About

Tokotoko means 'walking along, step by step' in Japanese. We chose this name because we wanted to walk alongside you on your first steps through Japan — even down unfamiliar alleys, at your own pace.

Pick the YouTubers whose taste matches yours, and their recommended spots appear on the map. No need to scrub through video after video — just find the places that are right for you.

Find a place you like? You can jump straight to the YouTube video that featured it, and see how many other travelers have saved it too. Maybe you'll stumble on a hidden gem no one told you about — or feel reassured that yes, this place really is that good.

We built this hoping that even a trip without a rigid itinerary can be a joy. Open the map as you walk, and let your feet take you wherever feels right.
