Frequently Asked Questions
In Japan, the most common types of companies to incorporate are the Kabushiki Kaisha (KK), which is similar to a corporation, and the Godo Kaisha (GK), which is akin to a limited liability company (LLC). Each type offers different benefits and requirements.
Yes, Japanese law requires that any business incorporating in Japan must have a registered physical address within the country. This can be a rented space, office address, or even your own home.
