[42.68M Inbound Visitors / For Overseas Audiences] Friend-Making Matching Web App Connecting Foreign Visitors and Japanese 1-on-1
オンライン旅行・レジャー
Business description
[Service Overview: Friend-Making Matching for Foreign Visitors and Japanese]
This service is a friend-making matching web app where foreign visitors to Japan and
residents of Japan can meet 1-on-1.
Visitors post specific experiences they are looking for, such as "have lunch together,"
"chat while strolling around town," or "language exchange," and residents of Japan
apply to form a match. After matching, users coordinate the date, time, and place via
the in-app messaging feature and meet up locally.
----------------------------
[Differentiation from Other Services: A Healthy Interaction Design Starting from Experience Proposals]
Rather than the typical "connecting people" matching, the service operates on a structure
driven by "experience proposals" from the visitor side. Because the purpose of use is
clearly defined—"want to go to lunch," "want to do a language exchange," etc.—mismatches
in intent and last-minute cancellations after matching are structurally less likely to occur,
making it easier to deliver a healthy friend-making experience.
Usage scenarios are guided toward daytime, highly public settings such as breakfast,
lunch, cafes, and strolls, clearly distinguishing it from nighttime drinking socials and
romance or dating services.
----------------------------
[Typical Barriers to Launching a New Business Already Cleared]
The main barriers to launching a new business in the inbound space have already been
overcome in this deal.
①Product Built
The design, development, and implementation of the web application are complete. It is
live and ready to use immediately from a smartphone browser. Built on a cloud foundation,
the structure keeps infrastructure costs from ballooning excessively as it scales.
②Legal, Terms, and Payment Systems Built
The terms of service and privacy policy are in place. Payments go through an external
payment agent, so the design does not store credit card information in-house. The
procedural requirements for account succession are also organized.
③Market Validation Underway
After launch, the service is being used by real users. Multiple affiliates and active
customer-acquisition channels are also in place. The buyer can start from "taking over an
operating business" rather than "market validation from zero."
④Operations Manuals Prepared
Documents such as onboarding guides, help content, community guidelines, and reporting
and trouble-handling flows are prepared.
----------------------------
[Macro Environment: A Historic Expansion Phase for the Inbound Market]
The number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2025 reached a record-high 42.68 million,
breaking the 40 million mark for the first time. Inbound consumption reached ¥9.4559
trillion (up 16.4% year-on-year), growing to a scale second only to automobiles as an
export industry (source: JNTO and the Japan Tourism Agency). The government's target is
60 million visitors and ¥15 trillion in consumption by 2030. The market is still on its way
to further expansion.
An even more important change is the shift in the "quality" of consumption. Visitors'
interests are rapidly shifting from standardized sightseeing and buying goods toward
experiential consumption such as "interacting with locals" and "engaging with Japanese
people."
----------------------------
[Room for Future Expansion]
While this service is currently provided as a web application, its architecture is
technically capable of native app (iOS/Android) deployment by design. Depending on the
buyer's resources, there is room for growth through app deployment—improving the user
experience, boosting retention, and opening up new acquisition channels via the App Store
and Google Play.
There is likewise room to expand monetization through partnerships (referrals, tie-up
campaigns, etc.) with businesses in adjacent areas such as inbound tourism, regional
experiences, dining, lodging, and language learning.
----------------------------
[Revenue Model]
①Monthly subscription
②Short-term passes for visitors (day pass, trip pass)
③Per-use charges for top profile placement
This is a composite structure centered on the above. Detailed monthly figures, payment
conversion rates, and retention rates will be disclosed in a meeting after an NDA is signed.
----------------------------
[A Frank Disclosure of the Current Situation]
This business is in the phase immediately after service launch. While the cost structure
is light with limited fixed costs, the unit economics (CAC, LTV) remain at the validation
stage. Depending on how it combines with the buyer's acquisition assets and existing
customer base, there is significant room to accelerate monetization at this stage.
----------------------------
[What Is Being Transferred]
The complete source code, domain, service brand, registered user database, official SNS
accounts, operations manuals, and external service configuration information will be
transferred together.
One month of parallel-run support is standard, covering technical handover, SNS operation
know-how, and contract succession support.
----------------------------
[Reason for Transfer]
We are concentrating our management resources on another business, and we judged that
succession and continued growth under an appropriate buyer is best for this business, which
can operate as an independent unit.
