Business Visas for Japan by SHIMAX Legal is a Japan business visa and company registration service website for foreigners. Its representative, Keita Shimakura, lists registration details with the Tokyo Shiho-Shoshi Lawyer Association as well as relevant Gyoseishoshi registration information. The service focuses on Japanese statuses of residence, the Business Manager visa, and incorporation/registration of Japanese companies.
The site covers a relatively focused set of visa categories, including the Business Manager visa, intra-company transferee, Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, and Highly Skilled Professional. It also says it can handle Certificate of Eligibility (COE) applications, renewals of status of residence, and change-of-status applications. For company registration, it offers registration of Kabushiki Kaisha, Godo Kaisha, and Japanese branches of foreign companies. The jurisdiction is clearly Japan: registration involves the Japanese Legal Affairs Bureau, while visa procedures involve Japan’s immigration authorities and overseas diplomatic missions.
The website does not disclose attorney fees, Gyoseishoshi/Shiho-Shoshi fees, government charges, or package pricing, so the total cost cannot be assessed directly. Its timeline information is more useful: it recommends allowing about 6 to 8 weeks to establish a Kabushiki Kaisha, about 4 to 6 weeks for a Godo Kaisha, and about 4 weeks to register a Japanese branch of a foreign company. For work visas, it notes that processing may take several months depending on the visa type, and that applying for a COE first can simplify the process.
After registration, the site mentions that a company bank account can be opened and that required notifications can be filed with tax and social insurance authorities. However, it does not specify whether it provides ongoing bookkeeping, tax filing, social insurance support, or annual compliance maintenance. The Business Manager visa requires a dedicated office, and a branch office must appoint a representative in Japan, with at least one representative being a resident of Japan. That said, the website does not explicitly promise virtual address, registered address, or nominee Japan representative services.
Its strengths are its professional focus and its ability to connect company formation needs with Business Manager visa requirements. It also explains the procedures, documents, and legal differences between different entity types in relatively good detail. The drawbacks are the lack of information on pricing, payment methods, ongoing compliance services, and Chinese-language support. It is best suited to people planning to start a business in Japan, set up a Kabushiki Kaisha or Godo Kaisha, register a Japanese branch for an overseas company, or apply for a business or work-related status of residence.
Based on the crawled text, it is not possible to determine how stable access is from mainland China, whether the site can be reached directly, or what payment methods are accepted. Before proceeding, users should test network access and ask whether overseas bank transfers or credit cards are accepted. If Chinese-language communication, tax bookkeeping, or bundled registered-address services are needed, it is worth comparing local Japanese Gyoseishoshi offices, Shiho-Shoshi offices, tax accountant firms, and one-stop providers for Japanese company formation.
