## What is Sta.Navi?

Launched at Tokyo Sta. in August 2020, "TOKYO STATION NAVI" celebrates its 5th anniversary. With your support, we are rebranding to "Sta.Navi" and expanding nationwide.

Basic Features of the App

1. Map Display and Search Function:
   Display shops and facilities in stations and towns on layered 2D maps (2.5D maps) and 3D maps. You can find the location of your desired shop or facility using keyword or category search.

2. Indoor Positioning:
   Even indoors or underground where GPS doesn't work, you can determine your location. Search results are displayed in order of proximity, allowing you to find the nearest shop or facility. Note that positioning accuracy may vary depending on the environment.

3. Pre-Route Check:
   You can specify departure and destination points on the map to check the movement route within the area, even if you are not on-site.

4. Real-Time Information:
   Check real-time availability information for some shops, coin lockers, and restrooms.

5. Barrier-Free Routes:
   Display barrier-free routes with elevators and ramps for wheelchair users, stroller users, and those with suitcases.

6. Indoor Priority Comfortable Routes:
   Prioritize indoor routes to avoid rain, heat, or snow, providing suitable routes for those who prefer indoor paths.

7. Favorites and My Spots:
   Register your favorite shops or locations like coin lockers where you left your luggage or meeting spots with friends as "My Spots" to use Sta.Navi as your personalized navigation tool.

8. 3D Map Navigation:
   Use walkthrough navigation, AR navigation, and VR features to check movement routes.

9. Advertisement Information:
   Provide information on deals and events in the area through banner ads, pop-up ads, and map bubble ads.

10. Notification Function:
   By allowing notifications from the app, you can receive information on events and coupons in the area, ensuring you don't miss out on deals and enhancing your activities in stations and towns.

11. SNS Integration:
   Access the latest information by linking to various SNS and web pages related to stations and commercial facilities.

12. Real-Time Information Updates and Use of Open Data:
   Collaborate with facility managers participating in Sta.Navi to update store, facility, and map information in real-time as much as possible, providing the latest information. Additionally, actively use open data created by national and local governments to create maps and route data, achieving more accurate and reliable navigation.

13. Disaster Information:
   Sta.Navi also includes evacuation facilities and disaster information. It provides information on evacuation sites, evacuation routes, and emergency contacts, supporting user safety. This makes the app useful not only for daily movement but also in emergencies.

### 4/5 — 起動が早くなった気がする

*2026-03-20*

前まで地図が表示されるまでに結構時間がかかっていたのに、なんかだいぶ早くなった気がする。
駅とか地下道とかビルの中のルートがわかるのが良い。屋内優先快適ルートというのが検索できるようになっていた。暑かったので使ってみたら、地下道を通ってお店まで行けた。
全部の地下道がつながっていると、もっとありがたいです。

### 1/5 — バッテリー減りやばい

*2026-02-02*

バックグラウンド処理しすぎ。バッテリーの減りの約３割をこのアプリが占めていた。他のアプリは10%程度。何をしたらこうなる🤪

### 5/5 — 普通に便利

*2026-01-18*

降りたホームから待合せの改札口まで、いつも迷ってしまうが、このアプリで遠回りすることなく最短ルートで着いたので嬉しい！

### 4/5 — Language

*2025-12-12, version 3.0.0*

where can i switch language to Japanese?

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-11-22, version 3.0.0*

This app doesnt display step by step, nor a 3D map. Don’t waste your time on this app

### 5/5 — Must have if you are a visitor

*2025-10-24, version 3.0.0*

I stayed for a week near the Tokyo station and struggled to navigate my way to venues while walking. Most nearby buildings can be reached by underground walkways which is very useful when it rains.  Google maps just doesn’t work and it was always frustrating to find your way around.  This app is a game changer.  It gives you clear instructions from start to finish including going up and down stairs and you have maps of every floor.  I started at 1F and when I went downstairs to the basement level I switched the map to B1 and it showed me the underground paths. Amazing app!

### 1/5 — 地図がみずらい

*2025-09-17*

ホームページの方がみやすいし操作性がゆいです。
地図の全体図もホームページのほあが。みやすいです

### 1/5 — 案内あっても迷う

*2025-09-13*

位置情報の更新が遅い、向いてる方向に扇状のアイコンが向かない、ぱっと見でどこに店があるかわからない、動作がもっさりする
東京駅内での使用も更新とか実際向いてる方向と画面内の方向が違うとかあるかもしれませんが、本当に使いにくいです

### 1/5 — 位置がズレる

*2025-09-03*

B1のこのエスカレーターは1階のどこなのかを見たいのに、階層のレイヤーを変えると位置が変わっている。常にデフォルト位置に固定されるようだ。それだと私にとっては使えない。わざわざインストールするほどではなかった。

### 5/5 — 屋内優先快適ルート！

*2025-08-13, version 3.0.0*

駅とか地下道とかビルの中のルートがわかるのが良い。屋内優先快適ルートというのが検索できるようになっていた。暑かったので使ってみたら、地下道を通ってお店まで行けた。
全部の地下道がつながっていると、もっとありがたいです。
