Updated: July 2025, 12
There are an increasing number of cases where people are considering starting a new travel business, including those who have never run a travel-related business before.
- The inbound wave is recovering and I want to start a new business
- We want to commercialize areas in which there has been an increasing demand from customers, such as medical tourism.
- We want to plan unique tours that accurately capture the needs of people who want to go from shopping sprees to skiing sprees.
Registration is required to operate a travel agency.
However, since the registration process takes time, in order to start operations smoothly, it is necessary to understand the application requirements for registration and start preparations early.
The type of registration you need to obtain will depend on the type of business you want to conduct.

Guests’ Feedback
| In the case of K-TRAVEL Co., Ltd. | |
| I originally worked at a travel agency, and decided to utilize my experience and connections to establish a corporation and start a travel business specializing in travel to Korea. However, I didn't know how to start a company on my own, so I decided to hire an expert. The first expert I asked for had a Korean homepage, so I said, ``I'm sure he's knowledgeable about Korean affairs.'' ' However, as a result, the work did not progress very well and did not meet my expectations. My wife, who couldn't bear to see me in such trouble, searched for a specialist on the internet! "Trust," "Speed," and "Friendly Response." Focusing on these three points, they inspected every homepage from top to bottom. As a result, my wife recommended the support administrative scrivener corporation that I requested this time, saying, ``I think this place has a kindly friendly atmosphere.'' Experts seem kind of bossy, and in fact, I couldn't get along with them when I first asked them. However, Support Administrative Scrivener Corporation was different. Through the actual phone calls and first interviews, the consistent and courteous response shattered my previous image of an administrative scrivener. When I met with the person in charge, I was really anxious and said, ``I want to start right away!'' However, contrary to my impatience, I felt a sense of security when I saw the person in charge calmly grasp the situation and tell me what the problem was one by one. Also, that's not all. Above all, the speed was amazing. I applied for the request in late November, then applied to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on December 11th, and the registration was completed a month later on January 12th. I'm really surprised. However, on the day of the application, there was an incident where the Tokyo Metropolitan Government requested additional documents regarding the contract for the business office. At that time, the person in charge and I frantically prepared additional materials, and by the afternoon of the same day, we were able to gather the necessary documents and reapply to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. However, I spent about a month waiting for the registration to be completed, even though I was relieved that the application had been completed, but I was anxious to see if the registration would be completed successfully. It is very difficult for foreigners to start a business in Japan. If you continue to have problems, please feel free to contact us. | |
