Custom-Made Journeys Pioneer OnlyOne Travel Raises 100 Million Yen to Expand “Life-Changing” Travel Experiences
Imagine embarking on a journey that is not just a vacation, but a life-changing experience. Only One Corp., a Tokyo-based travel agency, is pioneering the concept of curated adventurous tours that promise to do just that. With a recent successful fundraising of 100 million yen from over 20 individual investors, the company is set to revolutionize the travel industry by bringing unique and personalized travel experiences to a wider audience.
Founded in 2012 in Panama by CEO Yosuke Yamada, Only One Corp. specializes in planning and attending custom-made journeys that cater to the individual needs and preferences of each traveler. The company’s vision is to create once-in-a-lifetime journeys that combine the beauty of our planet with the uniqueness of each person’s life. By offering bespoke travel experiences tailored to clients’ family structures, life stages, and financial situations, Only One Corp. aims to provide truly unforgettable adventures.
In an industry where tour planning, sales, and on-site service operations are often handled by different entities, resulting in increased costs for customers, Only One Corp. sets itself apart by managing all aspects of the travel experience in-house. This not only reduces customer costs but also enhances the overall value delivered to travelers. With CEO Yosuke’s extensive experience of traveling the world for over two decades, the company is built on the belief that travel has the power to transform lives.
The recently raised funds will be instrumental in furthering the company’s mission of providing “life-changing” travel experiences to a broader audience. Here’s how Only One Corp. plans to utilize the funds for business expansion and maximizing experiential value:
Launching Curated Adventurous Tours
Building on their expertise in custom-made tours, Only One Corp. will introduce small-group curated tours that offer exclusive access to remote locations and extraordinary experiences that would be difficult to reach independently. The goal is to launch at least three small-group tours per country across 30 countries by the end of 2025, totaling 100 tours. Commencing Hotel Management Business
In addition to tour services, the company is venturing into the hotel management business, starting with safari lodges in Kenya, estates with vast landscapes, and beach resorts. This new initiative not only establishes a new revenue stream but also ensures that the signature “experiential luxury” offered by Only One Corp. extends to accommodations as well.

Furthermore, Only One Corp. plans to expand into new global markets by establishing offices in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and India to attract more travelers from these regions. By diversifying their offerings and reaching out to a wider audience, the company aims to make “life-changing” travel experiences accessible to more people around the world.
As Only One Corp. continues to push boundaries and redefine the travel industry, one thing is certain – the future of travel is looking more exciting and transformative than ever before. With a commitment to delivering personalized, unique, and unforgettable journeys, the company is poised to change the way we think about travel and the impact it can have on our lives.
