UK-Japan Trade, Leisure and Tourism

Creating Cultural and Economic Links Through Mutual Understanding and Exchange

Make Japan your next destination for trade and leisure opportunities. As human beings, we're very curious and we'll naturally look towards the outside world for inspiration, ideas, opportunities, new perspectives and just because we like to see what's going on next door. It's exciting to look at other cultures and learn about the way they do things. More importantly, it can help us to improve through learning new ways of doing things and opening up new markets.

Be sure to take a look at 'Living in Japan' and 'My Perspective'. Messages from the founder of 88 Culture which explain why we're here today.

If you're ready to move into new markets or learn how to better market your products to domestic or international audiences, you're ready to work with 88 Culture.

Japan ready for business with Britain

For business, making links within the UK allows us to increase our earning potential. Why settle for one shop in Liverpool when you can have five dotted around the city? Then having 25 more stores around the country will increase your earning potential. By moving into other countries, you can increase your earning potential even more.

Import and Export

  • Import - The current exchange rate makes importing from Japan more attractive

At first, the thought of trading with Japan can be daunting. There can be a lot of complications, especially when importing goods related to the automotive industry. With the right support, importing is less of a headache.


  • Export - Your Britishness makes your products appealing to Japanese consumers

When exporting, things can also be difficult; unless you have the required network of contacts to get your foot in the door and an understanding of Japanese trade laws.
