Driven by changes in lifestyles after the COVID-19 pandemic, the weaker yen, and other favorable factors, inbound demand continues to reach record highs. As a result, the number of overseas registered users on AutoReserve is also increasing. Looking at the breakdown by growth rate from January to December 2025, Taiwan showed strong growth at approximately 3.3x, followed by Hong Kong at approximately 1.8x, South Korea at approximately 3.3x, the United States at approximately 3.3x, and Singapore at approximately 1.8x, after Japan.
The Japanese government has set a target of increasing the number of international visitors to Japan to 60 million and inbound tourism spending to 15 trillion yen by 2030, four years from now. AutoReserve is also expected to see further growth in registered users.
Through its strengths in multilingual support, including Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, as well as its tourist destination search function, AutoReserve enables users to smoothly enjoy dining experiences at travel destinations and helps improve overall satisfaction with their trip.
