"The team at Yamato made my first import seamless. The unit arrived in Nairobi exactly as described. The WhatsApp updates were very helpful."
Yamato Cars — legally Yamato Tools KK — has exported inspected vehicles, trucks and construction machinery from Japan since 2013. We're headquartered in Yamato-shi, Kanagawa, with our own offices in Kenya and Tanzania, so there are real people at both ends of every shipment.
Importing a machine from Japan should be simple. In practice, too many buyers in East Africa have paid deposits to unknown agents, received units that didn't match the photos, or been hit with charges nobody mentioned at the start.
We built Yamato Cars to remove that risk. Being registered in Japan means we stand in front of the vehicle ourselves — we inspect it, photograph it honestly, and put our name on the export. Having our own offices in Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret and Dar es Salaam means that when your unit lands, you're dealing with our people, not a stranger.
That's the whole idea: one company, accountable from the Japanese yard to your gate.
See real deliveries →Bamburi Road, Industrial Area — where units land, get checked, and get handed over. Official Goo-net Exchange partner.
Every unit is inspected in Japan before export, and we show you the real photos and hour meter — including the flaws. You should know what you're buying before you pay, not after it lands.
Every quote is itemised: unit price, freight, insurance, estimated duty and our fee. If a cost exists, it's on the quote. No surprise invoices at the port.
We don't hand you off to a chain of agents. The same company that inspects the unit in Japan clears it at Mombasa or Dar es Salaam and delivers it to you.
Real people at both ends of the journey — in Japan where we source, and in East Africa where we deliver.
