About this app

This is a compass with clear Japanese labels that makes it easy to understand directions.
It displays not only the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) but also 16 compass points based on the device's orientation.

This compass app appears in Episode 4 of “Tokyo Tarareba Girls” broadcast on Nippon TV.
It is also featured in a theatrical film. Please check the in-app link for details.

It can also be used as a compass for checking the direction to face when eating Ehomaki during Setsubun.
It displays directions like “North-Northwest,” “East-Northeast,” “South-Southeast,” and “West-Southwest” in Japanese.

In 2026, Setsubun falls on February 3, and the lucky direction is South-Southeast.
This app serves as a convenient Ehomaki compass for Setsubun.

We’ve resolved an issue where the app could be installed on devices without magnetic sensors.
This should eliminate cases where the compass wouldn’t move.
We’ve also added a feature that detects causes of compass deviation and suggests solutions.

Features like hiding banner ads and offline use in the mountains or by the sea have been added.
Please give it a try.
