Licensing enquiries

JapanPass is built for Japan, and that is where our attention is. We are not licensing the system in other markets yet.

International licensing is not open. There is nothing to buy on this page, no pricing, and no commitment in either direction. If you run something similar in another market and want to hear from us when it does open, leave your details and we will keep them. That is the whole of it.

What the system is

An English-language layer over places a visitor can actually walk to. A catalogue of businesses across all 47 prefectures, hub pages by prefecture and city, and a guide product that hotels put in their rooms: a guest scans a code, answers one question chosen by the local time, and sees real places nearby with the walking distance to each.

The parts that took the longest are the unglamorous ones. Knowing which facts have been checked and which have not, and saying so on the page rather than presenting everything with the same confidence. Refusing to publish a guess when the honest answer is that we do not know.

What we are not ready to say

What a licence would cost, or what it would include.
Which markets would come first, or when.
Whether it would be a licence, a partnership, or something else.

Those answers do not exist yet, and inventing them to fill a page would be the wrong way to begin a conversation we might have in two years.

Register interest

We read these. We will not add you to anything, and we will not follow up until there is something real to say.
