A Personal Sourcing Partner in Japan
Not a trading house, not a marketplace — one dedicated point of contact in Kobe, working on behalf of your dealership.
Built on Accuracy, Documentation, and Follow-Through
NAVIRA Motors was founded by Fumiya Shibasaki and is based in Kobe, Japan. Before starting NAVIRA Motors, Fumiya worked in accounting and financial administration — a background built on accuracy, documentation, and doing exactly what was agreed, every time.
That discipline carries directly into vehicle sourcing: every recommendation comes with a clear condition report, every transaction follows a transparent, risk-managed process, and every commitment made to a dealer partner is kept. NAVIRA Motors is new as a company, but the standard of care behind it is not.
Vehicle sourcing is a new industry for the business — export experience is being built deliberately, one partnership at a time, rather than claimed in advance. What's on offer instead is full attention: a single person in Japan who is genuinely accountable for your order, from auction to export.
A Port City With Trade in Its Bones
Kobe has been one of Japan's principal international trading ports for over 150 years — the kind of city that grew up connecting Japan to the rest of the world. It's also close to major vehicle auction halls and export logistics, which makes it a practical base, not just a symbolic one.
Operating from Kobe means NAVIRA Motors sits at the intersection of Japan's auction market and its export infrastructure — close enough to inspect, verify, and move quickly on your behalf.
Kobe, Japan
Base of operations for NAVIRA Motors — chosen for its port access, its auction proximity, and its long history as a gateway between Japan and the world.
The Commitments Behind Every Order
Transparency First
Vehicle condition and history are disclosed clearly and in writing — never glossed over to close a sale faster.
Risk-Managed by Design
A straightforward, deposit-confirmed process protects both sides of every transaction — no ambiguity about who holds what, and when.
Built for the Long Term
Pricing and priority improve as a partnership matures. This isn't a one-off sale — it's the start of a sourcing relationship.
Small by Design, Responsive by Default
You deal directly with the person sourcing your vehicles — not a support queue, and not a rotating cast of account managers.
A Sourcing Partner Worth Growing With
NAVIRA Motors is early-stage today, by design — a small, deliberately-run operation rather than a large one making big promises. The goal is straightforward: to become a dependable, obvious choice for a growing number of New Zealand dealers, one well-handled order at a time, and to keep the same standard of care as that circle grows.
