IGLOOO Launches VOYAPON+: An Innovative Travel Platform

On September 16, 2023, IGLOOO Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, officially released the new feature "VOYAPON+" for its inbound media platform, VOYAPON, targeted at audiences in Europe, North America, and Australia. Following a successful pre-launch on August 19, 2025, VOYAPON has undergone an extensive redesign to elevate the user experience and cater to travelers’ needs more effectively. The culmination of user feedback and technological advancement has transformed VOYAPON into a comprehensive platform, going beyond mere information provision to empower travelers in planning and managing their personal travel records.

What is VOYAPON?

Established in 2016, VOYAPON has grown into a vital resource for information on Japan, available in five languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Entering its tenth year, the platform leverages a unique network of native staff residing in Japan and from abroad who are engaged in everything from content creation to editing. This structure allows for a rich, native perspective on travel content, making VOYAPON a reliable source for international audiences.

With contributions from over fifty Western writers exploring various regions in Japan, VOYAPON aims to engage educated travelers—those who appreciate learning and seek authentic cultural experiences rather than typical tourist attractions. The platform caters to the growing trend of slow travel, encouraging deeper connections with local cultures.
