Kaigai Connect

At Kaigai Connect, we don’t just translate words—we transform how businesses connect across borders. Founded in Tokyo by a team of native Japanese, Australian, and European professionals, we specialize in cultural adaptation that goes beyond language. Our mission? To help Western brands thrive in Japan and Japanese businesses captivate global audiences—without losing the essence of what makes them unique.

Our Services

  • We don’t just translate words—we adapt your message for Japanese hearts and minds. From product packaging to legal contracts, our native Japanese linguists ensure your content feels local, not foreign.

  • Create logos, menus, and websites that resonate with Japanese aesthetics. We blend your brand’s identity with proven successful layouts.

  • Showcase your products through a lens that Japanese customers love. From minimalist styling for luxury goods or appetising food photography to “kawaii” flat lays for cosmetics, we create visuals that align with local trends.

  • Rank on Yahoo! Japan, Google, Line, and local directories. We optimize your site for keywords and integrate culturally relevant content that Japanese users trust.
