歩いた道のりが、そのまま旅になる。 「あしあと」は、毎日の歩数で東海道・中山道を旅する、歩数計&ごほうび図鑑アプリです。いつもの散歩や通勤が、宿場から宿場へと進む小さな旅に変わります。 ■ 歩くほど、旅が進む 今日歩いた分だけ、地図の上をあなたの足あとが進みます。宿場に着くたびに、その土地の物語や浮世絵、名所が図鑑に集まっていきます。 ■ 干支の仲間といっしょに 歩みを重ねると、十二支の動物の仲間がひとりずつ増えていきます。お気に入りの子は、旅の案内人に。毎朝、今日のひとことや豆知識を届けてくれます。 ■ 見つけた景色を残す「マイマップ」 散歩で出会った風景や好きな場所を、写真とメモで地図に残せます。あなただけの発見が、少しずつ地図を彩ります。 ■ 仲間と歩く 友だちを招待して、みんなの歩数を合わせてゴールを目指すグループ機能も。ひとりでも、だれかと一緒でも、自分のペースで。 ■ やさしい設計 「歩けない日」を責めません。無理なく、続けられること。毎日の一歩を、そっと後押しします。 さあ、あなたの足あとで、日本の街道を旅しませんか。 ※歩数はヘルスケアの歩数データを利用します。
