【About】
Welcome to Kyoto Sourcing Agent
Finding the right products in Japan can be exciting — but also overwhelming.
Language barriers, unfamiliar suppliers, and the distance make it hard to move
with confidence.
That's where we come in.
Based in Kyoto, we act as your eyes, ears, and hands on the ground in Japan.
From tracking down a specific product to visiting suppliers in person, we handle
the details so you can focus on your business.
We work with buyers, brands, and businesses of all sizes — and we tailor every
project to your specific needs. No request is too niche. No question is too small.
Let's find what you're looking for, together.
【About Us】
About Us
Hi, I'm the founder of Kyoto Sourcing Agent — a solo sourcing professional based in Kyoto, Japan.
I started this business because I saw how difficult it was for overseas buyers to source products from Japan.
The language barrier, the distance, the uncertainty — it shouldn't be that hard to find great Japanese products.
So I decided to be the person who makes it easy.
I handle every project personally.
That means you'll always be talking to someone who knows exactly what's happening with your order — no middlemen, no miscommunication.
Kyoto is my home.
Japan's markets, suppliers, and culture are what I know best.
And I'd love to put that knowledge to work for your business.
While product sourcing is at the heart of what I do, I also hold a Japanese real estate broker's license (Takken).
This allows me to help overseas clients explore selected real estate opportunities in Japan when the right opportunity comes along.

【Why Us】
Why Kyoto Sourcing Agent?
There are many sourcing agents in Japan.
Here's why our clients choose to work with us — and keep coming back.
───────────────────────────
📍 Locally Based, Personally Involved
We're not a large agency managing dozens of clients at once.
When you work with us, you work directly with a dedicated local
professional who knows Kyoto and Japan deeply.
🤝 Flexible & Approachable
No request is too unusual. Whether you need one item sourced or
an ongoing procurement partner, we adapt to your needs —
not the other way around.

All communication is in English. We understand the challenges
overseas buyers face, and we've designed our service to remove
every friction point we can.
🔎 Honest & Transparent
We give you accurate information, real photos, and honest
assessments — even if that means telling you a product
isn't worth purchasing.

We're not here for a single transaction. Many engagements start
with one simple request — and grow into an ongoing partnership.
We're here for the long run.
