Our story

Travel is about connecting people

For 20 years we built trust in Japan’s IT field. So why venture into tourism? The reason lies in our strong desire to "connect people with the world."

When our overseas plans paused in 2020, we travelled Japan again and realized: the essence of travel lies in "connecting people with people." Our greatest strength is "people."

Where you're headed

Discover the Tokai Region

Central Japan, around Nagoya — a region most travellers speed past on the bullet train but rarely stop to explore. Here’s why it’s worth it.

History

History

This is the cradle of the samurai age. Within a short distance of Nagoya, three of the most important figures in all of Japanese history were born within a single generation — Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the warlords who ended a century of civil war and unified the country around 500 years ago. Their castles and battlefields remain to this day: Nagoya Castle with its golden shachihoko, Okazaki Castle (Ieyasu’s birthplace), and Inuyama Castle, whose wooden keep is one of the oldest still standing in Japan. Just beyond, in Mie, the Ise Grand Shrine has been the country’s most sacred Shinto site for some 2,000 years.

Industry

Industry

Today the Tokai region is the engine room of the Japanese economy. Centred on the Chukyo Industrial Zone, it leads the nation in manufacturing — automobiles above all, but also aerospace, machine tools and ceramics — shipping roughly ¥60 trillion of goods a year, the highest of any region in Japan. Toyota was founded and is still headquartered here, and the Port of Nagoya has ranked first in the country for trade volume and export value for more than twenty years running. It is also a region built by international hands: tens of thousands of Vietnamese residents live and work in Aichi — a community we know well and are proud to support.

Entertainment

There is a playful side, too. Aichi is home to Ghibli Park, which opened in 2022 in the wooded hills east of Nagoya, and to the Pokémon Center Nagoya. The region runs deep through Japanese pop culture: the quiet country bus stop that inspired a famous scene in the anime film “Your Name” is in neighbouring Gifu, and Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, was born in Aichi. Add family favourites like the Nagoya Port Aquarium and LEGOLAND Japan, and there is something here for every age.
