About Baton Direct

The Baton Direct Story

Baton Direct started from a simple frustration: international buyers loved Japanese kei trucks and classic JDM cars, but had to rely on listings with limited verification and inconsistent communication. We built this service to bridge that gap by combining digital clarity with real yard access in Japan.

Our role is to provide accurate condition context, transparent FOB and CIF-friendly pricing, and steady communication from inquiry to export. We focus on long-term trust over short-term volume.

Meet Takahiro

Takahiro combines engineering discipline with practical business execution. With a product-focused background, he designed Baton Direct to be operationally reliable: consistent listings, transparent process milestones, and multilingual-ready structure for global buyers.

Tamaho Shokai Partnership

Tamaho Shokai, founded in Yamanashi in 1995, is a licensed dismantling specialist with deep practical knowledge of vehicle condition and component quality. This partnership gives Baton Direct direct access to real inspection workflows and field-level experience that cannot be reproduced by listing-only exporters.

Our Promise

• Transparency: clear pricing structure, documented condition notes, and realistic shipping expectations.
• Quality: each listed unit is connected to practical inspection context, not just auction sheet snippets.
• Support: responsive guidance through inquiry, payment milestones, export documents, and delivery.
