What the app does

Everything you need in Japan,
even with no signal.

An internet connection is needed the first time, to download each city's data and the map. After that, everything works offline.

Seven cities

Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kamakura, Nikko and Hiroshima, each including its surrounding area: Enoshima and Fujisawa with Kamakura, Miyajima with Hiroshima, Uji with Kyoto, Lake Chuzenji with Nikko.

ATMs that take foreign cards

Most Japanese ATMs reject cards issued abroad. The app filters for the ones that work: Seven Bank, Japan Post, AEON and Lawson. It's the detail that matters most on your first day.

Train lines on the map

Rail and subway lines are drawn in their official colors, so you can see how places connect. They appear only when the station filter is on, keeping the map clean the rest of the time.

Travel journal

Save favorites, keep private notes and collect your goshuin. Build a day route from only the stops you pick, ordered along the shortest path.

Temples, shrines and the practical stuff

Temples, shrines, museums and viewpoints, plus restrooms, konbini, stations and ATMs, all searchable on the map.

Also inside

Dark mode, weather, and earthquake alerts from the Japan Meteorological Agency.
