Japan E-Commerce Operations & Marketplace Management Services

Outsource the day-to-day running of your Japanese stores to a cross-border Japan specialist. We manage Rakuten Ichiba, Amazon Japan, Yahoo! Shopping and Shopify accounts as your in-market team — so you don't have to hire, train or operate locally.

What this is

E-commerce management services, built for selling in Japan

Running a store in Japan is a daily job: listings to update, ads to optimize, promotions to plan, catalog and category rules to follow, and performance to keep healthy — all in Japanese. Bottleship's e-commerce operations service is the outsourced team that does that work for overseas brands. You keep ownership of the brand and the strategy; we handle the in-market execution.

Specialist focus: we operate only in Japan and cross-border-into-Japan. If you need a Japan marketplace and store operations partner, that's exactly what we do.

What we manage

Your Japan stores, run end-to-end

Marketplace account management

Day-to-day management of your Amazon Japan (Seller Central), Rakuten (RMS) and Yahoo! Shopping accounts — listings, inventory, orders, pricing and account health.

Listing creation & optimization

Japanese product pages that convert — titles, keywords, A+ / store content and ongoing CRO, built the way Japanese shoppers buy (not literal translation).

Advertising & promotions

Rakuten RPP and Amazon Ads management, plus sale-event and points-campaign planning (Super Sale, point-up) — tuned to ROAS and contribution margin.

Shopify & own-domain operations

Operating your Japanese D2C Shopify store alongside the marketplaces — merchandising, campaigns and conversion improvements.

Catalog & category compliance

Keeping listings compliant with Japanese marketplace rules and category/labeling requirements (cosmetics, food, supplements) so pages stay live.

Reporting & optimization

Monthly reporting on sales, margin and channel performance, with a clear next-move plan — decisions tied to profit, not vanity metrics.

Why outsource it

A Japan operations team without the headcount

No local hiring. Get native-Japanese marketplace operations without building and managing a team in Japan.

One team, every channel. Rakuten, Amazon Japan, Yahoo! and Shopify managed together, not five disconnected vendors.

Strategy and execution. We don't hand you a deck — we operate the stores and improve them month over month.

Profit-led. Operations measured against margin and LTV — the numbers that matter.

Who it's for

Overseas brands that are already live in Japan (or about to launch) and want to hand off day-to-day marketplace and store operations to a specialist — instead of stretching an overseas team across a market and language they don't operate in.

Let's run your Japan stores for you.

Tell us which channels you're on (or want to be), and we'll map what we'd manage and how. No pressure — just a clear plan.

Summary: Bottleship provides e-commerce operations and marketplace management services for overseas brands selling in Japan. As an outsourced, in-market Japan team, we manage Rakuten Ichiba, Amazon Japan (Seller Central), Yahoo! Shopping and Shopify accounts — listings, advertising (Rakuten RPP, Amazon Ads), promotions, catalog and category compliance, and monthly performance reporting — so overseas brands can run and grow in Japan without hiring locally.
