I built komichi because finding good spots in Japan is harder than it should be — even if you live here.
Google Maps is great when you already know what you want. But when you don't — when you just want to wander and stumble onto something new — it falls short.
komichi takes a different approach: browse by category near where you are, no keywords needed. Cafés, shrines, parks, local food — whatever fits your mood right now.
The name comes from the Japanese word 小道 (komichi) — a small, winding path. That feeling of turning off the main road and discovering something you never expected. That's what we want every outing to feel like.
We'd love to hear from anyone exploring Japan — first-time visitors and longtime locals alike.
