irotabi is a simple travel log: colour in the places you have visited, right on the map. ■ Just tap to fill it in Tap a country or a prefecture and it fills in. No GPS, no booking-site sync, no diary to write. Japan's prefectures use four levels - not visited, passed through, stayed overnight, lived there - so a day trip and a year of living somewhere don't end up the same colour. Your count and your completion rate are always one glance away. ■ Nine maps included - Countries of the world (204) - Prefectures of Japan (47) - 100 Famous Japanese Mountains - 100 Fine Castles of Japan - World Heritage Sites in Japan - Japan's "Big Three" Tour - National Parks of Japan - Airports of Japan - 100 Famous Waterfalls of Japan (100) Add any of them from the Collection tab and grow as many maps as you like, side by side. Countries, World Heritage Sites, mountains, castles - keep all kinds of records in one app. ■ Your data stays on your device There is no account and no sign-up. Everything you record is stored on your device and is never sent to our servers. It works completely offline, so it keeps working where there is no signal. ■ Share with a QR code or a link Turn your map into a QR code, a URL or an image and hand it to a friend. They can overlay it on their own map. Both of you, only you, only them, neither - the four colours make it easy to talk about where to go next. Only the filled-in state travels. No notes, no dates, no device identifiers, and nothing passes through a server. ■ Ready to post Save your map as an image with your completion rate on it, ready for social media. ■ Dark mode Follows your system setting, or pick light or dark inside the app. This might be for you if you... - want a travel log that isn't a chore to keep - would rather not have an app track where you have been - like completing a set: all 47 prefectures, 100 mountains, 100 castles - want to compare maps with friends and family Note: this app shows ads. For devices set to Japan (region and Asia/Tokyo time zone), ads may be personalised; elsewhere they are non-personalised. On iOS, personalised ads require permission through App Tracking Transparency.
