    Let's look at the actual accounting information and discuss specifics.
    We will compare the information with your company's future business plan.

     

    Step3: Determination of inspection tour dates

    During the inspection tour, interviews with brand owners will be set up whenever possible.
    We do not just look at the stores or do tastings; we capture your imagination by interacting with the franchisor's management and senior executives.

    Transportation for inspection tours is often by rail.
    Japanese rail companies sell a special unlimited-ride pass called the Japan Railway pass.

    Participants purchased Japan Rail tickets to participate.

    We are not a travel agency and cannot arrange the tickets, but we can provide hotel recommendations.

    Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses to Japan, as well as transportation and lodging in Japan.

    The maximum fee for this inspection tour is 50,000 yen. If you are interested in joining a franchise, we will make a special offer.

    Voices of Participants

    I find it very useful 
    It was very interesting because before we came we had in mind like what we'd like but after seeing the brands and meeting the people in charge and involved in the brands it has changed our mind and changed our perspective so I think overall it has been very useful
     
    We have met a few brands that we think is very interesting and has good potential and like we were introduced to some brands that we didn't know before and it was good to find out more about these brands as well so yeah definitely good brands that has great potential overseas
     
    Yeah I think it's important that they have to do their research because what might work in Japan not necessarily will work in their country so it's good to see the operations and look at and study and see what the like with all the cost involved with all the work involved will it actually equal to success or so in their country so I think it's important to do some research and come in person to look at brands, how they operate before deciding if this will be a success in their country as well.
