Great maps with vital details like restroom & bus stops!

I can’t read Japanese

Even with setting this app to English, the vast majority is in Japanese. Doesn’t work for me.

YAMAP is not navigable in English

While Yamap claims to work in English, I have spent way too many hours just trying to create an account. The process is impossible for me to navigate with my limited ability to read and write Japanese. I want to cancel my purchase before the free demo period expires but I can find no way to do that. This app is either a fraud or is an inferior product created by an incompetent developer. I do not want to pay ichi yen for it.

English

I really want to use this app , I have downloaded it and asked on the app how to change the txt on page to English but cannot work out how .

Where is the English version??

When I decided to download this App I was excited because the data / App description said it was in English (also Japanese). So, I download the App (from the US App Store), and found that most of the whole thing is in Japanese 🤬.
I played around with it and figured out how record a simple day hike, but it’s just to much of a chore.
The Maps of Japan are pretty good but if you don’t understand (read) Japanese you won’t be happy. Sad 😢
Is it possible that I received a Japanese version of this App by mistake??

Love YAMAP!

We live in Kyushu and wouldn’t know what to do without YAMAP! It’s seriously a game changer. It’s AllTrails for Japan. If you like hiking you must download this app.

English language not available

Be advised, despite it been advertised as having both Japanese and English language, it only comes with Japanese language.
