ShinTai:

Making the Invisible Visible.

A wooden table with a sword, a round mirror, and a potted plant with green leaves.

ShinTai (神体) refers to the vessel of divine spirit — not the form itself, but what it carries. We act as the ShinTai for your brand: translating global value into a form Japan can see, feel, and trust. In Japan, success is not shouted. It is earned — through alignment, respect, and patience.

How It Works

Our 3-Step Path to Japan

A woman with short blonde hair and a man with dark hair work together at a desk, looking at a laptop screen. The woman is leaning over, wearing an orange-brown dress, while the man sits, wearing a tan jacket and a yellow shirt. The desk has a white vase with white orchids, two mugs, a notebook, and a phone. In the background, there's an orange panel and a terracotta-colored decorative piece.

Proven Impact

  • "Japan always felt like a market we couldn’t decode. We had conversations, but no traction. Once we started working with ShinTai, things shifted — their team made introductions that finally clicked. We didn’t waste time chasing the wrong leads anymore, and that alone made a huge difference.”

    Raj C. – Director of Sales, Educational Toy Brand | India

  • “We thought setting up a Japanese entity would be a painful, expensive journey. But ShinTai took care of everything — the paperwork, the accounting, even our visa filings. It was a full-service solution at a lower cost than hiring separate vendors. We’re now established, visible, and credible — all within weeks.”

    Johnny Wang – General Manager, Pet Brand | Taiwan

  • “We’d been gathering bits and pieces of intel about Japan for years — but none of it added up. ShinTai gave us a structured, reliable way to understand where our brand could actually grow. We saved months of guesswork and were finally able to move forward with confidence.”

    Michelle K. – Head of Expansion, Baby Care Brand | Hong Kong

  • “Before ShinTai, our outreach felt like shouting into a void. Once we had a local presence in place and a clear partner strategy, the tone of responses changed entirely. It wasn’t just a shift in perception — it was a turning point in our market entry.”
