Business Idea: A tailored 9-week walking prep program designed for tourists visiting walking-intensive cities like Tokyo, helping them build stamina and enjoy their trips comfortably and confidently.
Problem: Tourists from car-dependent or less walk-friendly cities often face extreme fatigue and discomfort exploring cities like Tokyo, risking soreness, injuries, or missing out on experiences.
Solution: An engaging, city-specific training guide that offers step-by-step walking stamina plans, visualized routes (e.g., daily step goals matched to iconic landmarks), and practical tips on footwear, hydration, weather, and trip planning.
Target Audience: Travel enthusiasts visiting busy or walk-heavy cities, especially those from car-dependent regions, inexperienced walkers, or older travelers seeking to prevent fatigue and improve mobility.
Monetization: Revenue through subscription or one-time purchase of the guide, optional personalized coaching, and affiliate links for recommended gear or travel accessories.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): The only walking prep program specifically tailored for city explorers with visualized landmarks, practical tips, and a progressive plan—making city walking accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Launch Strategy: Launch a minimal viable product via a simple website or PDF download, promote on travel and Reddit communities, gather user feedback, and iterate to improve the plan and add features like personalized plans or community support.
