About Shin Joho Center
Shin Joho Center was established in 1972 as an independent research organization and is currently incorporated as a General Incorporated Association under Japanese law. We primarily focus on government-commissioned statistical surveys, public opinion research, and social research. We also have broad experience in marketing research.

 

Our organization operates through a nationwide network of eight branch offices, supported by 45 staff members and 786 trained field interviewers. Through this structure, we provide professional research services in statistical, opinion, and social research fields.

 

We have extensive experience in data collection, processing, and analysis, as well as in the management of fieldwork operations. Drawing on a wide range of research experience, we are able to accurately understand and define research objectives across diverse social and economic contexts. Over the years, we have carried out a broad range of survey and research projects, including those commissioned by central and local governments, academic institutions, and private organizations across Japan.
