A personal bridge between Japan and Europe.
JEPRA is a small, independent agency founded in 2026 by a bilingual operator who has spent the last decade crossing back and forth between Tokyo, Paris and Brussels.
Why JEPRA exists.
After watching dozens of European friends and small brands struggle with Japan — language barriers, Japanese-only marketplaces, opaque shipping, and intermediaries that disappear after invoicing — the founder wanted to build the agency he himself had needed.
JEPRA is owner-operated. There is no call centre, no offshore support team, no ticketing system. The person who quotes your order is the person who ships it. That keeps things accountable, fast and personal — and it lets us stay flexible enough to handle requests that bigger services simply refuse: a single second-hand camera, a one-off introduction to a Japanese distributor, a discontinued vinyl, a custom uniform for one shop.
Long-term, the goal is simple: make Japan as accessible to a sole proprietor in Lyon as it is to a large importer in Hamburg.
架け橋になりたい — 「日本と欧州、その間に立つ。」
The next 5 years.
Stay small enough to know each client by name. Stay flexible enough to handle the "weird" requests bigger services refuse. Build a quiet, durable bridge.
