We’d like to share an important update regarding the operations of Nagomi Visit.
Starting September 1, 2025, Nagomi Visit will be operated by BORDERLESS HOUSE Corporation.
The Nagomi Visit team will continue working together under this new structure, and there will be no changes to our services, the booking process, or fees. If you already have a reservation, it will go forward just as planned.
The only change is that from September 1, BORDERLESS HOUSE Corporation will become the data controller. BORDERLESS HOUSE Corporation will manage your personal information in line with current laws and maintain the same high security standards we have always followed. If you have any questions about how your personal information will be handled, please feel free to contact the Nagomi Visit team directly.
A Message From Our Founder
Hello! I’m Megumi Kusunoki, Founder of Nagomi Visit.
Since launching Nagomi Visit in 2011, we’ve welcomed more than 10,000 travelers from around the world (as of August 2025). Each of them joined a Nagomi Visit to connect with locals over a home-cooked meal in a Japanese household, and through these experiences, many wonderful friendships have been formed. These meaningful experiences were made possible thanks to the warm support of our wonderful hosts and curious, open-minded guests.
From day one, we’ve asked ourselves:
How can people from different cultures and languages build real connections?
We gradually built a simple system where anyone could participate by opening their home and sharing a meal from the same pot.
Our mission has always remained the same. We aim to create meaningful moments for both guests and hosts, and to help reduce the prejudice and indifference that often come from misunderstanding. We believe that continuing these kinds of exchanges can bring about small but genuine change.
In recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been exploring new ways to grow this initiative in a world where divisions feel even more present.
To build a stronger foundation and open up more opportunities for travelers and locals to come together, we’ve made this important move. We’re excited about what lies ahead and hope you’ll look forward to this next chapter of Nagomi Visit with us.
