Yukitabi (雪旅) — your pocket guide to Japan.
Planning your first trip to Japan? Yukitabi is the calm, offline-first companion that helps you arrive, eat, speak, and behave with confidence — not as a tourist guessing your way through.
IPHONE DUO SUPPORT
Browse guides and related phrases side by side on the open inner display. Adaptive layouts keep your Japan essentials close as you open or fold your iPhone Duo.
AIRPORT ARRIVAL
Step-by-step guides for Narita and Haneda. From immigration to your first train, we walk you through customs, SIM activation, IC cards, luggage forwarding, and getting into the city. No more standing confused in the arrivals hall.
FOOD GUIDE
30+ Japanese dishes explained — what they are, how to eat them, what to expect, and how to order. Ramen, sushi, regional specialties — each with allergen notes and ordering phrases in Japanese, romaji, and English.
PHRASEBOOK
Essential phrases for restaurants, transport, shopping, hotels, and emergencies. Every phrase includes the Japanese text, hiragana reading, romaji, and the situation it fits. A "show card" mode lets you hand your phone to a local when you can't pronounce it. No Japanese study required.
CHERRY BLOSSOM GUIDE
16 handpicked sakura viewing spots from iconic Ueno Park to quiet gems in Kanazawa and Yoshino. Bloom timing, crowd levels, access notes, and local tips for the perfect hanami.
CULTURAL TIPS
The unwritten rules: bowing, chopstick etiquette, train manners, shoes-off customs, onsen protocol. Written by someone who grew up in Japan, not someone who visited once.
CHECKLISTS
Pre-trip packing, airport arrival, daily essentials, departure — interactive checklists that save your progress. Never forget Japan Rail Pass activation or pocket Wi-Fi return.
28 IN-DEPTH GUIDES
From shinkansen to konbini, temple visits to budget planning. Practical, honest, and detailed. Topics include IC cards, JR Pass, money, connectivity, accommodation, photography etiquette, and luggage forwarding.
WHY YUKITABI
Most Japan travel apps are either too shallow (top-10 lists) or too complex (full itinerary planners). Yukitabi sits in the sweet spot: deep enough to be genuinely useful, simple enough to use while standing in Shinjuku Station wondering which exit to take.
Built in Oxford by a Japanese developer who misses home and wants you to experience the Japan she knows — not just the one in the brochures.
