Our Mission

World-Class Quality of Japan’s Logistics

Japan’s logistics industry is highly regarded worldwide for its precision, punctuality, and meticulous customer service.

Centered around the parcel delivery system, Japan’s “last-mile logistics” is known for its exceptional efficiency and reliability — capable of delivering to almost any region in the country by the next day.

This high-quality logistics network is supported by the following key strengths:

• Culture of Punctuality and Precise Operations　Both corporate and personal deliveries maintain extremely high on-time performance rates, with minimal deviation — a rarity even on a global scale.
• Integrated Transportation Systems　Land, sea, and air networks are intricately connected, enabling optimal routing and smooth delivery nationwide.
• Nationwide Infrastructure　A dense network of logistics hubs, spanning from major cities to rural regions, ensures consistent delivery quality across the country.

These systems are made possible by Japan’s strong work ethic, deep commitment to customer satisfaction, and the integration of advanced technologies such as AI-based route optimization — a true fusion of precision and integrity on the ground.

The Approaching 2030 Crisis and the Reality of Labor Shortages

However, even this world-leading logistics system is now facing a major turning point.

With the introduction of the Work Style Reform Law in 2024 — which limits overtime hours (known as the “2024 Problem”) — and the continuing aging of drivers, it is estimated that by 2030 Japan’s transport capacity will fall short by approximately 34%.

Key challenges include:

• Long working hours and low wages
• Declining participation of younger generations
• Rapid increase in retirements leading to a shortage of drivers

These factors combined could destabilize Japan’s entire supply chain.

Today, the logistics industry must focus on building sustainable workforce development and new ways of working to secure its future.
