Chapter 01 · A Tokyo Practice
Japan engagements,
done in Japan.
We opened in Tokyo in 2023 with one rule: any work we do in Japan, we do from Japan, with people who actually live and operate here. The team is bilingual, half-Japanese-native, and runs out of the Marunouchi Building — on top of Tokyo Station, in the heart of the country's corporate district.
TEAM · ON-SITE
9
Bilingual strategists, K.K. and G.K. structuring specialists, and a senior client liaison. Half native-Japanese.
ENGAGEMENTS · APAC
31
Active Japan and APAC engagements over the last 24 months — market entry, supplier diligence, and structuring.
FLOOR · 7TH FLOOR
3,400sqft
Open studio, traditional meeting room (with shoes-off option), an 8-seat boardroom, and a private call room.
PARTNERS · NETWORK

Chapter 03 · Why Marunouchi, Why Tokyo
Three reasons
we sat here.
There are several Tokyo neighborhoods we could have picked — Otemachi, Roppongi, Shibuya. We chose Marunouchi for three reasons that translate directly into shorter engagements.
REASON · 01
On top of the country’s station
Tokyo Station sits beneath the building. Shinkansen to Osaka, Sendai, or Sapporo leaves directly below us. Our team can host a morning Marunouchi meeting and an afternoon supplier visit in Nagoya.
OUTCOMESame-day domestic site visits.
REASON · 02
Inside the corporate district
Marunouchi holds a high concentration of Japanese-corporate HQs, Big Four advisors, and the major banks. Most of our partner counsel is within a 5-minute walk — covered, even in summer.
OUTCOMECounsel meetings without leaving the block.
REASON · 03
Cultural alignment
Marunouchi is formal in a way our Japanese clients expect and respect. We don't ask anyone to come to a coworking space or a Shibuya rooftop — the address signals that we take their market seriously.
OUTCOMEA studio that fits the culture.
04
Chapter 04 · Visiting Us
What to expect
at the door.
The Tokyo studio is set up for serious working sessions: market-entry workshops, supplier diligence, and Japan-side board meetings. Plan for formality, precision, and excellent tea.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
A few things that make the visit smoother.
Confirm 48 hours ahead and bring photo ID for the building's lobby system. The Marunouchi Building has a registered-visitor system; we'll send a QR code with your confirmation. A BBD team member meets every guest in the main lobby.
Business attire is expected for Japanese client visits; smart-casual is fine for internal sessions. If your meeting is in the traditional room, plan for shoes-off — we'll let you know in your confirmation.
From Narita (NRT), the N'EX to Tokyo Station is 60 minutes; from Haneda (HND), the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho and the Yamanote Line is 30. Validated parking is in the Marubiru basement — bring your ticket to reception.
