Travelers to Japan often miss authentic local activities because they're not listed on global booking platforms or require Japanese language skills.
Create a bilingual platform partnering with small local operators to offer cooking classes, craft workshops and neighborhood tours unavailable elsewhere.
Earn commissions on bookings while giving local businesses access to international visitors without requiring English proficiency.
Start with a single city like Kyoto focusing on cultural experiences before expanding geographically.
Risk: Requires establishing trust with both local businesses and international travelers in a crowded market.
