How It Works

Just by walking, you travel across the map

Connected with Health Connect, the app automatically reads the steps recorded by your phone or wearable. You move across a real map exactly as far as you've walked.

1

Just walk as usual

Steps are collected automatically via Health Connect — no extra input needed.

2

Head wherever you like

The destination is fixed, but the route is yours to choose — take as many detours as you want.

3

Collect sights and badges

Get a badge whenever you reach a famous spot, with a local comment from Arukyun.

4

Turn around at the goal

Reach Shuri Castle or Cape Soya and start again — every lap feels new.

Key Features

More than just a step counter

Built with real geography and transit routes for a genuinely immersive journey.

100+ famous sights nationwide

Shiretoko Five Lakes, Matsushima, Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Himeji Castle, Dogo Onsen, Mt. Aso, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and many more iconic Japanese landmarks await along the way.

Local AI Comments from Arukyun

When you arrive somewhere new, the original character "Arukyun" generates local info and comments, making it feel like you're really there.

Real Ferries and Bridges, Recreated

Real routes such as the Tsugaru Strait Ferry, Seto Ohashi Bridge, Kanmon Ferry, and Marix Line are faithfully recreated — you can't simply cut straight across the sea.

Signpost Guide

Drop a pin anywhere, and your companion "Yajiru" will point you the way, making the journey to your goal easier to follow.

National Conquest Map

A dedicated map colors in every municipality you've visited, so you can see at a glance how much of Japan you've covered — perfect for completionists.

New Trail Colors and Badges Each Lap

Turn around at the goal and start a new lap — the trail color and finishing badge change each time, keeping every round feeling fresh.

Choose Your Favorite Companion

Pick the companion who guides your way from a cast of characters — Yajiru, Yanyaru, Yawani, Yaunil, and more — and customize your travel buddy to your taste.
