J-CAT operates "Otonami," a high-end experience reservation platform for the domestic market, and "Wabunka," an experience reservation platform for foreign tourists visiting Japan. J-CAT has built up a solid track record by providing high-quality products, such as extraordinary experiences that showcase traditional Japanese culture, craftsmanship, and special places such as temples.

The company's mission is "Bringing the charm of Japan to the world through technology and creativity," and it is run with the desire to use technology to support artists, craftsmen, tourism and cultural businesses, while at the same time spreading the appeal of Japan to the world. We believe that this will contribute to revitalizing local industries and promoting local culture, addressing the structural issues facing regional areas, such as population decline and labor shortages.
