Rakuten (라쿠텐)
Major Japanese online marketplace where merchants can open a storefront and sell to Japanese consumers.
For businesses entering Korea
- Who it fits: Established brands committing to a full branded storefront in Japan; screening-based store opening rather than instant marketplace sign-up.
- English support: RMS back office is Japanese-only; bilingual onboarding support exists and international merchants from selected countries are now admitted.
- Becoming a seller: Apply on the store-opening site, pass Rakuten's screening and pick one of three store plans; opening takes roughly six weeks from application.
