Our Story

NusaMichi Studio was born from a simple belief:

stories can travel across cultures when they are told with clarity, warmth, and respect.

The name reflects this bridge.

“Nusa” represents the islands of Indonesia — a place of warmth, connection, and vibrant curiosity.

“Michi” (道) represents the Japanese path — a journey shaped by intention, care, and the spirit of omotenashi.

Together, NusaMichi means “the path that connects island cultures.”

It captures who we are and what we do: guiding Japanese hospitality businesses toward Indonesian travelers through meaningful, multilingual storytelling.

What We Believe

Hospitality is a story.

Every ryokan, café, guesthouse, and local business has a unique spirit — a feeling guests remember long after they leave. We help you express that feeling in a way Indonesian travelers can understand and trust.

Clarity builds confidence.

Travelers make decisions based on information. When your website, social media, and OTA listings are clear and friendly, guests feel safe, welcomed, and excited to visit.

Culture deserves respect.

We honor the values of both Japan and Indonesia.

Your message is crafted with cultural nuance, warmth, and accuracy — never generic, never machine‑like.

Stories should travel freely.

Language shouldn’t be a barrier.

We help your story move across borders with ease.

What We Do

NusaMichi Studio creates multilingual content that helps Japanese hospitality businesses reach Indonesian travelers:

  • Website Copy (EN/ID)

  • SEO Travel Articles

  • Social Media Content

  • OTA Listing Optimization

  • Cultural Storytelling

  • AI‑Powered Content Systems

Everything we create is designed to feel human, warm, and culturally aligned — so your hospitality can be felt long before guests arrive.

Our Mission

To help Japan’s small travel businesses connect with Indonesian travelers through multilingual, culturally sensitive storytelling that builds trust, clarity, and meaningful connection.

We exist to make global communication accessible — even for the smallest ryokan, café, or local guide.

Our Vision

A world where stories travel freely across cultures, where Japanese hospitality is understood and appreciated by Indonesian travelers, and where small businesses can shine on a global stage without barriers.

We envision a future where cultural understanding becomes a natural part of travel — not an obstacle.

Our Values

Cultural Respect

We honor the traditions, etiquette, and hospitality of Japan while embracing the warmth, curiosity, and values of Indonesian travelers.

Clarity & Honesty

We communicate simply, transparently, and with traveler‑first clarity. Good information builds trust.

Storytelling with Heart

Every business has a story worth sharing. We tell those stories with warmth, nuance, and authenticity.

Accessibility for Small Businesses

Global marketing shouldn’t be limited to big budgets. We design our services to be affordable, practical, and sustainable for small operators.

Connection Over Transaction

We focus on relationships — between cultures, between businesses and travelers, and between people.

Thoughtful Use of Technology

We blend human creativity with AI‑powered efficiency to deliver high‑quality content quickly, without losing the human touch.

Continuous Learning

Cultures evolve, travel trends shift, and technology changes. We stay curious, adaptive, and committed to growth.

Founder’s Note

When I first began traveling through Japan, I was struck by something simple yet powerful:

every small place had a story worth sharing.

A family‑run ryokan with generations of care behind it.

A café owner who roasts beans with quiet pride.

A local guide who knows the hidden corners of a town better than any map.

These experiences stayed with me — not just because they were beautiful, but because they were heartfelt.

At the same time, I noticed how many Indonesian travelers wanted to explore Japan more deeply, yet struggled to find clear, friendly, culturally familiar information.

The warmth was there.

The hospitality was there.

But the connection was missing.

NusaMichi Studio was born from that gap — and from a desire to bridge it.

I believe that stories can travel across cultures when they’re told with respect, clarity, and heart.

I believe small businesses deserve to be seen by the world, not limited by language or resources.

And I believe Indonesian travelers deserve to feel welcomed long before they arrive.

Through NusaMichi Studio, I hope to help Japan’s small travel businesses share their stories in a way that feels natural, warm, and culturally aligned — so more travelers can experience the beauty I’ve been lucky enough to discover.

Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.

I’m excited to help your story travel further.

日本を旅する中で、私は一つのことに深く心を動かされました。

どんなに小さな場所にも、語るべき物語があるということです。

代々続く家族経営の旅館。

丁寧に豆を焙煎するこだわりのカフェ。

地元を知り尽くしたガイドが案内する、地図には載らない小さな発見。

そうした体験は、美しいだけでなく、温かく、心に残るものでした。

一方で、多くのインドネシア人旅行者が「もっと深く日本を知りたい」と願いながらも、

自分たちにとって分かりやすい情報に出会えず、戸惑っている姿も見てきました。

おもてなしの心は確かに存在するのに、

その温かさが十分に伝わっていない。

その“つながりの欠け”こそが、NusaMichi Studio を立ち上げた理由です。

私は、物語は文化を越えて旅をすると信じています。

敬意を持って語られた物語は、人の心を動かし、距離を縮めます。

そして、小さな事業者であっても、世界に向けて輝く力を持っています。

KizunaNusa Studio は、日本の小さな観光事業者が、

インドネシアの旅行者に向けて温かく、分かりやすく、文化に寄り添った情報を発信できるよう支援するために生まれました。

日本の魅力を尊重しながら、

インドネシアの旅行者が安心して旅を楽しめるように。

その橋渡し役になれることを、心から嬉しく思います。

あなたの物語が、もっと遠くまで届きますように。

その旅路を、ぜひ一緒に歩ませてください。
