About DokodemoJapan

Hi, I'm Ikumi — the creator of DokodemoJapan, based in Japan. I started DokodemoJapan to share the best of my country with travelers from around the world, and to make a first trip to Japan feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more joyful.

On this site you'll find practical, friendly travel guides written for first-time visitors — where to go, what to eat, and how to get around. We also create simple tools that solve real travel problems, like food allergy translation cards you can show at restaurants, and an all-in-one Japan travel planner.

Food should be one of the best parts of any trip — not a source of anxiety. That's why supporting travelers with food allergies and dietary needs is close to my heart, and a focus of everything we make.

Thank you for being here. I hope DokodemoJapan helps make your journey in Japan beautifully prepared.
