Guide to traveling in Japan without walking: Experience alternative urban style with LUUP electric scooters

Traveling to Japan is a big test for your legs, especially when you want to visit every must-visit attraction and you have to hold on until the soles of your feet are blistered. However, with the LUUP electric scooter, it is much easier! Imagine riding a scooter and traveling through the bustling streets of major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama. You no longer have to stop and rest when you get tired, and you have to worry about missing the store you want to go to.

Riding LUUP on the streets of Japan not only saves effort, but also makes it more fun. You can stop wherever you want. When you see a shop you like or a food stall on the street corner, you can stop and enjoy it immediately. LUUP makes your trip no longer a rush from one subway station to another, but a real urban adventure. Today I will introduce how this compact electric scooter can make your trip to Japan easy and fun.

Where can I use LUUP service in Japan?

LUUP services are available in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Kyoto, Utsunomiya, Kobe, and Nagoya. There are 4,900 stations nationwide (as of 2023/11), of which Tokyo is the most densely populated.

Let’s start gliding through Japan!

This trip to Tokyo was much more relaxed because of LUUP. I didn’t feel tired from walking every day when I went out to play before. The whole trip was even more chilling! Recommended to you!

  1. I also used LUUP when I went to Tokyo recently. It felt great. It felt very different from using other public transportation. It gave me a sense of local life.
