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.

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.
