CHRNBL vs Offbeat Japan

The app enables free access to the historical and cultural legacy of Chornobyl. We want this app to become a practical guide for tourists and those curious about the Exclusion Zone today. - Informational section with News about the current situation in the Exclusion Zone; History; Fakes exposure; Creators page - Articles about the cultural heritage of Chornobyl, personal stories and artistic image of the topic; - Discover the Map of the Exclusion Zone, read on locations within and get an additional interactive content about those spots; - AR mode would allow you to explore replicas of either full locations or items from the places in 3D by placing it in your environment; - Media library with archived materials and exclusive content; - Guided routes for virtual visit to the Exclusion Zone; - Instruction on how to get ready for a real travel and information on buying tickets online and choosing professional guides. The project is supported by the Ukranian Cultural Foundation. The app and creators vision may differ or not fully resemble the UCF viewpoint.

The Japan that regular guidebooks don't show. Offbeat Japan brings you hundreds of adventures off the beaten path, photographed and told by Jordy Meow, an explorer based in Japan for over fifteen years: forgotten villages, mountain shrines, cat islands, abandoned places, and festivals tourists never see. The app is made for dreaming, learning and planning, whether your next trip is in a month or in ten years. EVERYTHING OFFLINE Every story is synced to your iPhone. On the subway, on a plane, deep in the Japanese countryside: everything reads without a connection, photos included. Instant search works offline too. IN TUNE WITH THE SEASONS The app lives to Japan's rhythm: winter, spring, summer, autumn: each season has its own color, places and moods. A dedicated section covers urban exploration (haikyo) for fans of abandoned places. AUTUMN LEAVES AND CHERRY BLOSSOM FORECAST Follow the koyo and sakura fronts across Japan day by day on a live map, then pick the hidden places where the colors are at their best. ONE DISCOVERY A DAY Every day, the app surfaces a new discovery from the archives. Let yourself be surprised. THE MAP OF SECRETS Every geolocated place on one map, colored by season. Perfect for building an itinerary unlike any other. LIVE JAPAN ALERTS Real-time earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis, straight from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Follow what's happening, or keep an eye on a region you love. IS JAPAN EXPENSIVE?
