## What is World Heritage Walking?

Introduced in NHK BS1 Walkers TV "The 2nd Kyoto Edition.
Featured in the February 2022 issue of “大人のおしゃれ手帖”.

World Heritage Walking (Pedometer) is a health care application that works in conjunction with the pedometer on your smartphone or Apple Watch to take you on a World Heritage adventure. 

More than 400 World Heritage sites are available, and courses are set so that users can achieve "8,000 steps per day. Users can virtually visit World Heritage sites on the map in conjunction with the pedometer at cultural, natural, and composite World Heritage sites around the world. 

Users set a goal to reach a World Heritage site, so the application encourages walking and helps users get exercise. 
It may even help you study for the World Heritage Examination!

■ There are over 400 registered World Heritage sites!
A total of more than 400 World Heritage sites in Asia, Europe, South America, Africa, Oceania, and North and Central America can be visited on the app. Users can freely select the World Heritage sites they wish to visit. All they have to do is walk with their phone! The app counts the number of steps you take and moves you to your destination.

■ A simple pedometer function is included! You can immediately check the number of steps taken and calories burned in a day!
Easily check the number of steps taken, calories burned, distance walked, and time spent in a day. Users can set a target number of steps to see if they are on track to meet their goal. Users can also check their weekly step count on a bar graph or line graph.

■ A step count calendar is also included! Check your monthly step count!
You can check the number of steps you have taken each month on the step count calendar. If the target number of steps has been reached, the gauge will be maxed out and a check mark will be added. The number of steps is visualized in an easy-to-understand manner, so you can immediately check if you have achieved your daily step count goal. You can also check the number of steps taken per hour on a bar graph or line graph.

■ Post the results of your daily steps with the SNS function! Keep your motivation up with the "likes" that people give you!
Users can post comments when they reach a World Heritage Site. The postings can be viewed and "liked" by users all over the world. Users can see the comments and "likes" and stay motivated to continue walking without getting bored.

■ Designed to conserve your phone's battery, so you can go out with peace of mind!
To reduce battery consumption, the number of steps is not monitored in real time. The number of steps is not monitored even when the app is in the background. The app is designed to acquire the number of steps only when the number of steps is necessary due to user operations while the app is in the foreground, thus reducing the battery consumption of the smartphone. Compared to conventional pedometers, which consume large amounts of battery power, this energy-saving design allows you to use the app with peace of mind.

### 1/5 — 歩数がリアルタイムで反映されない

*2026-06-27*

使い始めの頃はちゃんと歩数が反映されて到達するとお知らせが来たのに今はリアルタイムで反映されず知らせも来ない。ガッカリ…

### 3/5 — 目的地達成が連続されない

*2026-05-16*

歩いた距離（歩数）で各地の世界遺産を巡れるのはとても良いと思い始めました。しばらくして、目的地が短いと100歩でも1000歩でも、アプリを開いた時点でのゴールになるので、たくさん歩いてもひとつのゴールにしかならない。という事に気づきました。
歩数自体はカウントされているので、累積歩数で目的地も2個でも3個でも一気に繰越して進むシステムにして欲しいです。

### 4/5 — 繰り越し出来ない…

*2026-02-16*

ゴールまでの残りの距離を確認しマメにアプリを開かないとゴールしてて、それ以降が反映されない。でも楽しい

### 5/5 — 続けられそう

*2026-01-25*

世界を周りながらの散歩はやる気を起こしてくれます！

### 5/5 — ウォーキング

*2026-01-15, version 2.0.2*

世界中を歩いている様で楽しい‼️

### 5/5 — ウォーキングが楽しい

*2026-01-10*

元々世界巡りが趣味でしたが、なかなか行けない世の中になり、懐かしいなと思ったり、綺麗だなと思ったり、世界遺産の知識も学べてとてもウォーキングが楽しみになるアプリです。作ってくださりありがとう😊

### 5/5 — 続いてる

*2026-01-01*

歩いても喫茶店やカフェに行ってしまい、なかなか続かない。このアプリで歩いた歩数や距離で世界遺産を巡ってる気分になるし、知識もつくのは良いと思います。

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2025-12-17*

運動習慣を身につけられます。広告もしつこくなく、今後も使い、応援したくなるアプリです。

### 5/5 — タノシイーーー

*2025-08-26, version 1.27.0*

意外と行ける場所も多くて飽きない。しかも、アップデートが多いのでそれも飽きない理由になる。ゲームみたいに疲れる訳もないがゲームみたいに面白い。
