Japan Trip

Your Japan plan,
on one map.
Even offline.

Japan Trip turns your itinerary into a day-by-day map of Japan. It saves the streets, train lines and buildings around every stop to your phone, so it keeps working in a subway station, on a mountain, or without a data plan.

Japan Trip on iPhone: the streets, river and railway around Arashiyama in Kyoto, with a stop's card at the bottom

Built for walking around Japan

Most trip planners are made for the couch. Japan Trip is made for the moment you step out of the station and need to know where you're going.

Works offline

Streets, train lines, rivers and buildings for about 1 km around each stop are saved to your phone, plus a built-in map of Japan's railways and main roads.

Paste your plan

Copy an itinerary from anywhere and paste it in. "Day 1, Day 2…" become days, and every place is looked up and pinned. You check the matches before anything is added.

One day at a time

Tap a day to see just its stops, numbered in order with the route between them. Long-press to zoom back out to the whole trip.

Show a local

Hold one button and the place's Japanese name fills the screen, big and clear, so you can show it to a taxi driver or ask for directions.

Nothing changes by accident

The map is view-only while you walk. Moving or removing stops happens on a separate edit screen, and nothing is saved until you tap Save.

Your language

The app and place names come in 12 languages, including English, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish and Thai.

A map that shows what you need

Zoomed out you see Japan's regions, prefectures and big cities. Zoom in and the detail appears where your trip goes.
