The Sayuri Story

Founded in 1998 with a capital of just JPY 3 million and a dedicated team of four people, Sayuri International Co., Ltd. began its journey with a simple vision: to provide high-quality vehicles at affordable prices while delivering exceptional customer service.

Over the years, through hard work, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, we have grown into one of Japan’s leading exporters of new and used vehicles. Today, we export between 800 and 1,000 vehicles every month to more than 40 countries through our extensive network of dealers, agents, and business partners worldwide.

Supported by a permanent team of over 35 dedicated professionals, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Many of our customers have been working with us for decades, and their continued trust remains one of our greatest achievements.
