Why This Matters
Japan’s SMEs are the backbone of its economy — especially in rural areas. Yet many face isolation and lack access to strategic thinking. Imura’s goal is to stand beside these business owners, not just as a consultant, but as a trusted conversation partner.
This site is both a service platform and a living archive of real-world consulting insights — shared openly to empower more people in and outside Japan.
