Otetsutabi Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Rina Nagaoka; hereinafter "Otetsutabi"), which operates "Otetsutabi," a matching service that combines "helping out" with "travel," has seen its registered users steadily increase year by year, driven by rising prices and changing values regarding travel. As of June 2026, the number of registered users has surpassed 100,000, up from 5,000 in 2021.
