This collaboration is part of the “Inbound Tourism Issues Solutions Matching Event in Japan”, an event sponsored by the Japan Tourism Agency that aims to solve regional issues in tourism by matching local businesses and startups.
This was realized when both parties participated in “Asahikawa (*1)”. *1 Inbound tourism problem solving matching event in Asahikawa (Sponsor: Japan Tourism Agency)

The eastern Hokkaido area is particularly rich in nature and culture within Hokkaido, and is attracting attention not only for its tourism potential but also for its active efforts to provide high-quality activities and train guides.
An issue facing the eastern Hokkaido area is that, despite having attractive tourism resources, it is not currently connected to wide-area excursion-type tourism. Deeper
By developing high-value-added, land-based experiential content over a wide area, which is Japan’s specialty, it is expected that tourists who were previously passing through will extend their stay and increase the unit consumption amount of travel.

About Deeper Japan
Deeper
Japan is a service that allows visitors to Japan to easily make online reservations for traditional Japanese cultural experiences that are normally difficult to access. By carefully selecting high-quality cultural and natural experiences and directly partnering with craftsmen and artists active on the front lines, we transcend differences in language, culture, and values, and foster mutual understanding and tradition between different cultures through travel. We aim to preserve diversity and create a society filled with empathy and tolerance. As a general rule, we limit the target audience to a small number of guests, and provide time for deeper interaction between the craftsman and the guest, rather than a fancy experience for a large number of guests.
In addition, by having our own specially hired and trained interpreter guides accompany us, we provide interpretation in guests’ native language whenever possible.
About future prospects
The travel industry to Japan, which was affected by the new
coronavirus infection, is gradually showing signs of recovery. Deeper Japan is also expanding its team, updating its internal systems and strengthening recruitment in order to meet increasing demand. We have introduced remote work for our customer support team and are hiring overseas. In order to respond to the increasing demand, we plan to promote adoption both in Japan and overseas.
Deeper
Japan includes the NPO Marugoto Rikuzentakata, which mainly operates the private lodging business in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, which was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Traditional Crafts Industry Promotion Association, the Omiya Bonsai Village Cooperative, local governments and tourism associations. In collaboration with other organizations, we actively support regional revitalization and the preservation of traditional Japanese crafts. Deeper
Approximately 80% of Japan’s guests are individual travelers from Europe, America, and Australia.
For travelers around the world who seek a journey that satisfies their intellectual curiosity.
Looking to the future, we plan to further expand this service in existing areas, and expand this service domestically to Tohoku areas such as Akita and Yamagata, as well as overseas to countries in Europe and East Asia. Deeper
We are accelerating our business to pursue the Japan concept of how to make a trip more fulfilling by transcending differences in language, culture, and values outside of Japan, and to provide it to travelers.
