Your Japan Desk in Europe
SATOM’s Japan Desk delivers Japanese B2B localisation for European companies entering or expanding in the Japanese market. Specifically, our service is led by a native Japanese professional. They bring 15+ years of B2B experience in manufacturing and engineering. Unlike general translation agencies, we understand both European and Japanese business practices. As a result, we bridge the gap between cultures — not just languages. Furthermore, we operate within European time zones for seamless day-to-day communication.
“SATOM is not a translation agency. We are a business partner who understands both the European and Japanese business tendencies — and how to bridge the gap between them.”
Built for B2B Companies Ready to Reach Japan
SATOM’s Japan Desk is designed for B2B companies ready to reach Japanese audiences, but lacking the internal Japanese-language capability or cultural knowledge to do it effectively.
Manufacturing & Industrial
We adapt your technical marketing content for Japanese buyers, handle incoming Japanese enquiries, and visualise product data in formats that resonate with Japanese procurement teams.
B2B Media
We localise your content for Japanese readers, manage Japanese-language communication with your leads and subscribers, and produce data visualisations.
Travel & Tourism
We update your promotional materials for Japanese travel operators, handle inbound Japanese enquiries, and create visual market insights that support your pitch to Japanese partners.
What We Deliver
Japanese is one of the most linguistically and culturally demanding markets to enter. In particular, AI-generated translations often miss grammatical nuance, tonal appropriateness, and typographic conventions. As a result, Japanese professionals immediately notice poor localisation. Therefore, SATOM bridges that gap with native-level expertise and over 15 years of B2B business experience.
