what our clients say about us
Definitely recommended Shogun Imports if you're planning to get a Kei truck. Derek has been very helpful and his communication is top notch, keeping me update on the progress of the Honda Acty.
Absolutely phenomenal experience dealing with Shogun! I was very hesitant at first, a lot of unknowns and not many people have experience importing. Derek and his team answered every question I had, were very thorough.
I bought a Subaru Sambar using Derek, Akiko, and Luke at Shogun Kei Trucks as the Japanese agent. Their service was complete and thorough. They were attentive, and the vehicle arrived just as they promised.
“ Amazing not only recommend but required service. These people will fight for you night and day, trying to find whatever you need. "
Although we opened at the start of 2025, we have listed reviews below from our family real estate business for foreigners in Japan and Derek’s lawn care business in Wisconsin.
