Greetings. What's the idea?
by•
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!

A few people asked what's next, so here's where ComeToJapan is heading 👇
Coming next — straight from your requests:
Traveling with kids — where to change a diaper, take a break, and keep little ones entertained
More essential Japanese phrases built right into the lessons
Bike parking spots added to the map
A festivals & events calendar so you don't miss what's happening while you're here
The bigger picture:
Expanding beyond Japan to other countries
Plan your route and get the spots + events along the way — tailored to where you're actually going
It's all shaped by feedback, so if one of these matters most to you (or there's something missing), tell me. I'm building this in the open and I read every comment 🙏
