About this app

【Let's interact with Japanese people】
Shimagurashi is a messaging app made in Japan.
It is used by so many Japanese people.
This app is especially recommended for those interested in Japan.



【English and Japanese automatic translation function】
Because there is an automatic translation function, you can enjoy message exchange even if you do not understand Japanese.



【Message sent from your own island】
Fill your thoughts with your letter in a bottle and let it flow into the sea!
The message you sent may shake the mind of someone somewhere.



【Let's relax in the world of Shimagashi】
Please enjoy the world view and community in the app.
Since logins like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are unnecessary anonymous services, you will never see someone you know.
All you need to get started is the name of your island.



【Let's make the island lively】
You can get Precious Shells by exchanging messages. If you collect it, you will get various things as a reward, and the island will gradually become lively.



【Please enjoy the gentle view of the world】
In the world of Shimagurashi, the same time as reality flows.
A peaceful morning, noon, but a gentle sunset, a calm time of night, and BGM combined with it also create a gentle space.
Depending on the season, the scenery of the island may change slightly.



【Let's enjoy fashion with avatar】
There is an avatar called ""Shimanoko"" on your island.
Shimanoko can be changed with various items.
Please give me your own Shimanoko cute.

◯◯◯ Notes ◯◯◯

Shimagurashi is an application that offers the pleasure of talking with someone who does not know, based on the concept of correspondence and bottle mail, and is not an application for the purpose of dating.

Please do not send messages that may be offensive to others, or exchange personal information such as IDs of SNS and communication services and phone numbers.

Any act that would destroy the worldview is prohibited. Please check the terms and conditions for details.

When exchanging messages, treat each other with compassion. If you give kindness to the other party, the other person will surely reply to you.

Please use the block / report function if you find a unpleasant person
. It is safe because the opponent who once blocked will not be displayed after that.

Please enjoy the world of splendor calmly.

Great app! Took a social media detox and ran across this app a few months later. Gave it a shot. Didn't regret the decision, and it's helped me boost my mental health. More so, when I found the island to be very peaceful in terms of scenery and BKG effects that you can turn on/off. Love that different people can reach out to you with your "message in a bottle" whether through bottles of flowers, personal messages, or hearts. It's a simple app, and simplicity can do wonders!

This app does pretty well. It takes sometime to understand how the structure works. It is based for you to pay for some things. But. For speaking to others you must wait on your daily bonus to collect via ads. Once you collect enough you can speak to many people. But it needs improvements to push it away from needing to wait so long. I am glad I do not see any scammers here. This is the first app in years like that. For that reason alone. I give it 4 stars. Thank you app developer(s).

This app is very fun, easy to use and navigate around. The concept is so adorable, you will like to be here sending messages in a bottle often, to meet amazing people and creating different styles for your Avatar and Island. I have met so many people and already made good friends very easily. It's the most creative app to find penpals and exchange about cultures, personal likes and hobbies. I simply love this app, you'll end up having a great time everyday and magnificent conversations.
