## What is ON THE TRIP A Traveler's Guide?

“Making every destination a museum like experience”
ON THE TRIP will expand the possibilities of your travels.

This travel guide will deepen your understanding of cultural heritages, festivals, and even culture such as Zen and sushi.

-Mobile
You no longer need a guide book.
At a shrine, at a temple, at an art festival, all you have to do is download our guide and the GPS function will help guide you through your journey.

-Audio
Exactly like an audio guide from a museum, you don’t have to constantly be looking at your smartphone to absorb the information and story of our guides. You can concentrate on what is in front of you.

-Culture
Not only spot guides.
What is Zen? How do you eat Soba? What is the history of this place? These are all questions that can be answered by our free to use culture guides.

## Key features

- GPS-guided tours
- Museum-style audio guides

### 2/5 — Bad quality

*2026-05-08*

I can hear the keyboard, irrelevant information, inaccurate and confusing information. Lack of attention in detail

### 1/5 — Double charged

*2026-04-15*

Don’t install.  Paid for access code at entry Kiosk.  But no place to enter code.  Got charged again.

Also, descriptions were not well integrated with the actual site, adding minimal value and insight.

### 5/5 — 高尾山

*2025-10-27*

いつも歩きなれた場所で、もう数十回訪れていましたが、ガイドで景色が変わりました。
知らなかったことを勉強でき視界が広がったこと、また、その場所ならではのストーリーに没入できる感じが素晴らしかった。

### 1/5 — BEWARE

*2025-04-13*

Was forced to buy this at a museum, only to find out I couldn’t get reception inside.  Scam.

### 4/5 — 渋谷のアートイベントで使用◎

*2025-02-10*

渋谷で開催されている街歩きイマーシブ体験で初めて使用しました！街のガイドというよりは、渋谷の街の歴史を、物語と一緒に辿る体験メインで新鮮でした！渋谷にはかつて恋文横丁という場所があり、そこには代筆屋という職業があった…など知らない渋谷を知ることができました。

### 3/5 — 2024/12/22  STARTボタンが反応しない

*2024-12-21*

押しても反応しませんね。連休前なので早めに対応頂いた方が良いかと。

→ wifiを切ってキャリア回線で接続したらつながりました。でも検索など反応しない…  ガッチリ直後だからアクセス集中してますかね

### 5/5 — 保津川下りの際に利用

*2024-12-18*

川の流れる音を聞きながら、
保津川の歴史や生い立ちを丁寧に解説いただきました。体験の前に詳しくインプットでき、より保津川を楽しめた。
今後も旅行などで各地のスポットに行く際このアプリを必ず利用したい。

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-06-23*

Traveling in Japan I found the app very limited in utility and quite disappointing

### 5/5 — 地域と繋がる新しい方法

*2024-06-06*

素晴らしいアプリです。

雑誌で拝見して以来

このアプリを使っています。

各地のビジュアル紹介も

素敵なポスターみたいで

ワクワクします。

行って過ごしたくなるアプリ。

### 1/5 — 集中できない

*2024-01-24, version 1.22.0*

住職さんの話し方の癖が強すぎて、全く内容に集中できませんでした。
やはり、プロの方のナレーションの方が聞きやすい。
音声ガイドが好きで、あちこちで利用しますが
少しがっかりしました。
