Thank you for visiting the website of Kawamura Tranaslation Services!
We are a translation company with extensive experience in this type of work since 1990, located in the city of Obihiro, Hokkaido, northernmost island in Japan. We have rich, extensive experience in translation of documents such as manuals or user guides of various products, import/export related literature, certificates and academic articles.
These documents need accurate translation because of its nature as public statements. Our clients include not only domestic enterprises and organizations but also companies in the Asia Pacific area such as China and Australia. Fixed costs and expenses required for business operations in our city are lower than those in metropolitan areas, allowing us in turn to reduce translation fees.
This also helps increase the quality of translation. Besides translation services, we also provide companies around the world with support required to know about and enter into Japanese markets. If you need our translation or international business support services, especially support required when expanding your business in Hokkaido, please let us know without hesitation.
