FOR BUSINESSES & ORGANISERS

Bring your festival or experience to people from around the world.

A platform that connects Japanese culture with the world — together with shops, places to stay, event organisers and the people who keep culture alive. Low fees mean the value you create reaches you, undiminished.
率POINT 01 · LOW FEES

5% as standard.
1% when paid in crypto.

Matsuri's fee is 5% on card payments and 1% on crypto (SOL or MTC). And the buyer pays it on top of the listed price — so the price you set is the price you receive, with nothing taken off. Card processing fees (Stripe) are included in the 5%.

届POINT 02

With AI and blockchain, money reaches the people who make it — and keeps circulating

Fewer hands in between, so sales go to the makers. Transactions are recorded on the blockchain, and AI helps with running things and getting found. The value you create reaches you directly and keeps moving within your community.
