Finding a trash can in Japan feels impossible — until now.

Come to Japan is the only app with a crowdsourced map of convenience store trash spots, plus a gamified cultural guide to help you navigate Japanese life with confidence.

TRASH SPOT MAP Japan has almost no public trash cans. Convenience stores (combini) are your best bet — but which ones accept trash, and where exactly? Our community map shows hundreds of verified spots across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Hiroshima. Add your own and help other travelers.

JAPAN GUIDES Learn through real-life scenarios — not boring lists: • First Visit: trains, cash, vending machines, etiquette • Off the Beaten Path: beyond tourist areas • Considering Japan: thinking about moving there? • Moving In: the practical relocation guide • Work & Life: navigating Japanese workplace culture

Each scenario puts you in a real situation, you choose what to do, learn why it matters — and pick up a Japanese phrase.
