Who we are
The Japan Index was created to explore, document, and share the most interesting experiences Japan has to offer — from hidden cafés and neighborhood bars to iconic landmarks, unique shops, and unforgettable dining. Through short-form video, photography, and written guides, we aim to build a growing library of discoveries that help travelers and locals alike navigate Japan with curiosity and confidence.
Our approach combines modern social media storytelling with long-form written guides, creating a platform where every place we visit becomes a lasting resource. Each location we feature — whether it’s a small café tucked down a Shinjuku alley or a world-renowned restaurant in Tokyo — is documented through video content and supporting articles designed to inspire people planning their own experiences in Japan.
As The Japan Index grows, our goal is to become a trusted reference point for discovering Japan’s culture, food, neighborhoods, and lifestyle. We are building a continuously expanding archive of places worth visiting, while collaborating with businesses that want to reach both international travelers and curious locals. For brands and venues, this means long-term visibility across social platforms and our website as our audience continues to grow.
At its core, The Japan Index is about discovery — uncovering the places that make Japan fascinating and sharing them with the world, one story at a time.
Work With Us
The Japan Index is a growing media platform dedicated to showcasing the most interesting places, experiences, and stories across Japan. Through short-form video, photography, and written guides, we highlight cafés, restaurants, hotels, neighborhoods, and unique local businesses that make Japan such a fascinating destination.
Our content is designed to help travelers discover where to go, what to do, and what experiences are worth seeking out — while also giving featured venues meaningful exposure to an international audience. Each location we visit becomes part of our expanding library of travel content, appearing across our social channels as well as in long-form articles on our website.
We are always interested in working with businesses that want to reach curious travelers and an engaged global audience. Partnerships can include venue features, product placements, location highlights, and destination guides that showcase your brand through authentic storytelling and high-quality visuals.
While The Japan Index is still in its early stages, our goal is to build a long-term archive of Japan’s most interesting places — and the businesses we collaborate with today will continue to benefit from ongoing exposure as our audience grows.
