Eri Inaba

I'm a Japan-based administrative professional with experience in executive assistance, back-office operations, and workflow design.Before moving into administrative work, I spent five years as a crew member on a sightseeing train in Japan — guiding passengers through scenic routes while sharing the history, culture, and stories of the regions we traveled through. That experience gave me a deep, lived understanding of Japanese culture and history, and shaped the foundation of how I work: with care, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to making every interaction feel effortless.This is the essence of omotenashi — Japanese hospitality — anticipating needs before they're spoken, communicating with warmth and precision, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.As a native Japanese professional, I bring what's often hard to replicate from the outside — an instinctive understanding of Japanese business culture: the attention to detail, the commitment to deadlines, the careful communication style, and the unspoken expectations that shape how business is done here.If your company is expanding into Japan or working with Japanese partners, I can be the bridge that makes that process smoother — handling coordination, documentation, scheduling, and operations with the precision and care that Japanese business demands.Let's work together to make your Japan business a success.
