FOR INTERNATIONAL BRANDS & ORGANIZATIONS
A world where getting older
means having more to look forward to.
Consumer insights, media and content for women 50+ in Japan.
HIME MODE JAPAN connects brands with the real voices, experiences and perspectives of mature women in Japan. Through consumer research, media, content creation and authentic storytelling, we help companies better understand and engage women aged 50 and over.
ABOUT
Understanding women beyond the numbers.
Japan is one of the world’s most mature consumer markets.
Yet women over 50 are often treated as a single demographic, despite having diverse lifestyles, values, interests and purchasing behaviors.
HIME MODE JAPAN was created to better understand and represent these women. We operate our own media and consumer businesses, giving us direct insight into how mature women search, choose, travel, shop and make decisions.
We bring these real perspectives to brands through research, content and media.

FOUNDER / CEO
Founder’s Story
Understanding what a woman decides to buy — and why.
Megumi Nomoto — Founder & CEO, HIME MODE JAPAN Inc.
Our founder has spent many years working directly in product planning, retail sales, PR and media for women’s brands — from affordable gift items and Swarovski-decorated accessories sold at department stores, to custom-made wigs priced in the hundreds of dollars.
Selling low-priced gift items taught her how displays, first impressions and a sense of value drive impulse purchases. Department store retail taught her how presentation, service and the right suggestion at the right moment move a customer to buy. And selling premium custom-made wigs taught her how to address hesitation, build trust before a purchase, and maintain long-term relationships with customers making a significant investment.
Today, she leads HIME MODE JAPAN’s consumer businesses — the custom-made wig brand Natureine and the travel media platform Kanreki Travel, alongside the company’s PR, content, consumer research and monitor & model services. Kanreki Travel is planned, written and optimized in-house, generating over 10,000 monthly organic Google Search clicks.
This hands-on experience — across price points, sales environments and formats — shapes how HIME MODE JAPAN approaches every project: not only listening to what consumers say, but understanding why they buy, why they hesitate, and how to present value in a way that resonates. It is also the foundation of the company’s belief that getting older should bring more opportunities, not fewer.
OUR PURPOSE
Creating opportunities as we grow older.
HIME MODE JAPAN believes that getting older should create new possibilities, not fewer choices.
By connecting mature women with research, modeling, content and creative opportunities, we aim to create more ways for women to share their experience, perspectives and talents.
