Who Makes Your Calls into Japan
Japan is one of the world's largest economies, but most of its business runs in Japanese. Our English-speaking callers fit a specific part of it: the Japan offices of foreign companies, global teams and international departments, where English is the working language.
Tokyo is one hour ahead of Manila, so a Filipino caller works your Tokyo hours as a normal day shift.
Who this is for
Our callers call in English. In Japan, that works for the Japan offices of foreign companies, global teams and international departments. For most Japanese companies, a Japanese-speaking caller will do far better.

Cold Calling Rules in Japan
Is B2B cold calling legal in Japan? Yes. Japan's telemarketing rules in the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions are written to protect consumers, and contracts a company makes for its business are generally outside them. The Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) still applies to named contacts.
Here's how calling into Japan works, and what we do on every campaign:
- The Act on Specified Commercial Transactions sets rules for telephone sales, such as saying who you are and why you're calling at the start, and not calling back someone who has said no. They're written to protect consumers, and contracts a company makes for its business are generally outside them.
- We follow the same courtesy on every call anyway: your caller says who they are and why they're calling, and never calls back a company that has said no.
- The Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) covers how contacts' names and numbers are handled.
