Google Workspace Discount Code in Japan | Get 15% Off Your First 3 Months

Setting up Google Workspace for your business in Japan and wondering whether you can bring the cost down?

You can. When you sign up through a referral link and enter a referral code, you get 15% off your Google Workspace subscription for the first 3 months.

This guide explains who qualifies, how much you save on each plan, and exactly how to apply the code — written for English speakers signing up in Japan.

If you already know what you need, request your code or go straight to the sign-up page using the buttons below.

What is the Google Workspace referral program?

Google runs a referral program that lets existing Google Workspace users introduce the service to new customers.

When you sign up through that referral route:

• You (the new customer) get 15% off for your first 3 months
• The referrer receives a small incentive from Google

In other words, it is a program designed so that both sides benefit. There is no extra cost or obligation to you.

Who can use a referral code?

You are eligible for the discount if all of the following apply:

• You have never subscribed to or trialled Google Workspace before
• You are not currently contracting through a Google Workspace partner or reseller
• You are starting a business or already running one, and have not yet used a work Google account

If you have already paid for Google Workspace, or your free trial has already ended, the referral discount cannot be applied.

What counts as "not yet using a work Google account"?

It means you are not using Google Workspace with your own domain (for example you@yourcompany.com).

If you currently use only a personal Gmail address such as you@gmail.com and now want a professional email address for your business, you qualify. Freelancers and sole proprietors in Japan are included.

If you do not go through this link, the discount may not be applied even when you enter a valid code.

Enter the code during sign-up

You can enter the code while signing up for the 14-day free trial. After you choose your plan, look for the "+ Add promotion code" link on the checkout screen and enter the code you received.

Things to check before you apply

The codes are region-specific

The codes distributed here are issued for the Asia-Pacific region.

If your company or business is based in Japan, you can use them without any restriction — this is the case for most readers of this page, including foreign residents and foreign-owned companies operating in Japan.

If you are signing up from outside the region (for example the Middle East or South America), the code may be rejected at checkout. You can check Google’s official list of eligible countries here.

Other points to note

• Each code is single-use and issued to one customer
• The discount applies to the first 3 months only; standard pricing applies afterwards
• The code must be entered during sign-up — it cannot be added to an existing subscription
• Codes are issued manually from a limited stock, so there may be a short wait if stock runs out

Frequently asked questions

I already have a free Gmail account. Can I still use the code?

Yes. A personal Gmail address (@gmail.com) is not a Google Workspace subscription, so you are still eligible.

Can I combine the code with the 14-day free trial?

Yes. You enter the code during the trial sign-up, and the 15% discount is applied to your first 3 months of paid usage.

What happens after the 3 months?

Your subscription continues at Google’s standard price. There is no lock-in created by using the code.

Can I use it for an account I already pay for?

No. The referral discount is only available to new Google Workspace customers at the point of sign-up.

Does it cost me anything to request a code?

No. The code is free, and there is no obligation to subscribe after you receive it.

Summary

Google Workspace brings together the tools most businesses rely on every day — Gmail with your own domain, Drive, Calendar, Meet and Docs.

Signing up in the normal way gives you no discount at all. Using a referral code takes a couple of extra minutes and cuts 15% off your first 3 months.
