About TOMATO NIPPON
In the realm of travel, some ventures sprout from pure necessity, while others are born out of a deep-seated passion. For Samantha and Kozue, the inception of their company was undeniably grounded in a profound love for exploration, adventure, and the life-changing potential of travel.
It all kicked off in 2016 during a picturesque tour in Japan, where Samantha played the role of the lively tour guide, and Kozue was the fastidious product manager responsible for tour inspections. Fate had a hand in their initial encounter, but their mutual enthusiasm for the wonders of the world forged an enduring friendship.
Turning the Dream into Reality
From the moment their paths crossed, Samantha and Kozue couldn't stop yakkin' with each other, and the laughter was relentless, reflecting their insatiable thirst for uncovering new horizons. It was clear as day that they shared not just a deep friendship, but also a dream — a dream to bring the best of Japan to the world.
In 2020, Samantha and Kozue took a leap of faith and decided to turn their shared vision into a reality. They founded a company that would encapsulate their passion for travel, their dedication to making it accessible to all, and their commitment to enriching lives through unforgettable experiences. The transition from mates to business partners was seamless because their hearts beat in sync when it came to their mission.
The Mission to Make Travel Accessible and Enriching
Tomato Nippon became a testament to their belief that travel isn't just a laid-back getaway; it's a chance for education, enrichment, inspiration, and the creation of lasting memories. Their goal was straightforward — to simplify the travel process, to make it as approachable as a meandering outback road, and to ensure their customers returned home with a trove of unforgettable experiences.
Samantha and Kozue, driven by unwavering dedication and their steadfast commitment to making the world accessible to all, turned their shared dream into a thriving reality. With their passion and friendship as their compass, they embarked on a journey that wouldn't just transform their lives but also kindle the wanderlust in countless others.
