Nearly 37 million people visited Japan last year. Most first-timers 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.
“I spent 45 minutes at Narita trying to figure out which ticket to buy to get to Shinjuku. N'EX? Skyliner? Regular train? I had no idea.”
First-time visitor, r/JapanTravel
A real look at Yukitabi, from your first morning in Tokyo to your last train home.
The whole trip, explained the way a patient local would: with context, not just data.
Built to work offline
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.
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.
Find restaurants, read the menu, and know how to order. Photo guides for 31 dishes, including sakura-season specialities.
Tap any phrase to hear natural Japanese, with romaji and a show-to-staff card for when words aren't enough.
30 guides and 11 cultural tips on etiquette and customs, so you travel with respect and never feel lost.
Pre-trip, arrival, daily, and departure lists that adapt to your trip dates. 5 lists, nothing forgotten.
Tick your needs once and show one clear card, written in Japanese, to restaurant staff.

Our philosophy
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.
おもてなしの心でWith the spirit of omotenashi
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.
