Kyoto, Japan
Your gateway from crowdfunding success to the Japanese market.
Wonderport Trading partners with creators of proven crowdfunded products and introduces them to Japan through exclusive partnerships and launches on Japanese crowdfunding platforms.
About
Bringing great ideas across the sea
Many outstanding products funded on Kickstarter and Indiegogo never reach Japan. Japanese consumers appreciate thoughtful design, precision, and products that save space and time — yet language, regulations, and local marketing often stand in the way.
Wonderport Trading closes that gap. We handle the Japanese side of the launch so creators can reach a new market without setting up a local operation.
Mission
To introduce well-made products from independent creators around the world to people in Japan, carefully and honestly.
Vision
To be a long-term, trusted partner for creators — a port where their products arrive in Japan and keep growing after launch.
Services
What we do for our partners
From first research to delivery to backers, we take care of the Japanese market so you can focus on your product.
Japan market research
We check demand, competing products, and pricing in Japan, and review the Japanese regulations that may apply to your product.
Crowdfunding launch in Japan
We plan and run campaigns on leading Japanese platforms such as Makuake and GREEN FUNDING, including Japanese-language pages and backer support.
Launch promotion in Japan
We build interest before launch through LINE pre-registration, Japanese-language product photos and stories, outreach to Japanese media, and announcements coordinated with your team.
Ongoing sales channels
After a successful campaign, we work to continue sales in Japan through channels such as Makuake STORE, Amazon Japan, and Rakuten.
How We Work
A simple, low-risk partnership
Our model is built on confirmed demand, so neither side carries unnecessary inventory risk.
Discover
We look for products that have succeeded on global crowdfunding platforms and have delivered to their backers.
Partner
We agree on exclusive distribution rights for Japan for a fixed period, with terms that work for both sides.
Launch
We localize the product story for Japanese backers and run an all-or-nothing crowdfunding campaign.
Fulfill
Once the campaign closes, we place a purchase order based on confirmed backers, import the goods, and deliver them in Japan.
