Japan is incredible. Planning for it shouldn't be this hard.

First-time visitors often spend weeks researching across Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and scattered blog posts, then feel overwhelmed the moment they land.

Which train do I take? How do I order food? What is an IC card? The information exists, but it is spread across a dozen apps that do not talk to each other.

Everything a first-timer needs, in one calm app

A real look at Yukitabi, from your first morning in Tokyo to your last train home.

The whole guide travels with you

Every guide, phrase, dish, and checklist is bundled into the app, so it keeps working underground, on the train, and anywhere the signal drops. No account, no ads, nothing to load.

  • 30 guides
  • 31 dishes
  • 11 cultural tips
  • 3 airports

Airport arrival, step by step

From touchdown to your hotel door: which train, which ticket, which platform. Narita, Haneda, and Kansai, each mapped out so you never freeze at the gate.

Eat with confidence

Recognize common dishes, learn ordering phrases, and understand dining etiquette. Illustrated guides for 31 dishes, including sakura-season specialities.

300+ phrases, spoken aloud

Tap a phrase to hear Japanese speech, with romaji and a show-to-staff card for when words aren't enough.

Culture, explained kindly

30 guides and 11 cultural tips on etiquette and customs, so you travel with respect and never feel lost.

Smart checklists

Pre-trip, arrival, daily, and departure lists with progress saved on your device. 5 lists, nothing forgotten.

Allergy & dietary cards

Tick your needs once and show one clear card, written in Japanese, to restaurant staff.

A fieldbook for your next step

Open up your travel moment.

Save an arrival guide beside its checklist, or dining etiquette beside the Japanese words you need. A wider display gives both room to breathe.

Your own Fieldbook

Create a page, save reviewed entries and add private travel notes. Everything stays on your device.

A quicker route with Siri

Open a Japanese phrase, arrival guidance or your saved Fieldbook. Check your trip countdown or packing progress with Siri Shortcuts.

Siri AI search and opening require iOS 27 and availability in your language and region. Siri AI starts in English and is initially unavailable on iOS in the EU.

Find help in your page

Search your saved entries offline, or use optional on-device assistance to suggest reviewed entries. Read text from a selected menu photo without sending it to Yukitabi.

On-device assistance requires a supported Apple Intelligence device and an available model. It does not verify allergens or provide live travel information.

Our philosophy

Built with omotenashi

おもてなし (omotenashi) is the Japanese art of hospitality: anticipating what someone needs before they know they need it. It is what makes Japan's service culture legendary.

We built Yukitabi the same way. Not an app that just shows you data, but one that understands your journey, anticipates your questions, and explains things the way a patient, knowledgeable friend would.
