JapanPass is an English-first guide to places across all 47 prefectures. Travelers and search engines come here to decide where to go. List your business so they find you, in English, when it counts.
We are built for the traveler who reads English and is deciding, right now, where to eat, stay, and go across Japan. That is exactly the moment you want to be in front of.
Thousands of listings across all 47 prefectures, written for English-speaking visitors. Not a regional site and not machine-translated.
Every listing is a real, crawlable page built for search engines and the AI assistants travelers now ask for recommendations.
Placement you can pay for is kept separate from our earned Curated badge. Travelers trust the site because we do not blur the two.
Start free and stay free, or step up to a partner tier for richer placement. Partner tiers are billed annually. None of them buy the Curated badge, which is earned separately.
Prices are annual and in Japanese yen. What each tier includes may be refined as we build. Curated is never part of any tier.
We are opening JapanPass to partners now, and the earliest supporters get the best deal we will ever offer. Join as one of the first 100 and your discount never expires, even when prices rise later.
Your founding rate is locked in for as long as you stay a partner. Bronze becomes ¥30,000 ¥24,000 a year, and it stays there.
A permanent mark on your listing that shows travelers you were here from the start. It is a paid-tier perk, and it is not the Curated badge.
Founding partners sit ahead of later partners at the same tier, so you get more of the attention while the catalog grows.
The green Curated badge means a member of the JapanPass team has personally visited a place and vouches for it. It cannot be bought at any tier, and paying for Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum does not make a listing Curated. Placement and trust are two different things, and we keep them apart on purpose.
Setup is assisted right now, so you are not left to figure out billing on your own. You tell us you are interested, and a person helps you get set up.
Fill in the short form below with your business and the tier you are curious about. There is no payment and no commitment.
A member of the team contacts you to confirm your details, answer questions, and recommend the right tier for your goals.
We handle the setup and, for founding partners, lock in your 20%-off-for-life rate. Your listing goes live or moves up a tier.
Not yet. Setup is assisted while we build out self-serve checkout, so you register interest here and we get you set up. It is a short step and it means fewer mistakes on billing and your profile.
No. Curated is earned by a personal visit from our team and is never for sale. Paid tiers change your placement and profile, not the Curated badge.
The first 100 partners get 20% off their tier for life, a Founding Partner badge, and priority placement over later partners at the same tier. When 100 spots are filled, the offer closes.
Yes. JapanPass is English-first and all-Japan, covering all 47 prefectures. Wherever your business is, you can list.
Yes. The Listed tier is free and stays free. Partner tiers are optional and add visibility.
Tell us about your business and we will be in touch to get you set up. No payment now, and registering does not commit you to anything.
Tell us about your business and we will add it to our curation queue. Curated is earned by an in-person visit and is never for sale, but every request helps us plan where to go next.
