Exciting Collaboration: Hanamiya Rika Domestic Bus Tour

The world of virtual YouTubers known as VTubers continues to influence various sectors, and travel planning is no exception. HIS, a prominent travel company based in Tokyo, is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a domestic bus tour in collaboration with popular VTuber Hanamiya Rika. Set to go on sale starting from July 2, 2025, at 18:00, this tour promises to be a unique and exhilarating experience for fans!

Background of V Trip Project

HIS introduced the innovative 'V Trip' project last year, which uniquely combines travel and VTubers into a compelling new experience for travelers. This initiative emphasizes enriching content that showcases the uniqueness of VTubers while also leveraging HIS's wide array of travel services. This combination aims to deliver memorable journeys and events that resonate with fans of the VTuber phenomenon.

The VTuber engagement market, anticipated to reach an impressive 3.5 trillion yen between 2024 and 2025, highlights the growing popularity of this sphere. With approximately 14 million fans in Japan alone, equivalent to about 17% of the total population, the potential for expansion is evident.
