How long does it take to develop business in Japan?
It really depends on the product and your commitment to quality, service, and support. Japanese plan for long term business relationships, therefore tend to move slower in the beginning as they build relationships and study the opportunity thoroughly. Once they are comfortable and an agreement made your business should develop more rapidly. As Japan has many differences in culture and way of doing business, the success of any product ultimately depends on flexibility to meet the Japanese market.
