## What is Japan Explorer?

Japan Explorer is your personal guide to Japan's greatest cities and most iconic destinations.

  Three animated guides — Kaito, Ren, and Daichi — walk you through Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka with rich audio narration, curated walking
  routes, and insider tips that bring every temple, street, and neighborhood to life.

  EXPLORE THREE CITIES

  Tokyo — Navigate the electric energy of Shibuya, the ancient calm of Senso-ji, the hidden alleys of Shinjuku, and everything in
  between. 25 points of interest with full audio guides.

  Kyoto — Walk the thousand-year-old paths of Japan's cultural heart. From the Golden Pavilion to the bamboo groves of Arashiyama, from
  Fushimi Inari's endless gates to the geisha streets of Gion.

  Osaka — Eat your way through Japan's kitchen. Dotonbori's neon-lit food stalls, Osaka Castle's cherry blossoms, Shinsekai's retro
  charm, and the best street food on the planet.

  ICONIC JAPAN — BEYOND THE CITIES

  Discover 12 legendary destinations with a fourth guide, Akari. Mount Fuji at sunrise. Nara's sacred deer. Kamakura's Great Buddha.
  Hiroshima's Peace Memorial. Miyajima's floating torii gate. Hakone's volcanic hot springs. And more — each with audio chapters telling
   the stories behind the places.

  AUDIO GUIDES THAT FEEL LIKE A FRIEND

  Every point of interest has a teaser and a deep-dive audio guide. Listen as you walk. The guides tell you where to look, what to
  notice, and the stories that make each place meaningful — not just facts, but the human stories behind the history.

  CURATED WALKS

  Each city has 7 themed walking routes: Classic landmarks, spiritual temples, cultural highlights, street food tours, nature escapes,
  nightlife adventures, and a full-day marathon. Every walk includes a route map, difficulty rating, estimated time, and the points of
  interest along the way.

  DESIGNED FOR TRAVELERS

  Japan Explorer was built for people actually visiting Japan. The map shows nearby POIs. The audio plays in the background while you
  walk. The walking routes track your progress. Everything works without an internet connection once downloaded.

  Free to download with sample content. Unlock the full experience with a single purchase — no subscriptions, no ads, yours forever.
