About
"How realistic is owning a home in Tokyo? Could I afford one if I moved to the countryside?"
Life Map - Plan Where to Live is a financial education life simulator that visualizes where you can afford to live on the map of Japan, by your savings.
■ How It Plays
You're 18, with until age 70 to find your home. Tick through life month by month: salary, rent, side jobs, marriage, kids, mortgage. Pick from 9 dream packages (Tokyo high-rise, Kyoto townhouse, Karuizawa villa, Okinawa resort, hometown house) and find your smartest route on real Japanese data.
■ Japan Map & Market
- 52 areas (47 prefectures plus Minato, Karuizawa, Niseko, parents' home). Rent, living costs, and income vary by prefectural-capital references
- Pins show what you can buy now, reach soon, or can't reach
- Tap any area for rent (single / family), living cost, expected income, relocation cost
■ Time & Life Events
- 1 real-world day = 1 in-game month. Time advances even when closed; catches up on relaunch
- 24+ life events: side gig, job offer, marriage, illness, bonus, childbirth, layoff, NISA, market crash, promotion, car purchase, early repayment, and more
- Health and family relations (0-100) drive mechanics: low health raises illness odds and cuts income; low family makes marriage and kids less likely
■ Money & Housing
- Decouple workplace and residence: "Tokyo salary, countryside life"
- Moving costs scale with rent (deposit + key money, 6 months): Minato 720K, Tokyo 480K, regional ~300K (JPY)
- Home loan modeled after Flat 35 (1.8%/yr fixed, 35-year term); repayment ratio over 25% shows a warning
- After buying, HOA fees, property tax, and education costs hit your cash flow
■ Dashboard
- One screen: savings, income, age, health, family, location, cash flow, where to move next
- 3-mode toggle (full / compact / hidden) for a wider map; state persists
- "What might happen next" forecast hints at upcoming events
- 12 achievement badges
■ Onboarding & Endings
- 6 preset lives plus a fully custom setup
- 5-step first-run tutorial (replayable from Settings)
- Mortgage-paid-off celebration
- 5-tier final grade (S / A / B / C / D) at age 70, scored on savings, mortgage status, health, and family, each with a title from "Living the Dream" to "A Life to Restart"
■ Daily Habit (build financial literacy little by little)
- "Today's Money Quiz": one question a day on mortgages, NISA, insurance, taxes, markets, and budgeting. Answering advances one in-game month; correct answers earn a bonus
- Morning / noon / evening touchpoints: the quiz, an economy news tidbit, and a recap (balance, assets, goal). Build a login streak; clear all three for a full-combo bonus
- A daily "Today's Happening" surprise event at launch
- Quiz and news content comes from a server (Firebase), so new questions arrive without an app update; works offline with bundled data too
- Gentle daily notifications with today's lesson
■ Monetization
- Free to download and play
- Banner ad at the bottom of the dashboard
- Rewarded video ad in Settings ("Time Boost") advances 1 month instantly
- One-time IAP "Speed Boost Pro" (600 JPY, not a subscription): permanently unlocks 2x and 4x speeds and removes the banner. Buy once; restore on a new device with the same Apple ID
■ Made For
- 20s and 30s thinking about buying a home
- Parents teaching kids about money and life planning
- Schools and educators seeking financial literacy material
■ Privacy
Play data (age, savings, income, progress) is stored mainly on your device. The app uses Firebase (anonymous authentication and Cloud Firestore) for content delivery, which generates an anonymous identifier; no personally identifying information such as name or email is collected. Google AdMob may process advertising identifiers for ads. iOS shows the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt; declining limits ads to non-personalized.
