Based in Kotohira Town, Kagawa Prefecture, we have been operating bus, taxi, and travel agency businesses for 70 years. Deeply rooted in the community, we support local tourism and transportation. The online bus tours we launched during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 drew significant attention, winning the Japan Service Award (Minister of Regional Revitalization Award), the Kagawa 21st Century Grand Prize, and the 'Excellence Award' in the tourism category at the 1st National Sharing City Awards. Aiming to become a mecca for digital nomads, we started an accommodation business in Takamatsu in '23 and in Kotohira in '24. https://www.kotobus.com/
