🌏 What is Doko Discover?
Doko Discover is an English-language guide and booking platform designed for international visitors to Japan, specializing in introducing undiscovered, off-the-beaten-path experiences and locations across the country.
Unlike typical platforms that focus on well-known destinations like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka, Doko Discover showcases authentic local culture, hands-on workshops, hidden nature spots, and regional food experiences—all presented in clear, easy-to-understand English.
Rather than just sharing tourist information, the platform encourages immersive travel that brings visitors closer to the heart of each place.
Featured experiences are often small-group and locally operated, giving travelers a chance to interact with local experts and take home a cultural memory, not just a souvenir.
“Discover the real Japan—beyond the tourist map.”
That’s the spirit behind Doko Discover.
