LOCAL GACHA helps visitors discover local Japan beyond crowded tourist hotspots.

Inspired by Japanese capsule toy machines, our interactive 3D web app reveals real local places through a playful surprise. Each discovery includes a real photo, a Google Maps link, and a Gemini-powered guide.

FalkorDB connects places through neighborhoods and shared experiences. Gemini uses those connections and place information to answer questions such as “What should I try?” and “Where should I go next?”

Our working prototype features five real Tokyo locations. We aim to bring more attention to overlooked local shops and neighborhoods by making discovery fun and approachable.
