Intersect to Relocate Kyoto Office for Enhanced Business Expansion
Intersect Communications, headquartered in Tokyo and recognized for its international marketing strategies, is set to move its Kyoto office to Shijo Karasuma starting October 21, 2025. This strategic relocation aims to bolster business operations and enhance customer service in the Kansai region, particularly as businesses increasingly seek robust support for international outreach and inbound tourism initiatives.
Background of the Relocation
Over the years, Intersect has established a reputable presence in the marketing support and inbound tourism sectors, primarily from its bases in Tokyo and Osaka. In recent times, the company has broadened its scope in Kansai, providing diverse digital promotional services, cashless payment solutions, and multilingual support to retail and tourism businesses.
The new office, located in Shijo - the vibrant center of Kyoto’s business and financial activity, will significantly enhance the company’s ability to serve existing clients while attracting new businesses. This location transition aims to facilitate quicker and more efficient responses to clients' needs and strengthen collaboration with the Osaka branch. By optimizing the operational synergy between Kyoto and Osaka, Intersect envisions offering comprehensive support across the entire Kansai area.
