Offline maps and travel information

The app provides guides and articles covering practical topics such as transport, Wi-Fi, money, food, culture, nightlife, and shopping. Recommended itineraries are available for destinations across Japan. Offline spot search helps locate train stations, ATMs, currency exchange points, tourist information centers, and selected free Wi-Fi locations. Users can also look for nearby or destination-based hotels, rental cars, and activities.

Build and manage an itinerary

Interesting places found in articles or on the map can be saved as favorites and arranged into a timeline. Plans can be viewed on a map, with transport options checked directly from the itinerary. The itinerary feature also includes more than 200 editor- and user-created travel plans that can be searched, adapted, and shared.

Optional paid features add delay-related alternative routes, voice navigation with landmarks, article rankings, extra collections, and rain or snow radar covering the next six hours. Background GPS may affect battery life when enabled.
