Q1. What payment methods are available?
A. We accept Stripe (credit cards and compatible wallets), bank transfers, and PayPal.
Q2. What are the benefits of acquiring a .jp domain for the Japanese market?
A. The .jp domain is the most trusted domain extension in Japan. Japanese-language .jp domains are highly valued by search engines and provide an instant sense of trust to Japanese users. Even as a foreign company, you can appear like a local business, boosting brand credibility and customer acquisition.
Q3. What if the domain I want is already taken?
A. No problem. If your preferred domain is taken, we will suggest multiple alternative options with similar sound or meaning.
Example: If “お茶.jp” (tea.jp) is unavailable → we may suggest “抹茶.jp” (matcha.jp), “緑茶.jp” (green-tea.jp), or “まっちゃ.jp” (phonetic matcha).
Q4. How many good domains are still available?
A. Japan’s domain market is still a blue ocean. Many valuable keywords remain available in categories such as AI, tourism, food, and traditional culture. Securing them early will turn them into long-term brand assets.
Q5. How long does it take from acquisition to going live?
A. From the time we receive your preferred keywords, acquisition can be completed as quickly as the same day or the next business day. Naming adjustments and website production support can run in parallel.
Q6. Do you offer support beyond domain acquisition for Japanese market entry?
A. Yes. We provide comprehensive Japanese market entry services, including website creation, text and design adjustments based on Japanese culture and business practices, and SEO enhancement plans.
Q7. Is it okay if I don’t speak Japanese?
A. Absolutely. We fully support communication in English. During domain selection and localization, we will explain meanings and nuances clearly in English.
Q8. How is the pricing determined?
A. Pricing includes not only the domain registration fee but also professional services such as valuable name selection, alternative suggestions, brand compatibility checks, and cultural adjustments. This is a strategic package designed to achieve results in the Japanese market, not just a simple registration service.
Q9. Will there be any additional fees?
A. Usually not, but if a domain has a premium price or requires special negotiation, we will provide a separate quote.
Q10. How much is the renewal fee?
A. Renewal fees are generally about the same as the first year. However, changes in market value or domain management policies may affect the price.
Q11. Is there a refund if I cancel midway through the contract?
A. For annual contracts, refunds are generally not provided. However, we may consider exceptions in unavoidable circumstances.
Q12. What types of domains are most popular?
A. Tourism (e.g., kyoto.jp), food (e.g., sushi.jp), AI/IT (e.g., AItranslation.jp), and traditional culture (e.g., wagashi.jp) are popular. Short, easy-to-remember keywords tend to be taken quickly.
Q13. Can I consult with you if I already have a domain from another provider?
A. Yes. We can evaluate the SEO value and brand compatibility of your existing domain and suggest more effective .jp domain options.
Q14. What if I want to acquire other TLDs like .com in the future?
A. We can conduct market research and negotiation support upon request. However, .com domains are often expensive, so we recommend entering the market with a cost-effective .jp domain first.
