A Kobe trading house, built on seventy years of keeping promises
神戸から太平洋へ、70年の信頼。
Shinyo Koeki was founded in 1952 in Kobe, one of Japan's great port cities. For more than seventy years, our business has followed the same simple course: find superior products, stand behind them, and deliver them across the Pacific.
We are a one-stop trading partner. Foods and confectionery, generators, water and electrical systems, hotel equipment, industrial machinery, IT solutions, regulatory support — if an island community needs it, we source it, ship it, and see it through. Our suppliers span Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, France, Chile, and beyond.
We are small by design. Led by President Sanyo Yamamura, our Kobe office works with the same makers and the same island customers year after year. Ships arrive. Paperwork clears. Phones get answered. That is the kind of trading house we choose to be.
-
AReliability 信頼の実績
We quote carefully, ship on schedule, and stay reachable long after the invoice is paid.
-
BNetwork 太平洋の販売網
Decades-deep relationships with Japanese makers on one side of the ocean, and eighteen Pacific markets on the other.
-
CHeritage 神戸の商社の伝統
Seventy years of Pacific trade from the port of Kobe, carried forward one relationship at a time.
-
DBilingual Desk 日英対応
Every inquiry — English or Japanese — is handled by the same desk, so nothing is lost in relay and nothing waits on translation.
Our business is a series of promises kept: take the order, choose good products, load the ship, and see them to the island. Keeping each promise, one at a time, is what seventy years of trust across the Pacific is built on. We are not a large company — which is exactly why you will always know the person you are dealing with. Please, talk to us.

How an order works
お取引の流れ
From the first message to delivery at your port, one desk sees the order through — five steps, and the first one costs nothing.
Inquiry
お問い合わせSend us what you have: a product name, a rough quantity, even just a question. Form, telephone, or fax, in English or Japanese — consultation and quotation are free, at any project size.
Quotation & Proposal
お見積り・ご提案We confirm specifications, select the right products, and return a quotation. Where our maker network offers a better fit, we propose alternatives alongside it.
Order & Contract
ご契約・ご発注When the quotation suits you, we settle the terms and confirm your order. Until this point, there is no obligation on your side.
Arrangement & Shipping
手配・検品・船積みWe procure, inspect, and load your goods for shipment. Export documentation is handled on our side.
Delivery & Follow-up
お届け・アフターフォローYour order arrives — and the same desk stays reachable afterward. Many of our trading relationships simply continue from here, order after order.
Example — how a first order plays outFor illustration only
Suppose a hotel group in Guam writes to us with one mixed request: confectionery for guest rooms, a silent-type generator, and spare batteries.
- 1The whole request arrives as a single message through our form on Monday. Product names and rough quantities are enough to begin.
- 2Within 2–3 business days, a free quotation comes back — with alternatives from our maker network wherever they fit better.
- 3If the numbers work, we settle the terms and confirm the order. Until this point, there is no cost and no obligation on your side.
- 4We procure and inspect the goods, prepare the export documents, and ship from Kobe. Timing varies by product and destination.
- 5The goods arrive in Guam — and the same person who answered the first message stays your contact for follow-up and repeat orders.
A real first order begins the same way: one message through the form below. Request a free quotation →
