About Japan Spotbook: Travel Log
Save the places you want to go on a map, and keep a record when you visit. That's all this app does. ■ Save places to your map Add a spot in any of four ways: ・Search by shop or place name ・Long-press a point on the map ・Paste a Google Maps share link ・Pick a photo that has location data Every way leads to the same simple form. Only the name is required — category, priority, and notes can be changed later. ■ One tap when you visit Tap a pin and press "Check In." Notes, rating, cost, companions, and photos can be added then or later. Nothing is required, because the hassle of typing is what usually stops people from keeping records. ■ Every visit keeps its own record Your second visit doesn't overwrite the first. Notes from last autumn and from last week sit side by side — perfect for favorite cafés and hot springs you keep going back to. ■ Fill in Japan's 47 prefectures The Prefecture Map in the Records tab colors in each prefecture you've visited, getting darker the more often you go. Unvisited prefectures stay empty, so it's easy to pick your next destination. ■ Take your data anywhere Export to CSV and GeoJSON, free. Your records are never held hostage if you want to switch apps. ■ Keep your records when you change phones Your records sync across your devices through your own iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple Account on a new iPhone and pick up where you left off. ■ No ads, no purchases, no account The developer doesn't collect your data. Your records are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud. Location is used only to show where you are on the map. Without it, you can still add spots, check in, see the Prefecture Map, and export. Note: addresses are shown in Japanese, as returned for places in Japan.
What’s new
Version 1.6 · Updated October 14, 2026
• After you check in, the app now tells you which visit was recorded, with the date and time. • The Prefecture Map in the Records tab is now a progress card that shows how many prefectures are left. • Fixed cases where saving could fail while the app still looked like it had succeeded — when adding a spot, deleting, or importing photos. • Fixed a case where a pasted amount in the cost field could turn into a different number.
