Beyond Inc. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mayuko Michikoshi), which has a track record of supporting inbound marketing for over 500 companies and operates the high-value-added experience reservation platform "Origami Concierge" for middle-class and wealthy visitors to Japan, announces that it acquired a Type 2 Travel Agency License on March 10, 2026.
With this, in addition to providing conventional experience plans, it has become possible to create and sell custom-made package tours that combine accommodations and means of transportation (such as chartered vehicles).
■ Background of Acquiring the Travel Agency License: Special Experiences in Regions with "End-to-End" Services Demanded by the World
Since the launch of "Origami Concierge" in February 2025, we have received a great deal of response from individual customers of the middle-wealthy class and above worldwide, as well as from overseas travel agents and MICE-related companies. The most common request among them was, "We want you to arrange accommodations and dedicated vehicles that are appropriate for the special experience all at once."
By taking a step forward from providing "experiences only" and seamlessly connecting everything from airport transfers to special inns and "experiences that can only be had here," we aim to maximize the value hidden in Japan's regional areas and provide stress-free and moving journeys to overseas guests, which led to our acquisition of this license.
In addition, we can now sell experience plans that include accommodations, which had been requested by local accommodation operators and guides, on our platform.
■ Future Developments: Creation of "High Value-Added Tours" that Enrich Regional Economies
With the acquisition of the Type 2 Travel Agency License, Beyond will accelerate the following developments in the future.
1. Sales of special packages including accommodation and transportation in regions
We will develop packages centered on contents that utilize the characteristics and resources of regions unique to Origami Concierge, not only in famous tourist destinations like Tokyo and Kyoto, but also such as fishing & gastronomy tours in the Goto Islands, and private tours where guests stay at traditional craft workshops or sake breweries in local areas.
2. Strengthening of support for overseas agents and BtoB
We will accept one-stop orders for accommodation, transportation, and experiences for travel agencies (agents) targeting the wealthy overseas and corporate incentive travel. By attracting larger-scale and higher-value-added projects, we aim to contribute to regional economies.
3. Deepening cooperation with local governments and DMOs
Utilizing frameworks such as the Japan Tourism Agency's "High Value-Added Business," it becomes possible to execute everything from content creation to actual tour sales entirely in-house. We will build sustainable tourism models for regions.
■ Comment from Representative Director Mayuko Michikoshi
Until now, we have communicated the charm of local areas through the power of overseas marketing for more than 500 companies, but from now on, we will be able to design and provide the 'journey itself' in-house. Creating an environment where overseas guests can touch the essence of Japan's local areas without feeling language barriers or anxiety about transportation. That is our mission. Utilizing the perspectives of our community of over 500 foreign influencers and experts living in Japan, 'Expat Contributors in Japan' (commonly known as ECJ), we will discover and polish Japan's regional resources from the perspectives of natives and experts, and...
