User Reviews

This is the perfect app for travelers who want to see the best of Japan, but not like every other tourists. The app is thoughtful and intuitive. You can identify specific interests and sites from restaurants to gardens, or follow the curated guide for multi-day trips. Highly recommend for any Japan trip!

Instead of saving a million videos about Japan this app is way better and extremely well organized. The map feature is the best part, you can easily see where all attractions, restaurants, photo spots, ect are located so you can plan your days more efficiently. The guide part has helpful tips all in one place-especially the transportation section when there’s so much confusing info out there on which type of tickets you should buy. The emergency information section is great too, hopefully you won’t need it, but I never see anything like that on travel apps/videos!
