Inventive

We don’t rest on our laurels and continue to seek out and take on new challenges to improve and enhance our business with a creative mindset.

Adaptability

In an ever-evolving global economy, we believe in keeping up with the times and evolving with the changing environment, never shying away from new trends or insights even as a 100-year-old company.

We are committed to abiding by the guidelines that govern our work and acting in a way that fosters trust.

We believe in being sincere in everything we do to win our partner’s trust.

Personnel Philosophy

We continue to push forward relentlessly in our efforts for growth, while always making sure to respect one another in the workforce and achieve success through collaborative efforts.

More than 100 years ago, Sanyodo began its humble beginnings as a bag manufacturer and seller. Since the early days, our main businesses have expanded to include overseas travel goods, overseas souvenirs, various commemorative items, as well as regional development services.

Despite our growth, Sanyodo continues to embody the spirit of "Selling with sincerity and buying with faith," which has been passed down unchanged for more than 100 years, as the core tenet of our management.

As we look back on our history, we recall the many challenges that we faced across the years. At the same time, we see how Sanyodo has adapted to changing times, by changing itself to survive and thrive over the years.

One such example was when we were facing growth challenges in the bag manufacturing and sales sector, management made an important decision to branch out into a new business specializing in overseas travel goods in 1961 – a wise decision that stuck till this day.

In today’s modern economy, where everything is commoditized and transactional, Sanyodo hopes to be a different type of company that instead focuses on the heart through our thoughtful products and services.

Our simple wish? To deliver special memorable and priceless gifting experiences for our valued customers and their gift recipients.

As always, Sanyodo strives to embody the spirit of "Selling with sincerity and buying with faith”.

As a parting note, we would like to thank you for your continued patronage and support.

President and Representative Director Takeshi Maruyama
