A map of Japan made by people who went there

Jipangu gathers on one map the places that bloggers and YouTubers have visited, photographed and written about. No anonymous reviews, no rankings: every pin leads to a real article or a real video.

8 creators, 228 articles and videos

How it works

Places picked on the ground. Creators add the spots they wrote about themselves: temples, villages, onsen, restaurants, inns.

The story stays with its author. Jipangu shows a summary and sends you to read the article or watch the video on the creator's own site.

Your likes become your map. Heart the places you fancy, then open them in Ikuzo to plan your trip.
