What we do
JapanInsights provides tailored executive education in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, combining academic-level teaching with real-world learning experiences. We work with MBA cohorts and executive groups visiting Japan, as well as companies based in Japan looking for high-impact training, keynotes, and presentations. Our programs include seminars, workshops, and executive trainings supported by guided market immersion formats—such as marketing and retail walking tours, observation-based learning tasks, and structured debrief sessions. Depending on your objectives, we can also integrate company visits and carefully curated cultural experiences that bring Japanese management, innovation, business culture, cross-cultural leadership, and diversity management into a practical, discussion-driven learning format.
