*Access Paypal Online Payment Systems In Japan. Until recently many Japanese small- and middle-sized online concerns had to pay exorbitant fees for online payments or bank transfers. That has all changed. Paypal has come to Japan, so now you and your Japanese clients, sellers and buyers can transfer funds to and from Japan and simply set up shopping carts for e-commerce.
With more than 100 million accounts in 103 countries and regions, PayPal offers a fast, affordable and convenient online payment service for businesses of all sizes. So if you and your customers don’t have a good, simple method of transferring money or setting up a web payment system, then go check it out.
*Move Your Biz To Chiba Prefecture<<<<<
Chiba prefecture launched a subsidy program in FY2007 to promote relocations from outside the prefecture by foreign-affiliated companies that are already established in Japan or entering the Japanese market from abroad for the first time. The program subsidizes one-third of office rent for a one-year period for companies leasing offices and other facilities in Chiba prefecture.
The major feature of the program is that companies receive the subsidy as a lump sum amount, after the prefecture has approved their application.

Twenty Great Resources For Power Networking In Japan

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Some people would – without major objection – classify me as a lunatic or a fanatic. I’m an information collector. My Japan Directory of 4000+ Japanese-based sites in English and the Success Arsenal were both compiled over hundreds’ of hours combing the mainstream Internet highway, its alleyways, its sewers and its deserts. There were some very well-designed and fascinating websites discovered in my quest, yet quite a few of them were disaster zones (at least, on the English side of their site).

I realize that you don’t have the time or the mind to comb the Internet, glean valuable information, and then apply it to your business or educational pursuits. On the other hand, I love to do that. And I love to cut the fat from your search efforts so that you can concentrate on meaty results which can catapult you to success.

Who says foreigners are eitherrich or relegated to English teaching pastures?  Many opportunities lie in between.
