The GoConnect Story

GoConnect was founded on a simple idea: to support local businesses during difficult times. In early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak had a severe impact on many businesses in Tokyo, threatening their survival. As a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) ourselves, we at Custom Media recognized the need for assistance and took action by leveraging our expertise in advertising and marketing.

Today in 2025, GoConnect.jp serves as a business and lifestyle hub for high-end expatriates living in Japan. We provide valuable and actionable information to enhance their experiences, both personally and for their families.

Vision: Our goal is to deliver exceptional service and become a trusted, leading resource for lifestyle and business information within the expatriate community in Japan.
