法The method

From a video to a pin on the map.

No sponsored ranking, no algorithm: only places actually shown on video, linked back to their source.

一
A creator films
A YouTube channel travels through Japan and mentions a ramen shop, an alley, a temple.
二
Japam pins it
The place is extracted with its source: the channel, the exact timestamp and the quote.
三
You go
Filter the map, save favourites, start directions — the video stays one tap away.

印
Places sourced from creators
Every spot comes from one specific YouTube video, with the creator's exact quote and the timestamp where they mention it.
印
Interactive map
Every place we've found is placed on a map, filterable by neighbourhood so you can build a realistic route.
印
Category filters
Ramen, street food, izakaya, cafe, nature, culture, shopping: narrow the map down to whatever you're chasing right now.
印
Detailed place cards
A video clip, the creator's quote, and a direct link back to the source — every card keeps its original context.
印
Favourites and itinerary
Save the places you care about and build up your route as you plan each day of the trip.
印
No automated recommendations
No algorithmic ranking and no hidden sponsored content — just places that were genuinely shown on camera.
