NearMe is a Tokyo-based mobility company that calls itself a social design company. Its proprietary AI matches riders traveling in the same direction and optimizes vehicle routes, so passengers share rides at lower fares. The core service is a door-to-door airport shuttle linking airports nationwide with homes and hotels. It also offers shared taxis in Tokyo, Osaka, Shizuoka and Hokkaido, and chartered hire cars or taxis that carry up to nine passengers.

For local governments and businesses, NearMe provides reservation-based regional shuttle services that complement public transport, and a LINE-based dispatch system for transport operators. Its listed partners include Japan Airlines, ANA Holdings, JR East and Keikyu, and it works with municipalities such as Ota Ward in Tokyo and Niigata City. The company was established in July 2017.
