The state is located on the Japanese archipelago and consists of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, account for 97% of the total area of the archipelago. Most of the islands are mountainous, and many of them are volcanic, with Mount Fuji being the highest peak in Japan. Japan’s population is over 127 million, the tenth largest in the world. Greater Tokyo, which includes the capital city (Tokyo) and several nearby prefectures, has a population of more than 30 million and is the world’s largest urban agglomeration.

With the change of Japan’s economic environment, the change of the high-cost system, and the all-round reform of the regulations system, more and more foreign enterprises are investing in Japan, incorporating companies, and taking root in Japan for business activities, Japanese company registration mainly has the following advantages: 1:

Japanese company name choice is relatively free, Japanese companies are basically not subject to any restrictions, regardless of the size of the registered capital, as long as the words are not restricted by the Japanese government. The Japanese government allows the company name to contain words such as international, group, holding, industrial, investment, institute, association, center, research institute, etc., but you must have a specific operation and operation.

2. In principle, there are no major restrictions on the scope of business of Japanese companies, and any industry within the legal scope can apply for registration. For example: finance and investment, health care, shipping and transportation, import and export trade, real estate, construction, decoration, information network, clothing and textile, tourism, culture and publishing, etc. Some companies that are relatively difficult to register in Japan can be registered in Japan.

4. Japan allows the existence of shell companies, allowing companies to have no business and not to operate.
 
 If the company has been operating in Japan for more than 5 years and the person has been residing in Japan for more than 5 years, he/she can apply for a Japanese citizenship and a Japanese permanent visa for more than 10 years.
