The commercial features actress and model Rinka Kumagaya, and is set in destinations such as Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, expressing the appeal of a trip that makes you feel like “The World is Just Around the Corner.” This commercial is aimed at people who feel that they haven’t been able to travel abroad recently, or that they want to travel but the hurdles are high, and proposes that overseas travel be made more “psychologically and physically familiar”. The series depicts different travel styles, including “Thailand Couple Travel Edition”, “Korea Girls Travel Edition”, and “Taiwan Solo Travel Edition”. Each version is structured so that viewers can imagine their own unique trip, and impressively conveys the appeal of “easy overseas travel” that can be realized through Trip.com. In Japan, the percentage of people who own a passport is still low, and many people feel that traveling abroad is a bit of a challenge. Trip.com has created this commercial with the theme of traveling to “familiar overseas destinations” so that even such people can easily take the first step. In terms of the production, everyday scenes are deliberately depicted in black and white, and then the colorful scenery and music of the travel destination unfolds, symbolically expressing the “sense of freedom” that comes from traveling, both visually and aurally. The star, Rinka Kumagaya, blends naturally into the culture and scenery of each country, embodying a realistic and life-sized overseas trip. The content has been created to make many people feel that overseas travel is a more familiar option. Furthermore, this TV commercial series focuses on the emotions and fun of travel, while also introducing the convenience and peace of mind that Trip.com offers, such as “24/7 Japanese customer support,” “guaranteed lowest hotel prices,” and “points service that gives you both coins and miles.” Trip.com offers safe and affordable services that are great for both first-time and repeat customers. Be sure to check out the TV commercial to see the “fun of travel” that is right next to your daily life. ■”The world is right there.” TV commercial overview Release date and time: Tuesday, July 1, 2025, 0:00 AM Cast: Kumagaya Rinka Shimamura Yudai, Asaki, Ayannu

This commercial was shot in four countries: Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan, and I think it fully captures the charm of each country. The scenery was so beautiful, the food was delicious, and I got to experience a variety of activities, which really gave me a real feel for the charm of Asia, so I think this commercial will be able to convey that charm to everyone. Of the four countries you filmed in (Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan), which one left the most impression on you? It was hard to choose because each country was so impressive, but the most memorable experience was wearing traditional Thai clothing, which is rare, and shooting in the sunset. The shoot was also held at a beautiful time of day to capture the sunset, and it was very fantastical. What do you think is the appeal of these three countries (Thailand, Korea, and Taiwan) that makes them feel so close to each other? Korea is close to us physically, but I was able to experience the fact that a completely different world is spread out so close to us. Recently, Korean-style makeup has become popular, the fashion is cute, the cafes are cute, and there are lots of situations that look good in photos, so it was a lot of fun. I thought it was perfect for a girls’ trip. The local people in Taiwan were very friendly, and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere. The food was so delicious that I ate xiaolongbao every day. Lu rou fan and other food were also delicious, and I really liked the atmosphere in Taiwan. I’ve always enjoyed the extraordinary experience of being in Thailand, and this time I wore traditional costumes, took photos, and ate tropical fruits, and it felt like I was living a rich life. Where would you like to go using Trip.com? I lived in France as a child, so I want to go to France. I grew up in Lyon, so I have many memories of the kindergarten I went to as a child, the markets, and many other places, but they are so young and vague, so I think that if I could take a trip to Paris or Lyon to relive those memories, it would help me grow. Although I lived there when I was little, I don’t speak French and I’m very worried about whether I’ll be able to understand what they’re saying, but Trip.com has 365-day/24-hour Japanese support, so I hope I can use it to have a safe and relaxing trip. ■Comment from Kumada Rinka We had a wonderful commercial.
