About ComeToJapan

ComeToJapan is a unique and practical app tailored for travelers and expatriates exploring Japan. It combines a crowdsourced map of public trash can locations—an essential feature given Japan's limited street waste disposal options—verified by real travelers across seven major cities. This makes waste management on the go much easier for visitors. Additionally, the app offers an engaging, gamified culture guide that presents real-life scenarios such as navigating trains, visiting onsen, practicing etiquette, or relocating to Japan. Users learn useful Japanese phrases with each scenario, in seven different languages, fostering cultural understanding and language skills. Completely free, with no subscriptions, ads, or in-app purchases, ComeToJapan appeals to budget-conscious travelers seeking a seamless, educational experience while exploring Japan’s rich culture.
