Twenty-two years in Japanese inbound. Founded NNomadic after running ground ops for a national wholesaler.
A DMC built by operators, not intermediaries.
Own offices in Japan and southern Europe, our own fleets and direct hotel agreements — and a phone that is answered in under a minute.
A DMC built by operators, not intermediaries.
NNomadic began in 2013 as a two-person Tokyo ground operator. Thirteen years on we run own offices in Japan and southern Europe, contract our own fleets and hold direct hotel agreements — and still answer the phone in under a minute.
We took the long way deliberately. Owning dispatch, guiding and vehicle supply in our home regions means a delayed flight, a closed road or a sold-out ryokan is our problem to solve, not a message we forward. Where we do not operate directly — the Americas, the Gulf, southern Asia — we contract accredited partner DMCs and hold them to the same published SLA.
How we got here
Two staff, one minivan, inbound FIT transfers for European agencies.
Osaka base added; first direct ryokan contracts signed in Kyoto.
First 500-delegate congress delivered end to end in Tokyo and Hakone.
European operation launched; Iberia, France and Italy brought in-house.
Japan-plus-Europe itineraries sold as one file, one invoice.
Transfer network reaches 34 countries through owned and partner operations.
Leadership
Built the Iberian operation from zero to 86 cities. Previously coach fleet operations in Porto.
Runs dispatch across both regions. Ex-airline ground handling, obsessive about wait-time data.
Delivered over 300 corporate programmes. Specialises in factory-visit and incentive design.
Monograms stand in until real headshots are supplied — drop files into images/ and swap the .mono block for an <img>.
Lower-impact ground transport, measured per movement.
Ground transport is the part of a trip a DMC actually controls. We publish emissions per transfer, run electric where charging supports it, and put rail ahead of road wherever the timing works.
Our targets are operational, not aspirational: fleet composition, mode share and supplier standards. Progress is reported to contracted partners each quarter alongside the SLA report.
Committed targets
50% of owned and contracted vehicles battery-electric in Europe and Japan.
Every sector under 500 km quoted as rail first, road only on request.
Scope 1 and 2 across all four offices and owned fleet.
Work where the operation actually happens.
Small teams, real responsibility and no layer between you and the guest experience. Most of our managers started on dispatch or guiding.
We hire for judgement under pressure. Language skills matter, but the trait we screen hardest for is the instinct to solve a problem before it reaches the client.
