About Us
Shogun Auto Japan was founded in Zama, Kanagawa, in July 2016 with a simple goal: to make buying, owning, maintaining and exporting a vehicle in Japan easier for our customers.
More than 10 years later, we've grown largely through repeat customers and referrals, while remaining committed to personal, bilingual service and Japan-quality workmanship.
As we expand our operation into the United States, we're bringing that same approach to customers around the world.
