Contents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Starting and operating a business in Tokyo comes with its fair share of unique administrative and practical hurdles. In this session, I\u2019ll share my personal journey of establishing and running my company in Japan with the support of TOSBEC. I\u2019ll walk you through the practical realities of early-stage setup, the real operational challenges I faced along the way, and how I maintained momentum post-launch. I\u2019ll also share why staying grounded in your mission is crucial when setbacks happen, and why shifting to a long-term marathon mindset has been vital to my growth. My goal is to give you an honest, grounded look at the founder path in Tokyo and leave plenty of room for interactive Q&A<\/p>\n
