High concentration of foreign-affiliated companies inTokyo

Most foreign-affiliated companies doing business in Japan locate in Tokyo due its excellent business environment. Tokyo is a highly cosmopolitan city with communities of many foreign residents from around the world.

1. High concentration of foreign-affiliated companies

In Japan, more than 70% of foreign-affiliated companies are located in Tokyo. The reasons for this include, the ease of finding customers and partners, the high number of Japanese companies with headquarters in the city, the ease of acquiring personnel, and the high concentration of national government agencies in the city.

A large number of overseas investment agencies, including the commerce departments of various foreign embassies and foreign chambers of commerce, are located in Tokyo and support the business activities of foreign-affiliated companies in Japan.

2. Living environment

Approximately 410,000 foreign people from 190 countries are living in Tokyo. There are many foreigner communities and related publications to ensure daily life more convenient for the foreign residents in Tokyo.

Furthermore, the quality of life in Tokyo, such as hospitals with foreign languages support and the large number of International Schools are fulfilled.

3. Message from foreign-affiliated companies located in Tokyo

Avaya Japan Ltd.(U.S.)
With a population of more than 30 million in the entire metropolitan area, Tokyo's greatest merit is its extremely large market. In addition to its many customers, the city provides great benefits in terms of employment, with its high number of English-speaking personnel, world-class broadband services and other highly developed forms of telecommunications. Although personnel costs and office rent can be costly, Tokyo's ideal business environment makes investments in high value added products well worthwhile, and allows for sufficient profits to be generated.

		Katsumi Fujii President & Representative Director

Realtech Japan Co., Ltd. (Germany)
The best thing about Tokyo is the ease of finding business partners and sales customers due to the high concentration of outstanding large companies and SMEs located here. Being in Tokyo makes it easy to efficiently seize business opportunities because many of Japan's leading corporations have their headquarters, which hold decision-making authority, in the city. Furthermore, personnel - vital business resources for companies - are easy to acquire. These are just some of the merits of locating to Tokyo for a company expanding its operations.

Kazuya Matsuura Managing Director
