Seminar on US Market Entry: Focus on Logistics and Fulfillment

Adventure JAPAN, led by CEO Noriko Tabata, will host a free seminar titled "Practical Seminar on Entering the US Market: The Importance of Warehousing, Logistics, and Fulfillment" on February 12, 2026. This seminar is aimed at Japanese companies considering cross-border e-commerce and expansion into the US market. The event enjoys the support of the non-profit organization ZESDA, which is headed by Daisuke Sakuraba.

In the face of increasing uncertainties following the establishment of the Trump administration and ongoing customs issues, this seminar will provide valuable insights and practical solutions to navigate the current landscape successfully. It aims to equip participants with a practical perspective on overcoming these challenges.

The seminar will feature Takamasa Seki, CEO of Glowkey, a company that has been supporting businesses entering the US market for many years. Mr. Seki will share his firsthand experiences and insights on the significance of logistics and warehousing, along with the risks and opportunities involved in venturing into the US market.

Glowkey operates its own warehouse in Los Angeles, specializing in fulfillment services for Japanese companies. Their expertise includes import agency services, support for launching and managing US e-commerce platforms like Amazon, and comprehensive assistance in B2B wholesale distribution. This seminar emphasizes the perspective that “expanding into North America requires a holistic approach from 'selling' to 'delivering.'” Participants will gain specific insights on common pitfalls, decision-making points, and practical advice that can guide their next steps.
