FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions overseas teams ask us most often before starting a survey in Japan.
How quickly can you conduct a survey in Japan?
For a straightforward quantitative study, fieldwork and reporting typically take approximately 3–5 business days once the questionnaire is approved. Longer questionnaires, hard-to-reach audiences and complex analysis take more time. We confirm a schedule with you before starting.
What sample sizes are available?
Sample sizes are flexible, from small reads of under 100 respondents up to 3,000 or more. The right size depends on how you plan to break the data down — for example by age, gender, region or category usage. We will recommend a sample size for your analysis plan.
Can you survey specific demographics?
Yes. Respondents can be screened by age, gender, region, household composition, income, category usage, purchase behaviour, brand awareness and other criteria. Very narrow targets may require a longer field period, which we confirm before you commit.
Can you conduct B2B research?
Yes. We run studies with professionals, managers and business decision-makers in Japan, screened by industry, company size, job function and decision-making responsibility. B2B feasibility depends on the target definition, so please share it with your enquiry.
Can you help design the questionnaire?
Yes. You can send a business question and we will draft the questionnaire, or send an existing questionnaire for us to review and adapt for Japanese respondents. Japanese wording is always reviewed by a native speaker before fieldwork.
Can the final report be provided in English?
Yes. Data tables, charts and the written summary can be delivered in English. We can also deliver in Japanese, or in both, and we correspond in the 12 languages listed on this site.
Can overseas companies use the service?
Yes — the service is designed for them. You do not need a Japanese entity, a local office or Japanese-speaking staff. Briefing, questionnaire review, progress updates and reporting can all be handled in your language.
How much does a survey in Japan cost?
Pricing depends on sample size, target audience, questionnaire length and research complexity. Contact us for a quote.
How do you handle data quality?
Questionnaires include screening and consistency checks, and responses are reviewed for speeding, straight-lining and contradictory answers before delivery. Cases that fail these checks are removed and replaced where the sample plan allows.
What do I need to prepare before contacting you?
A short description of what you want to learn is enough to start. If you already know your target respondents, an approximate sample size and your deadline, include them — that lets us come back with a more precise proposal.
