- Private Tour Business
- otomo
It is a private tour service that introduces tour plans and guides around Japan for travelers visiting from abroad.
Today, more than 30 million travelers visit Japan each year from abroad. The needs of travelers diversify, and more guides are needed nationwide. After the revised interpreter guide professional law in 2018, it has become possible to engage in guide work without a national qualification.
We build a platform that acts as a guide to foreign language talents who live in various parts of Japan regardless of nationality, occupation or age. Providing a tour in a form that anyone can use, aiming to enrich the “travel experience.”
