Are you looking for a reliable sourcing agent based in Japan with direct access to dealer auctions and auto auctions? I help overseas buyers source products from Japan — including used cars, vintage goods, retro items, and general merchandise — through professional dealer networks that are not open to the public. Most sourcing agents in Japan rely on public platforms like Mercari or Yahoo Auctions. I do not. I work through professional dealer-only networks, wholesale markets, and physical auction houses that require a license and established relationships to access. This means better prices, better inventory, and access to stock that never appears online. --- What sets me apart: Licensed secondhand dealer (古物商許可証): Holding an active secondhand dealer license allows me to legally participate in dealer-only auctions and wholesale markets across Japan. This is not something anyone can obtain overnight — it requires formal registration with local authorities and compliance with Japanese law. It is the foundation of everything I do. USS Kobe auto auction membership: USS is one of Japan's largest and most trusted auto auction networks. As a registered member, I can search, bid, and purchase vehicles on your behalf. I provide full auction sheet translations, detailed photo reports, and honest condition assessments before you commit to any purchase. Japan's used vehicles are known worldwide for their quality and reliability — and I can help you access them at auction prices, not retail. Physical dealer auction access (道具市場): I have direct, established access to dealer-only markets in Japan where vintage goods, retro electronics, antiques, collectibles, and general merchandise are traded in volume. These markets are invisible to the general public and require both a license and ongoing relationships to participate in. I have been buying and selling through these channels for years. 12+ years of Japanese e-commerce experience: Since 2012, I have been operating a multi-channel e-commerce business on Amazon Japan and Yahoo Auctions. I understand how Japanese products are graded, priced, and described. I know what sells, what to avoid, and how to assess value quickly and accurately. In-house multilingual team: I work with a small operations team that includes English-speaking and Chinese-speaking staff. This means you get clear, timely communication regardless of the language you work in. No delays, no miscommunication. --- How I work: Step 1 — Brief You tell me what you are looking for: item type, target condition, quantity, and budget. The more specific you are, the better I can search for you. Step 2 — Search I search through dealer auctions, wholesale networks, and physical markets. For auto auctions, I run searches across USS Kobe's inventory and flag matching vehicles with auction sheets. Step 3 — Report Before any purchase, I send you a detailed condition report with photos. For vehicles, I translate the auction sheet into English and add my own assessment. You decide whether to proceed. Step 4 — Purchase & Preparation Once you approve, I handle the purchase. I prepare the goods for pickup or work with your nominated freight forwarder to arrange export. I do not handle international shipping directly, but I can coordinate with your logistics partner. --- What I can source for you: Used vehicles: Any make or model available through USS Kobe. I specialize in finding clean, well-documented vehicles at competitive auction prices. Popular categories include JDM sports cars, kei trucks, camper vans, and low-mileage daily drivers. Vintage & retro goods: Retro game hardware and software, vintage electronics, antique tools, collectibles, and general secondhand goods sourced from dealer-only markets. Consistent volume sourcing available. General merchandise & wholesale: Household goods, tools, industrial equipment, and mixed lots. Suitable for resellers and importers looking for reliable ongoing supply from Japan. --- China sourcing support: In addition to Japan-side sourcing, I have deep experience in China. I operated a sourcing office in Yiwu and have supported 100+ companies over 12 years through Alibaba, 1688, and direct factory engagement. If your business needs span both Japan and China, I can cover both sides from a single point of contact. --- Whether you need a one-time purchase, an auction report, or a long-term sourcing partner based in Japan, I am ready to help. Let's talk about what you need.

Please note: I am not a licensed attorney and therefore cannot represent clients in court proceedings. I have extensive knowledge of immigration matters in Japan, including working visas, spouse visas, permanent residency, long-term residency, designated activities, and naturalization. I am qualified to act as an agent for visa/status applications and can submit required documents to any regional immigration office in Japan using the official electronic application system. Depending on the type of visa, applicants are required to provide various supporting documents to demonstrate their eligibility. The requirements vary significantly based on the applicant's job or personal circumstances, and specialized knowledge is often necessary to successfully navigate the immigration examination process. For clients seeking a Business Manager Visa, I also offer full support for establishing a company in Japan. The process of setting up a company as a non-Japanese national involves complex and often confusing requirements. I assist clients by providing consultation and preparing all necessary documentation to meet legal and immigration standards. Additionally, I have partnerships with specialists in Japanese genealogy. I personally assist descendants of Japanese immigrants in obtaining their ancestors' family registers (koseki) upon request. For those who wish to explore their family heritage in greater depth and create a full family tree, I can collaborate with genealogical experts to provide comprehensive ancestral records and genealogical reports.
