Save places in seconds

Saving a place from a map link

Share a place from your maps app, paste a link, or send it from Safari. Kokoro Japan Guide reads name, address, city, district and position – and checks that the position matches the address, so places land where they belong.

Understand Japanese names

A Japanese name translated on the device

Japanese restaurant and sight names are translated into your language directly on your device. The Japanese original stays saved.

Lists and daytrips

A daytrip with numbered stops and walking times

Sort places into Food and Sightseeing, create your own lists ("Best ramen") and daytrips. See walking and transit times between stops and let the app suggest a sensible order.

Show it to the driver

A full-screen card in Japanese with the address

One tap shows the destination in large Japanese script with the address – so any taxi driver can read it.

Works offline

The app showing a saved map without a connection

Your places stay available without internet, and the app keeps map pictures for offline use.

Apple Watch

Apple Watch showing an arrow and the distance

An arrow and the distance point you to your destination right from your wrist.

Safari extension

The Safari extension sending a place to the app

Open a place in the browser, tap the extension and send it to the app – also from your Mac to your iPhone via iCloud.

Private by design

No account, no tracking, no advertising. Your places stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Read the privacy policy.
