What's New in EkiWalk

1.9.0

October 11, 2026

ROUTE MAPS Every route now has its own map. On the Route tab, switch to Map to see the whole line drawn across Japan, with a "you are here" marker showing how far you've walked. Double-tap to zoom in for prefecture names and major stations, then drag to look around. Turn your phone sideways to see wide routes like the Tōkaidō Shinkansen full screen. Finished journeys in your Scrapbook show their map too. NEW ROUTE: SAN'YŌ SHINKANSEN Keep heading west from Shin-Ōsaka to Hakata: 19 stations over 554 km, with its own completion postcard. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Steps you walk past the end of a route now carry over to your next one. • If a new route starts on track you've already walked, like the Hokuriku Shinkansen after the Tōhoku, you can skip straight past that stretch. • Tōhoku Shinkansen and Yamanote Line distances now match JR's official figures. You keep every station and postcard you've already collected. • Footprints appear beside Today's Steps while EkiWalk fetches your latest steps. • Scrapbook journeys now show the route name and completion date.
