“Join us in preserving the timeless beauty and local harmony of the Kiyomizu district.”
SIGHTS KYOTO, located in the heart of Higashiyama, was the very first to embrace and help shape the "TIPSFOR Donation Box" vision. While Higashiyama enchants visitors from around the globe, it also faces the delicate challenges of overtourism and the preservation of its residents' quiet daily lives. We believe that travel should not be an act of consumption that wears a region down, but a regenerative force that nurtures the future alongside the community. In this historic district where the essence of Kyoto lives on, we are dedicated to transforming the goodwill of travelers into a lasting legacy for the region’s future.by UPCYCLE LIFE HIGASHIYAMA

(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.
