A Japan business directory built from the official record
Most online directories for Japan are listing sites where businesses submit their own profile, often for a fee. This one is built from the official record. Every entry comes from Japan business registries and trade registers, so you are searching all registered businesses in Japan, not just the ones that opted in.
Each record carries the legal name, registration ID, registered address, and industry classification, with revenue, employees, and corporate ownership on the larger businesses. Look one up by name or registration number, narrow by region or industry, and the search is free. When you need records in bulk, export to Excel or pull them through the API.
Searching businesses one at a time? Do it programmatically instead. The CompanyData API returns the same registry records as structured JSON, and your key starts with 150 free lookups. Explore the CompanyData API
