For people interested in traveling to Japan!!
There's a new Odigo website, which now gives you rewards for contributing! So if you add locations, articles, tips, etc, you get points that you can redeem for actual Amazon gift cards. This Friday at the Odigo event in Tokyo there will be a lot more details released (and there will be a livestream of the event, which we'll link to later), but the new website is already up! If you use a referral link from someone else to sign up, both of you get points from it. :D

You can also just go to the website by itself here:

The new website doesn't have the trip planning function set up yet since they're making some improvements to that, but that should come around early 2017.
If you didn't know what Odigo was, it's a completely free travel website for people going to Japan where you can plan (and soon book) your whole trip. With the new website they're also adding a section on taiken (experiences) so you can also find things to do where you're going, like ninja training, dressing as geisha, trying out a katana, etc! And they have a section on events now as well, so if you want to find out what festivals/markets/etc will be happening during your trip, they have a whole section on that. :D
This is the website that sent us to 21 prefectures, and is also the reason we were able to make so many awesome travel videos this year. We're super excited for their new website (this whole year the number one thing we've been telling them is let people add spots!!) so I hope you guys like it and I really think you'll find it useful!
