GPlusMedia Inc.

GPlusMedia Inc. is a Japan-based company with a mission to "Reach, connect and engage with Japan’s international community." Founded in 1999, GPlusMedia has over 20 years of experience providing English services and information to foreigners in Japan. The company's key services include assisting in job searches, filling positions for companies, helping foreign residents find housing, and aiding in the adjustment to life in Japan. One of GPlusMedia's significant contributions to the English-language market for people living and working in Japan is the GaijinPot information portal, developed and managed by a multinational team. This platform quickly gained a large, loyal, and diverse following. The company expanded its operations by acquiring Japan Today, the country's No. 1 English-language news and commentary site, in the 2000s. The acquisition garnered attention from Japanese companies seeking to connect with the international community in Japan. In a series of acquisitions, GPlusMedia was acquired by Fujisankei Communications in 2015 and subsequently, Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd., a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed publishing company, in April 2022. As part of its commitment to helping foreigners in Japan, GPlusMedia has also ventured into offering study-in-Japan courses, online learning, and up-to-date travel information through its GaijinPot platform. Today, GPlusMedia stands as the producer of Japan's most used English-language news and information sites, including GaijinPot, GaijinPot Jobs, Japan Today, Real Estate Japan, and Savvy Tokyo. The company's expertise spans digital marketing, leveraging social media networks, video, and printed publications to help organizations connect with their target audience in Japan. Overall, GPlusMedia's extensive experience in providing essential services and information to the international community in Japan, coupled with its strategic acquisitions and partnerships, positions the company as a significant player in the advertising, real estate, and marketing industries in Japan.
