Nippon Travel Corporate Solutions

What Nippon Travel Corporate Solutions does

Nippon Travel Corporate Solutions (株式会社日本旅行コーポレートソリューションズ) is a Japan-based corporate travel management company that has operated in the business travel segment since 1980 and was reconstituted in its current form on April 1, 2025 through the integration of M-Heart Tourist Co., Ltd. with Nippon Travel's Business Travel Division. The firm is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nippon Travel Co., Ltd. and positions itself as a representative Japanese corporate travel company, headquartered in Moriguchi City, Osaka with an East Japan area office in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

The company's core product is Shutcho Nabi (出張なび), a cloud-based business travel booking and management platform providing 24/7 online reservation for JR tickets, domestic and international flights, hotels, and rental cars, with consolidated corporate billing, pre-trip approval workflows, expense reporting, and crisis management via the integrated NT-Alert module. The platform supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on (compatible with HP IceWall and Microsoft Azure AD), integrates natively with SAP Concur for expense automation, offers CSV-based data export for analysis, and (as of February 2026) supports multilingual display in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese via Wovn.io. Complementary product lines include Business Travel Management (BTM) consulting, an inbound travel service for overseas companies visiting Japan, meetings/training/event BPO services, a co-branded group travel booking service with American Express Business Card, and Shutcho Nabi Nova — a packaged public-sector module launching April 2026 that is compliant with the revised 2025 National Civil Servant Travel Expense Act.

Nippon Travel Corporate Solutions generates revenue through a combination of transaction-based fees from travel supplier commissions, recurring subscription/usage charges for the Shutcho Nabi cloud platform, and professional services for BTM consulting and event management. Since launching Shutcho Nabi in 2002, the company has contracted approximately 1,000 corporate clients representing roughly 2,000 entities (including subsidiaries), serving enterprise companies in general industry, government/public institutions, foreign companies sending employees to Japan, and organizations requiring conference and event support. The company employs approximately 140 staff and carries a registered capital of 100 million yen, operating under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (JIS Q 27001:2023) and Privacy Mark certifications.

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Egencia (Expedia Group): Corporate travel brand of Expedia Group, providing an online booking tool and travel management for mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable SaaS-style OBT competitor with a global inventory.
• BCD Travel: Global TMC with established operations in Japan. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering corporate booking tools, traveler care, and reporting to multinational and large Japanese enterprises.
• CWT (formerly Carlson Wagonlit Travel): Global corporate travel management company with historical JTB-CWT partnership in Japan. Competes for large multinational and Japanese enterprise travel programs with a similar OBT-plus-consulting offering.
• SAP Concur: Global leader in travel, expense, and invoice management. Both a partner (data integration) and indirect competitor to NTA Corporate Solutions, as Concur's Concur Travel OBT competes for Japanese enterprise bookings that might otherwise go through Shutcho Nabi.
• American Express Global Business Travel: Largest global corporate travel management company. Competes head-to-head with NTA Corporate Solutions in Japan for enterprise BTM contracts, with greater global scale, technology investment, and supplier negotiating leverage.

Regional players

• H.I.S. (H.I.S. Co., Ltd.): Large Japanese travel agency expanding into corporate and MICE services. While primarily leisure-focused, H.I.S.'s corporate division is an adjacent peer in the Japanese business travel and meetings/events space.

Direct peers

• Kintetsu World Express / Kintetsu International: Major Japanese travel and logistics group with a corporate travel management business. Comparable as a domestic BTM competitor combining online booking tools with traditional travel agency services for Japanese enterprises.
• JTB Business Travel (JTB-CWT): JTB's corporate travel arm (JTB Business Travel) and a long-standing joint venture with CWT, serving large Japanese enterprises with travel management, online booking, and expense services. Most direct domestic competitor to NTA Corporate Solutions in the Japanese BTM market.

Emerging players

• JAL (Japan Airlines) Corporate Travel Programs: JAL offers corporate travel programs and JAL Corporate Booking Tool integrations that compete for Japanese enterprise air bookings, overlapping with the flight-booking component of Shutcho Nabi.
• Navan (formerly TripActions): Modern corporate travel and expense platform combining OBT, expense, and corporate cards. An emerging global competitor whose model of integrated booking-plus-expense directly parallels NTA Corporate Solutions' platform thesis and could enter Japan.
