Seed Planning is a Japan-based research and consulting firm with over four decades of experience supporting decision-making across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and adjacent industries.

We work with both global and domestic clients to translate complex Japanese market realities into clear, actionable insights, grounded in on-the-ground research and long-term engagement.

Our strength lies not only in market research, but in judgment — balancing research and consulting to determine what can, cannot, and should not be done in Japan, taking regulatory, cultural, and ethical perspectives into account.

We support companies, public institutions, and local governments across the full decision-making process, from issue definition and market analysis to strategy development and policy planning.

Through objective, multi-perspective fieldwork and evidence-based insight built over four decades, we provide practical recommendations that help organizations move forward with confidence.

Seed Planning is known as a quiet, reliable partner — trusted by those who value accuracy, context, and long-term relationships.
