What Adventure does
Adventure Inc. (株式会社アドベンチャャー, TSE Growth: 6030) is a Japanese online travel agency founded in December 2006 by Shunichi Nakamura while a student at Keio University, originally as CyberTravel Co., Ltd. The company operates skyticket, a comprehensive OTA platform offering domestic and international flights, hotels, car rentals, highway buses, ferries, tours, eSIM, travel insurance, dining, and study abroad services across 15+ travel product categories. skyticket supports 42 languages and is available in 175 countries, and the company has cumulatively reached 22 million+ app downloads (iOS/Android) as of October 2024 with approximately 800 billion JPY in GMV.
The platform is built on an API-first architecture with NDC integrations to major carriers (Hawaiian, American, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, United, ZIPAIR, plus ~15 LCCs including Peach, Jetstar, Spring Japan), hotel inventory from Booking.com (820,000+ properties) and multiple Japanese PMS/channel managers, 32+ rental car operators, and JR-affiliated bus networks. skyticket also distributes inventory outbound to Skyscanner, TripAdvisor, Yahoo! Travel, NAVITIME, and NTT DoCoMo's d-トラベル. Beyond skyticket, Adventure operates WannaTrip (activity booking), the skyticket Premium subscription (540 JPY/month via Benefit One), and the new ADVENTURE global platform launched July 2025 targeting Southeast and South Asian markets.
Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based commissions on flight, hotel, car, bus, ferry, and activity bookings, supplemented by advertising and the skyticket Premium subscription. The Adventure Group spans 7 countries (Japan, Korea, Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Singapore, USA) with 19 affiliated companies, and operates a 51/49 joint venture with EPARK (Suguyaku) for non-travel reservation services.
