> Tell me about VisitHero
VisitHero puts smoking areas, no-smoking zones, toilets, lockers, Wi-Fi, evacuation sites and local rules on one map that visitors can understand on the spot.
FIELD COMPASS
The information you need when you’re lost, shown together.
Instead of showing every pin, VisitHero shows where you are, how far you can walk, the rules for that place and how the information was checked — so you can choose your next step with confidence.
3–10 min walk
Not just what is closest on paper — places you can really walk to.
Rules here
Smoking, photos, rubbish, onsen and street manners, so you don’t break a rule without knowing.
How it was checked
Local-government data, on-site checks and user reports are kept separate, so you can see what each entry is based on.
PLACE SHARING / 6 LANGUAGES
A useful place. In your companion’s language.
Share a toilet, locker or other useful stop through place pages in Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese, without sending your own current location. Check sources, verification status and posted signs as well.
FIELD MOMENTS
Not just for searching. For deciding what to do next.
Getting stuck in a Japanese town isn’t only about language. It’s the small moments: where to go, what is allowed, who can help.

For local governments and tourism businesses.
Smoking where it isn’t allowed, littering, crowded information counters and missing disaster information are problems for the area too. VisitHero can be a multilingual tool that lightens that load.
- Telling visitors the local rules
