New location - Shibuya

Our new office is in central Shibuya – the dynamic commercial and financial hub which has seen exciting innovations and an influx of business start-ups in recent years. We decided to make the move to take advantage of the new opportunities and working styles that have resulted from the pandemic. We are well-placed to continue serving you with the same quality and bespoke attention to detail.

Once we all come through the pandemic, it would be our pleasure to invite you to visit us the next time you are in Japan. Shibuya is not just a destination for trend-setting shops and fantastic restaurants: we also have Tokyo's most historically important and picturesque Shinto shrine – Meiji Jingu - on our doorstep. We'd be honoured to show you modern and traditional Japan in one afternoon!
