About Us
& Our Story

Who we are

Connecting Japan with the world — that idea is where all four divisions began.
Here are the values we hold to, and the road that brought us here.

Mission & Vision

Why we exist.

Mission — what we are here to do

Keep carrying the real
value of Japan outward.

Digital carries the message. Regions change what is possible. Real experience moves people. Everything MARKEVISION does turns on one idea — that the genuine value in this country deserves to travel further — and we pursue it across four divisions.

Not broadcasting for its own sake, but creating connections that mean something. That is our mission.

01
Vision — the future we are working toward

A world where Japan and
everywhere else actually talk.

By 2030 we intend to be the platform connecting people around the world who want to know Japan better with the Japanese companies and regions who have something worth sharing.

Across digital and physical, across borders and industries — we intend to remain the hub where that conversation happens.

Core Values

Six values we hold to.

VALUE — 01

CEO Message

I want what is real in Japan
to travel further.

When I started MARKEVISION, one simple question was on my mind. Japan has so much that is genuinely extraordinary — so why does so little of it reach the world?

Was it the telling, the channel, or simply the translation? Working with company after company and region after region, the answer became clear: the value is there, but the strategy is not. That is why we keep sharpening digital marketing — the means of telling.

Going into the regions themselves taught me something else. There is treasure in this country that nobody has dug up yet. Local Innovation — designing sustainable local economies alongside municipalities and regional businesses — grew out of that conviction.

Japan Best Trip came from wanting people to step off the screen entirely and experience the real thing in person. When someone travels here and carries something home with them — that moment is the best return this business offers.

The four divisions look separate, but they all point the same way: connecting Japan with the world. We want to stand at that intersection. And we intend to keep running.

Our History

The road so far.

How one question grew into four divisions.

April 2024
MARKEVISION founded

Started as a digital marketing agency under the banner "the value of Japan, to the world" — helping small businesses and regional brands reach beyond Japan.

Autumn 2024
Local Innovation launches

Took what we had learned in digital into regional problem-solving, beginning joint projects with municipalities, tourism boards and local businesses.

2025
Tour business enters development

Responding to fast-growing demand from visitors for genuine experiences, we began designing a guided tour business.

2026
Japan Best Trip launches

Japan Best Trip launched as a third pillar joining digital and physical experience. The Travel Division begins.

2026
Akiya Concierge opens the Real Estate Division

Building on the municipal relationships formed through regional consulting and travel, we launched an English-language service supporting overseas buyers of vacant Japanese homes.

2026 onward
Human Resources in preparation — four divisions

Hearing the same thing everywhere — "nobody on site speaks another language" — we began preparing multilingual staffing support for inbound-facing workplaces, completing a four-division structure.

We would like to hear from you.

Whether you are a prospective client, a partner, or someone who shares where we are headed —
we are always glad to talk.
