PERFECT FOR YOUR JAPAN ROAD TRIP

Planning a Hokkaido road trip? Driving from Sapporo to Furano, Biei, or Lake Toya is a scenic way to see the island, and most rental car navigation systems there rely on Mapcode for scenic spots that have no simple street address. The same goes for an Okinawa rental car trip, where beaches, the Churaumi Aquarium, and Cape Manzamo are all easier to reach with a Mapcode than with a long Japanese address.

This app is also handy for road trips through Kyushu, Shikoku, and the Japanese Alps, for camping grounds and fishing spots deep in the countryside, and for any destination your car GPS cannot find by name. Enter the address once, get the Mapcode, and type it straight into the car navigation.

PERFECT FOR
- Travelers visiting Japan with a rental car
- Self-drive tourists in Hokkaido and Okinawa
- Business travelers
- Anyone using Japanese GPS navigation

HOW TO USE
1. Enter a Japanese address or landmark name
2. Pick the right place from the candidates
3. Type the Mapcode into your car's navigation unit
