length of the season. The first market diagnosis is free under all three.
What does the free market diagnosis tell us?
Send us your lookbook and price range and we return a diagnosis report within one week, covering your likely position in the Japanese market, the competitors you would sit against, and how to approach the first year. We reply to the enquiry itself within three business days. There is no charge.
Who handles product registration, translation and day-to-day operations?
Adakust's in-house AI OS does — product registration, translation, stock reconciliation and the monthly report. What is left for your team is minimal, and you do not need to assign anyone to running Japan.
What languages can we talk to you in?
Japanese, Korean and English. The same three languages carry through from the first conversation to everything after the contract.
