What MaaS Tech Japan does
MaaS Tech Japan K.K. is a Tokyo-based Mobility-as-a-Service technology company founded in November 2018 as Japan's first dedicated MaaS business company. The firm develops and operates a portfolio of data integration and analytics platforms that help Japanese municipalities, prefectural governments, and transportation operators (bus, railway, taxi) solve regional mobility challenges through evidence-based policymaking. Its core customer segments are local and regional governments (municipalities, prefectures) and transportation operators, with secondary engagement of national research and policy bodies including MLIT and the Digital Agency. Named deployments span prefectures including Hiroshima (first wide-area mobility data platform in Japan), Fukuoka, Kanazawa, Shiojiri, Sumoto, Nagasaki, Gunma/Minakami, Kaga, and the Otemachi/Marunouchi/Yurakucho district of Tokyo.
The company's technology foundation is the TraISARE (Transport Information Store with Aggregator, Receiver and Encoder) mobility data integration platform, built on Microsoft Azure, which aggregates and normalizes data from 10,000+ domestic transport operators across rail, bus, taxi, and aviation modes. On top of TraISARE, MTJ has built SeeMaaS (a MaaS data analysis platform), Noluday (resident-participatory MaaS solution available as a LINE mini-app), L-MAP (a tool for local governments to draft regional public transport plans), SSM (Shared Service for Mobility, providing reservation/dispatch common functions), and MachiMobi Plus (a packaged mobility data product covering 1,700+ municipalities). The company earned Microsoft Japan Partner of the Year in Automotive, Mobility & Transportation in 2020, 2022, and 2023.
MaaS Tech Japan generates revenue through three streams: (1) Product Development (SaaS and subscription licensing for SeeMaaS, L-MAP, Noluday, MachiMobi Plus with SeeMaaS previously priced at 500,000 JPY/month on a 3-month minimum term), (2) Consulting (multi-faceted MaaS advisory services to municipalities and transport operators on policy, technical, and business model dimensions), and (3) Media (online seminars such as MTJ Open Knowledge Cafe, articles, and book publishing). Pricing is primarily quote-based and tailored to municipality size and project scope. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to government agencies and transport operators, often through multi-year pilots leading into MLIT grant programs and implementations. As of February 2026 the company had 13 employees and had raised approximately 3.2 billion JPY in disclosed funding across seed (2020), Series A (2021), and Series B (2024) rounds from investors including Globis Capital Partners, DBJ Capital, Tokio Marine & Nichido, Mitsubishi Corporation, SMBC Venture Capital, Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, Nishi-Nihon Railroad, and Val Laboratory.
