The registration is done through the Legal Affairs Bureau, a division of the MOJ. Jetro has the whole process well-documented on their website --> http://www.jetro.go.jp/en/invest/setting_up/ In my case, I setup a one-person Goudou Gaisha, and it took well over a month. I wasn't in a hurry, however. I've heard 3-weeks is the bare minimum to get it all done. - David Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:51:33 +0100 http://www.japanatron.com/japan/general/88-how-to-start-a-company-in-japan#comment-84 Hello. I am working for a Japanese Company as Contract Employee (keiyaku shain). After three years working for the company my contract will definetly expire and is written in the contract the company will not hire you as Permanent Employee. My boss suggested me to open, register my own company, and then this Company could hire my services. I wonder how much does it cost to open a one person company, and how time does it take? Where can I get the Official Information on how to start a company? Ministry of Justice, you said?? Thank you.
