About Recoria - Japan Travel Journal
Recoria is a travel journal for Japan. Post photos from a trip and the prefectures you visited are colored in on a map of Japan. The prefecture is detected automatically from your photo's location data, and you earn badges as you complete regions and the whole country. Keep every trip to Japan on one map. Log trips from years ago, see which prefectures are still blank, and save the places you want to visit next. ■ KEY FEATURES • Trip posts Combine up to 10 photos and up to 500 characters into one post for each trip or memory. Choose the month and year of the trip, so you can log journeys from years ago. • Automatic prefecture tagging If your photos include location data, Recoria reads it and tags the prefecture automatically. You can also choose prefectures by hand, and one post can cover several prefectures. • Color-in map of Japan Every post colors in the prefectures you visited. Aim for all 47, or collect regional badges such as Kanto or Kyushu. The blank prefectures make it easy to pick your next destination. • Share your map as an image Turn your colored-in map into a single image and share it on social media. • Timeline by travel style Filter the timeline by Solo, Couple, Family or Friends, and switch between For you and Latest. • Likes, comments, Want to go lists and follows React to posts, save places to your Want to go lists, organize bookmarks into folders, and follow travelers you like. • Private account Make your account private so that only followers you approve can see your posts, map and badges. • Browse as a guest See the timeline, posts and other travelers' maps before you sign up.
