Reiwa Travel Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takanori Shinozuka) operates the smart, affordable travel app 'NEWT,' which celebrated its 4th anniversary on April 5, 2026.
NEWT began by offering Hawaii tours in 2022 and has since expanded its travel options to include overseas tours as well as domestic and international hotel bookings. Furthermore, by introducing support for English, Korean, and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and commencing service provision to international customers, it has evolved into a travel service that can be used regardless of residence or language.
NEWT will continue to strive to provide new travel experiences as a service that caters to 'all travel' for 'all people.'
◾️What Travel App 'NEWT' Aims to Achieve
NEWT has been committed to providing unprecedented travel experiences by combining technology with human capabilities. Travel is inherently an experience that expands people's possibilities across countries, languages, and cultures, and we believe that encounters with new places and values serve as catalysts for enriching life.
Based on this philosophy, and with an eye on service growth and the expansion of value proposition, Reiwa Travel changed its corporate mission on April 1, 2026, to 'New travel, for everyone.'(*1) We aim to continuously evolve the travel experience itself and deliver its value to more people, regardless of their residence, language, or cultural background.
As part of this initiative, NEWT has evolved into a travel service that can be used regardless of residence or language, by supporting overseas travel bookings and accommodation bookings for inbound travel from abroad, in addition to the overseas travel and accommodation booking services previously provided primarily to Japanese customers.
By reducing the effort required for travel planning and booking through technology, and by combining this with support from travel concierges and Bespoke(*2) services, NEWT provides travel experiences tailored to each individual's wishes.
