Pilot: The Historic Nakasendo Region

Validating the regional activation model

The Nakasendo region serves as TabiMate’s pilot environment.
Here, we structure fragmented local knowledge into ready-to-use regional exploration, delivered through selected accommodation partners.The region combines:• Cultural heritage (Magome, Tsumago)
• Nature-based routes (Kiso Valley trails)
• Local food culture (e.g., Gohei-mochi)This pilot demonstrates how structured regional exploration can influence booking confidence and enhance in-stay discovery.

Beyond the trail: Nakatsugawa

Nakatsugawa serves as the gateway to the wider Kiso Valley region.Beyond the historic post towns, the area offers a diverse mix of:• Mountain landscapes (Mt. Ena)
• Nature-based exploration (Tsukechi Gorge)
• Regional food cultureThis diversity makes Nakatsugawa an ideal environment to structure and activate regional exploration, connecting cultural heritage, nature and local identity into a coherent regional experience.
