PROJECT (Spotlight Projects)

  • Strengthening disaster prevention measures in historic districts and promoting “machineko activities”

    While running a real estate business, Mr. Koide began working with local cats in 2018. From there, he engaged in dialogue with local residents, and now plays a role in supporting the foundations of the local community, such as serving as a member of the neighborhood association and disaster prevention committee.

(Message from the Founder)

We collaborate with tourism professionals to create sustainable, long-term local impact.

TIPS FOR was launched by Yoine Inc. (meaning “Good Roots”) to bridge the gap between travelers and local changemakers. Our mission isn’t just to collect donations, but to build a lasting ecosystem that empowers those striving to make a difference. By curating projects through our unique lens, we offer a new form of Regenerative Tourism originating from Kyoto—one that is easy for businesses to join and loved by travelers.

Join our community: We are looking for partners to host our donation boxes.
And to our travelers: if you spot a TIPS FOR box, a simple “thank you” to the staff would mean the world to us.

Nobuhiro Maeda CEO, Yoine Inc.
