- Regional Events in February Drive Travel Demand Following Tokyo and Osaka
- Seasonal events such as Fukuoka's "Path of Light," Sapporo's "Sapporo Snow Festival," and Okinawa's "Cherry Blossom Festival" contribute to rising interest in regional cities
TOKYO, Dec. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda, operated by Agoda Company Pte. Ltd. (Headquartered in Singapore, CEO: Omri Morgenshtern), today announced the top five domestic destinations in Japan gaining booking momentum this winter (December 2025 – February 2026), based on search data from Japanese travelers.
In the 2025 winter travel search trends, Tokyo and Osaka continued to lead the ranking, maintaining the top two positions from the previous year.

| 1 | Tokyo | Tokyo |
| 2 | Osaka | Osaka |
| 3 | Fukuoka | Fukuoka |

February Regional Events Fuel Search Growth
A notable trend revealed in the search data is the strong influence of February seasonal events in boosting interest in regional destinations.
- Fukuoka: Miyajidake Shrine "Path of Light" (February) - A mystical sunset phenomenon visible only twice a year, the "Path of Light" has become popular on social media, contributing to increased February travel searches.
- Sapporo: Sapporo Snow Festival (Early February) - Japan's largest winter event, attracting visitors from Japan and abroad. With its ice sculptures, illuminated displays, and food festivals, Sapporo remains a leading city for winter travel demand.
- Okinawa Main Island: Cherry Blossom Festival (Early February) - Okinawa is the first place in Japan where cherry blossoms bloom each year. The island's warm climate combined with early-blooming sakura maintains its steady popularity as a winter getaway.
Overall, the data clearly indicates that seasonal events concentrated in February are a major driver of domestic winter travel demand.
Tadashi Ikai, Senior Country Director, Agoda International Japan, shared: "Agoda's latest search data shows that, in addition to major metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, regional cities hosting rich seasonal events in February are also receiving a high volume of searches. Experiences unique to winter - such as Fukuoka's 'Path of Light,' Sapporo's 'Sapporo Snow Festival,' and Okinawa Main Island's 'Cherry Blossom Festival', are capturing travelers' interest and strongly driving demand for winter travel. At Agoda, we remain committed to helping travelers fully enjoy these diverse winter experiences. By continuing to offer a wide range of domestic options and a seamless booking experience, we aim to make every journey more fulfilling and memorable for our users."

Agoda Releases Ranking of Japan's Most Popular Domestic Winter Travel Destinations

QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergis Software announced that Synergis Adept, its engineering document management platform, has been named to G2's 2026 Best Software Awards, ranking No. 37 in the Best CAD & PLM Software Products. Among the products recognized, Adept is the highest-ranked solution whose primary G2 category is Engineering Document Management.
The award reinforces Adept's mission to help asset-intensive organizations design, build, and operate with confidence through greater control and automation of critical engineering and product data.
Selected from more than 175,000 software vendors on G2, Adept's placement in G2's Best Software Awards ranks the solution among the top 1%, based on verified customer reviews and market presence data.
Synergis Adept delivers a single source of truth connecting engineering, operations, maintenance, capital project, and construction teams. With deep CAD integration, version and revision control, automated compliance-ready workflows, and complete audit traceability, the platform enables manufacturers, utilities, life sciences, mining, and oil and gas organizations to optimize operations, reduce risk, and accelerate projects.
"This recognition belongs to our customers as much as it does to us," said Scott Lamond, Vice President of Marketing at Synergis Software. "The trust our customers place in us—and the feedback they share—push us to keep improving and delivering beyond expectations. We're proud to support organizations that rely on Adept every day to manage the engineering information that keeps their operations running safely and efficiently."
This award—along with more than 30 additional top placements in G2's quarterly rankings—signals sustained customer recognition across product performance and real-world results. 95% of reviews are rated four or five stars, with customers citing usability, implementation success, ROI, and exceptional customer support. For many organizations, that impact is transformational—both in how they operate and in the partnership they rely on.
"My company had countless engineering drawings spread across network file shares, homegrown systems, and SharePoint, with no common method of managing them. With Adept, we were able to standardize the management software, collect appropriate metadata, secure and control documents, and enhance searchability, all while improving access control and limiting sensitive materials to approved users."
— Chris Wood, Dow (G2 review)
"No other software company anywhere works as closely with their customers. The Synergis staff is incredibly responsive and consistently go above and beyond to solve customer issues. For a system that your business cannot operate without, this is invaluable."
— Ryan Mongeau, Space Age Electronics (G2 Review)
In addition to its placement on the 2026 Best Software Awards, Synergis Adept earned multiple Winter 2026 G2 badges across Engineering Document Management, Product Data Management, Construction Drawing Management, and Enterprise Content Management categories, including Best Usability, Best Results, Best Relationship, Best Support, High Performer, and Momentum Leader distinctions.
