About this app

"I'm going to that station next time, but I wonder what places are nearby?" "I always use that station, but I want more in-depth information!" Simply call up the station you want to visit and check information on sightseeing, gourmet food, shopping, transportation, and more, all in one app. You can add the station you discover to your favorites in "My Notes." Whether it's a familiar station or a new one, you're sure to find something exciting and "serendipity" (*). *Serendipity: A wonderful coincidence or unexpected discovery.

Plus, the "Station Check-in" feature lets you record your station visits, and the "Ekimeshi Post" feature lets you record nearby gourmet food with a single photo, making your trips to stations across the country even more enjoyable. Plus, by using the "Station and Town Attractions" feature, you can share your favorite spots and scenery with everyone who will be visiting the station.

We encourage you to share your stories about your local station or the stations you visit!
