tourists in 2025 · Record high (+15.8% YoY)
85% of them find restaurants on Google Maps.
Invisible on Google Maps.
Japanese search — ラーメン
日本語 · ラーメン
This is how locals search. Not tourists.
English search — Ramen
English · Ramen
Tourists type "ramen". Not "ラーメン".
Korean search — 라멘
한국어 · 라멘
Koreans type "라멘". Nothing in their language.
If a restaurant's profile is only in Japanese, tourists won't find it on the map.
Invisible in AI search too.

The cost of being invisible
Unseen
Not on the map.
Not in the AI answer.
Unranked
Below Top 10.
Below the first answer.
Unsold
Lost revenue.
Every day. Every meal.
A restaurant tourists can't read and AI can't cite
doesn't exist.

Why now
Three forces. One moment.
Mar 2026
Google Ask Maps launching.
Search becomes AI-native.
2026
Travelers ask ChatGPT
before Google.
Now
Most Japanese restaurants
aren't AI-ready.
First to move wins.
The team
We are AI natives.
Engineers. Startup DNA — Silicon Valley to Japan.
Shipped. Sold. Learned — ¥20M in B2B Opr. system revenue. 30 clients in Japan.
Foreign in Japan is usually a handicap. In inbound, it's the edge — we're the only team here that sees Japan through a tourist's lens.
Now in Fukuoka — building something that works for Japan.
