Today, I want to share my list of the top 10 MLM Companies in Japan, as I see it.
In my opinion, these network marketing companies are the best of the best in Japan. If you live in Japan and are thinking about getting involved with network marketing, you definitely want to research each of these companies.
This list is just my opinion. We don’t need to agree. I have done research, talked with other network marketers, and looked at the market share, product line and prices, compensation plan, company leadership team, and the company reputation when compiling this list. If your opinion is different than mine, leave a comment at the end of this article and tell me what you think.
Top 10 MLM Companies in Japan
Let’s start with # 10 and work our way down to # 1.
# 10: Amway

# 9: ARIIX
ARIIX has been gaining momentum in the network marketing industry during the past few years, mostly because of sound company management and a great distributor force. They do more than 0 million in sales each year and they specialize in health, wellness, personal care, and weight loss products. ARIIX has global offices in several different countries, including Japan.
What is most exciting for me has always been helping people realize that they can achieve their dreams of a successful future in network marketing, with only the sky serving as a limit. Seeing the positive changes that come when they realize their own power and potential—that’s what I call fun.
# 8: Forever Living
Forever Living takes the # 8 spot on this list. Tracing their roots back more than 40-years now, Forever Living Products is one of the most respected companies in the network marketing industry. They offer a large variety of aloe vera based products and have a very generous compensation plan.

Great products, a great compensation plan, and a solid reputation, I had to include USANA on this list of the top MLM Companies in Japan. They’ve been around more than 20-years now. They are a stable company with many reps in Japan.

# 5: Shaklee
Ever heard of Shaklee before? Yeah, I bet you have. They are one of the oldest MLM Companies still in business. Best known for their high quality health and wellness products at fair prices, Shaklee has a strong presence in Japan.
Twelve years ago I was skeptical about how any supplement could benefit me as I thought I had tried them all and felt no difference. So after hearing so many great reports from others and seeing the scientific evidence in the land mark study I decided to give them a try. Why not. 100% money back guarantee. Boy was I surprised after just six days. No longer do I see these as a luxury but instead as a necessity. I feel better now that I did way back when. 65 this year and on zero medications . This is my plan on preventing so many old age ailments. Staying healthy as long as I can

These are the best of the best when it comes to MLMs in Japan. I agree with your list.
Thank you. These are all great companies. Most have been in business many years now.
You should have done a longer list. So many Japanese MLMs are missing.

USANA does have an incredible compensation plan. One of the best even I might add.

I wonder how big MLMs are in Japan. The country just doesn’t strike me as very big on MLMs.
Japan has one of the biggest markets in our industry in the entire world, right up there with the USA and Brazil.
I think Amway should be further up in the list. I could be wrong though.
Amway has been in Japan a very long time. When I update this list, I might move them slightly higher.
This is the most comprehensive Japan MLM list I have come across. Many thanks for making this available.
I haven’t heard of some of the MLMs in your list. They must only be present in Japan save for some.
I like how you do extensive research when creating your lists. It makes the list very credible.
I don’t know much about MLMs in Japan. I am happy to see Amway on the list though.

Hey, Karl. Yes, Shaklee and Atomy both offer some amazing products you should definitely check out.

Yes, Amway has a very strong presence in Japan. They have for decades.
This information is very valuable for everyone because you always want to work with the oldest company in the market, the one that offers the best benefits for people, number one.
Established, older, proven companies are good, even if they are saturated in the marketplace. I am personally a fan of younger MLM Companies, the ones that are at least three to five years old, but they are much riskier than established MLM Companies.
I thougth USANA is only popular in Philippines and US. It never occured to me that it’s also popular in Japan too.

Yes, there are a lot of network marketing companies in Japan. The Japanese market is very favorable towards our industry. Other than the USA, it might be the one country with the most amount of MLM Reps.
I never thought that USANA will be part of these group in JAPAN. I am proud to be a USANA dealer.
USANA is a great company and they should definitely be on this list.
Japan is a huge nation with immense opportunities. It is a country which has varied scopes.
Yes, Japan is a big country. I love the Japanese people. They are the hardest working people I have ever met. Many MLM Companies have ventured there and grown big.
This is not surprising since everything is digital to be honest. Marketing regardless of area is the same. MLM though is relatively a new digital concept. Regardless it is here so may as well use it.
MLM is a relationship business. It can be done online, but to have a lasting, long-term business, you need to focus on relationships. You can’t do that online. This is why we are an event driven business. Attend every event yourself and promote events to your team. The more people you have attending events, the stronger your business will be.
I am a direct selling Agent in South India, have joined recently a month back in Atomy, and am sponsored and introduced by Mr. Baleshwar Yadav. Hoping that it’s a good company.
Awesome, I wish you huge success in your new business venture.
I’ve used Atomy products, and I can say they’re of really good quality. I’m not even aware that they are an MLM company until now. Quite surprising news really.
Yes, Atomy has some great products (from what I have been told). And their prices are some of the best prices in our industry.
My DIL is moving to Japan with my Marine son for the next two years and is looking for a way to make money in a country she is not familiar. Do you have any suggestions? She currently is a Pure Romance Consultant so she understands how MLMs work.
Thank you
Does Pure Romance do business in Japan? If not, I would find a company with a local headquarters in Japan that does business internationally.
Japan is a big country with lots of MLM Opportunities. If you go with a Japanese based MLM Company, make sure it does business worldwide. Otherwise, when your daughter in law moves back to the USA, she will no longer have a business.
