Read full descriptionHide full description
Walk your steps. Build Japan's legendary castles. No ads. No gacha. At your own pace. ShiroWalk is a collection-style walking game where your daily steps bring Japan's iconic castles to life — across 7 historic stages: Castle Plan, Stonework, First Tier, Tiled Roof, Keep, White Walls, and Completion. Every castle in ShiroWalk is an AI-generated artistic interpretation inspired by the real castle — not a historically accurate reconstruction. —————————————————— Why ShiroWalk —————————————————— ■ Zero ads. No gacha. Monthly subscription. No ad interruptions, no random pulls. Walk at your own pace, on your own terms. ■ 47 Castles × 7 Stages From Hokkaido to Okinawa — all 47 prefectures. Each castle transforms through all 7 stages, from empty lot to completion. Complete one castle to unlock the next. Watch your collection map turn gold. ■ 4 Legendary Phantom Castles (not for sale) Earn special titles to unlock historically lost castles: · Complete all 47 → Edo Castle (destroyed 1657) · 1,000,000 steps → Golden Azuchi Castle (Nobunaga's lost masterpiece, 1582) · 5,000,000 steps → Heian Imperial Palace · 100 consecutive days → Hiraizumi Muryoukouin These can never be purchased. Walking earns them. ■ 21 Achievement Titles Earn titles for castle completions, total steps, streaks, regional mastery, and more. —————————————————— Key Features —————————————————— ■ Choose your first castle from three Start free with Osaka, Nagoya, or Edo Castle. This first castle has a shortened step requirement — about a week at 7,000 steps a day. Subscribe or use a Castle Select Ticket to take on the remaining 46. ■ Castle Select Ticket Want just one specific castle without subscribing? One ticket = one castle instantly unlocked. ■ Castle Encyclopedia All 47 castles listed. Locked castles show a lock icon; active and completed castles show their current stage. Tap any castle to see detailed progress. ■ Completion Ceremony Reach your step goal and watch your castle come to life. ■ Widget (Lock Screen / Home Screen) See today's castle progress without opening the app. ■ A gentle word at every milestone ShiroWalk sends encouragement as your castle grows. Never pushy, never urgent. —————————————————— How steps work —————————————————— ShiroWalk reads your steps from Apple Health (read-only — it never writes to Apple Health, and your step data is never uploaded). Most castles require roughly 70,000–300,000 steps to complete, depending on the castle. Your first castle is shortened to about 50,000 — around a week at 7,000 steps a day. —————————————————— For you if... —————————————————— · You struggle to stay motivated to walk · You're tired of subscription overload and ads · You love Japanese history, castles, or samurai · You enjoy collection games or sim games · You want a calm game with no pressure · You loved PixelPot or Forest ShiroWalk. One step at a time. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://hiroooo.github.io/shirowalk/terms-of-service/ Privacy Policy: https://hiroooo.github.io/shirowalk/privacy-policy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 歩数計+駅伝 at none against ShiroWalk's 7. ShiroWalk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
