It opened its Japanese store in March 2016.
Belstaff’s exit from Japan means Belstaff Japan KK will no longer be responsible for direct sales and distribution in the far-east Asian country.
However, Japanese retailers can still sell Belstaff clothing directly from its UK base.
It comes as Belstaff halts its international retail expansion, and focuses on developing its wholesale distribution channel in Italy and wholesale retail and ecommerce in the US.
