About Us

LocalWays is a lifestyle media platform that helps you discover restaurants and dining experiences across Japan.

About LocalWays

LocalWays is a local discovery media platform that enables residents in Japan, expats, and tourists to find dining establishments using natural language in their own words.

For visitors from abroad, finding genuinely great restaurants in Japan is challenging. Real information about local gems often doesn't reach them, leading many to rely on social media influencers. LocalWays was created to solve this problem.

Our platform supports multilingual search including English, Arabic, and many other languages. Unlike traditional search engines, LocalWays understands complex, specific requests. For example:

  • "Romantic Italian restaurant in Shibuya, under 5000 yen per person"
  • "Cozy restaurant for birthday party, around 20 people, course menu under 6000 yen with all-you-can-drink"
  • "渋谷で誕生日会、20人くらい、コース6000円以下、飲み放題付き"

Our mission is to make it easy for residents and inbound tourists to enjoy everything Japan's wonderful food culture has to offer. Behind the scenes, we leverage cutting-edge AI technology to accurately understand your preferences and recommend the best options.
