iwafu flash | See what’s happening around you in Japan, right now Open the app and your surroundings appear on the map: moments just captured nearby, place topics people are discussing, and store coupons you can use just a short walk away. No need to search in advance or read through a guide—wherever you are, see what’s happening there right now. [See what’s nearby as soon as you open the app] Centered on your location, the map shows nearby live updates, place topics, coupons, and local business boards all at once. See the distance and when something was posted at a glance. [Share what’s happening right in front of you] When you see a moment that’s interesting, moving, or worth sharing, capture it and post it. No need to perfect the photo or write a long introduction. Choose from your photo library or take a photo directly; the app automatically reads the capture time and location to keep your post close to the real moment. [Start a topic for any place] Wondering how crowded this street is right now? Want to know whether that restaurant still has tables available today? You can now choose a place and start a topic directly, letting people nearby or familiar with the area respond. You don’t have to be there, and you don’t need a photo—one question can start a conversation around a place. [Nearby coupons you can use as soon as you get there] Browse offers from nearby businesses, from food and shopping to experiences. Use map mode to save offers in advance, then show the coupon at the store to redeem it. Find coupons from nationwide chains and popular local businesses across Japan on one map. [Understand each other’s posts in six languages] Supports Traditional Chinese, Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Thai. Even when posts are written in different languages, translation helps you understand the content and discussions. [Help complete the picture of Japan right now] Some things never make it into guidebooks or search results. But when someone is there and someone is willing to answer, the Japan around you becomes a little clearer. Whether you’re traveling in Japan, living there, or simply curious to see what different parts of Japan look like right now, open iwafu flash and see what’s happening near you.
