Greetings. What's the idea?

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Victoria, the solo developer behind ComeToJapan.

I got the idea after spending 20 minutes walking around Tokyo with a trash bag looking for somewhere to throw it away. Turns out convenience stores are the answer but nobody tells you which ones or where.

The culture guide came from my own experience trying to understand Japan beyond the tourist surface. I wanted something interactive, not another Wikipedia article.

Would love your honest feedback especially from anyone who's been to Japan or is planning to go!

ComeToJapan - Crowdsourced trash can map + culture guide for Japan

Japan has almost no public trash cans. ComeToJapan is a crowdsourced map of convenience-store trash spots verified by real travelers across 7 cities. It also has a gamified culture guide: real scenarios where you pick what to do (trains, onsen, etiquette, moving to Japan) and learn a Japanese phrase each time. 7 languages. 100% free — no subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.
