We had a week long holiday in Japan because of Obon festival. Most businesses including Japanese used car auctions are on holiday this week. So I planned to visit Thailand and India with my friend Mr. Shiotsu.
Crowded local train in Mumbai
It is summer here now in Japan and it is very hot and humid especially here in Tokyo. I was surprised to see that India was much cooler than Japan at this time. Our Indian friend Raj was kind enough to show us around in Mumbai as well as in the satellite city of New Mumbai. (more…)

I traveled to Memphis and Jackson in the USA. Memphis is famous for Elvis Presley’s home town and Graceland is a place that Japanese President Koizumi had been invited by President Bush just recently. I visited in these towns for business travel, but I had trouble with the immigration because of the influence of the terrorist issue in UK. It was impossible taking with me such items: plastic bottles, tooth paste, and pills. I needed prescription by the doctor if I wanted to bring medicines in the airplane. (more…)

I am enjoying my stay in Saudi Arabia for Japan Industry 2005 trade fair organized by JETRO. Here in Riyadh, I was happy to see many high technology skills of Japanese companies. Many of these are unknown in even our country.
During my stay here, I met many nice Saudi Arabian people who believe in Islam very much; however they are very friendly and honest. (more…)

I went to Okinawa from 10th to 11th July on a friendship tour with some fellow Japanese car exporters. Okinawa is located south of mainland Japan in the East China Sea. We were there for just two days but we did a lot of sightseeing as we were discussing about business.
Especially Mr.Nishida (President of Oriental Trading) and Mr.Nakajima (President of AID company) were awake till 5:30 AM discussing about the business. They are really workaholic !! I tried to stay awake till 4:00 AM, but could not control my sleep anymore. (more…)

I was out of Tokyo for last one week on a business trip to UK. I was not able to reply many of my mails and I am sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused to you.
Well, on an experiment basis, our company exhibited cars at two Japanese car auction houses in Britain. Profit was definitely not our objective; rather we wanted to learn by experience. We could sell 6 of our 11 vehicles. We plan to put the remaining 5 cars on auction next time. (more…)

So we will try to do our best to satisfy Russian customers.Today I went to JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization). JETRO is organizing a trade fair for exihibiting Japanese products in Saudi Arabia this November. (more…)

I’m back from my business trip to Russia.Well, overall the trip was fruitful, but I had some problems. First one was due to the fact I that I was not able to speak or understand Russian, which leads to a communication barrier. Russians don’t understand English much, and my only mode of communication was through one of my Russian friends.
An unpleasant experience I faced was I was taken by the police in their car while I was waiting for a taxi. I was questioned with full body and baggage check and released. But when I returned to my hotel room I discovered that the police had stolen my cash in the bag while they searched my baggage. (more…)

Today I am still working till late night because of many mails received. I also wasted my time because one of our potential buyers sent me a bank transfer statement of 1500 GBP from UK to Japan. I thought it was a fake one. I sent him my passport copy and requested him to send his passport copy, but he did not comply with that. I told him I may have to go to UK embassy to find out more about the bank statements.
We are getting ready for UK Auto auction on 21st June in SOUTHAMPTON and 22nd June in LIVERPOOL. (more…)
