Japan Destinations Bucket List Bottle — Traveler Edition
The trip in your hands before the plane even lands.
It's a travel guide you don't have to carry separately, a souvenir that builds itself as you go, and an insulated bottle that keeps your drink cold for the ten thousand steps you're about to walk.
27 illustrated destinations across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka
Comes with 18 extra stickers — swap in the places you actually visit, skip the ones you don't. Only doing Tokyo? No problem. You can still fill your bottle.
Built for real travel. Insulated stainless steel and water-resistant stickers.

The Traveler Bottle · Made by locals
A bucket list, a guide, and a souvenir, all in one.
For many people, Japan isn’t just a trip. It's something you’ve dreamed about for years. We’ve turned that feeling into something you can carry with you.
For the ones who dreamed first
Late nights researching.
The saved posts. The spreadsheet. The seventeen tabs open right now. We know the feeling.
We made the Traveler Bottle so you land with the confidence of someone who already knows the city.
“Where should I go?”
“There’s too much to plan.”
“I have no idea where to start.”
👉 Don't worry. We got you covered.
The places you dreamed about.
The ones you planned for.
The ones you wish you’d known.
The Traveler Bottle helps you experience them all.
How it started
The story behind the bottle.
We're bringing cheku to life through Kickstarter which means every order counts, and early backers get the best price we'll ever offer. Watch the story behind the bottle, and if it resonates, we'd love your support. ❤️
View on KickstarterWhat makes it different
A souvenir that stays with you.
The Golden Route
The places we fell in love with on our first trip to Japan, along with the ones we've been taking every friend and family member to ever since.
A portal back
Every time you reach for it, you’re transported back - to that izakaya, that Kyoto alley, that evening watching the sun hit Fuji.
Customizable to your trip
Comes with 18 extra stickers so the bottle doesn't tell you what your trip should look like. It reflects what it actually was.
Built to last
Durable stainless steel + water-resistant stickers. Made for the trip, and the years after.
Ships worldwide
Wherever you're planning from, we'll get it to you before you go.
Made to mean something
Most souvenirs end up in a drawer. This one gets used every day, which means the trip stays with you long after.
When it's the gift
The moments it's made for.
A gift before the flight, a marker during the trip, a keepsake long after.
Because your Japan is different
No two trips
are the same.
Most people don't hit every city. Maybe you're spending the whole trip in Tokyo. Maybe you're skipping Osaka.
That's why every Traveler Bottle comes with 18 extra destination stickers beyond the 27 on the bottle. Swap, replace, and fill it with the places that you prefer.
Everything in the box.
Made by people who live here
We’re a couple based in Tokyo, and from the very beginning, travel has been at the center of our relationship. Over time, we fell deeply in love with Japan and eventually made the decision to move here. Seven years later, it’s become the place we call home.
Throughout those years, we’ve explored Japan extensively through photography and personal travel, documenting destinations across the country.
We've welcomed many friends and family members who came to visit, and we always heard the same question.
“Where should we visit in Japan?”
Those conversations eventually shaped the idea for cheku. We began imagining a simple way for travelers to keep track of the places they visit, something tangible that brings back the feeling of a trip each time you look at it.
It led to the two of us working late into the night, learning many things from scratch. We began imagining the variations, carefully curating each destination and refining all the details.
If you've ever dreamed of visiting Japan and felt something pull inside you, you're who we made this for, and your support would mean the world to us.
