Have you ever thought about how this place used to look in the past? Just like how your parents' old neighborhood or the empty lot where you used to play now has modern buildings on it? Now you can take a stroll down memory lane or see how times have changed by looking at maps from the past to present. It's great for a casual walk, exploring the city, or simply getting lost in your thoughts.

In addition to the standard Google Maps and Geospatial Information Authority of Japan maps, we also have some fascinating rapid survey maps that transport you back to the Edo period. Additionally, we offer a variety of old maps from different time periods as well as aerial photographs. And the best part? This isn't just limited to Tokyo, but also includes other urban areas like Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka. The interface is extremely user-friendly with no complicated features. You can easily switch between layers and adjust transparency to suit your preferences. Furthermore, all annotations on the base map are displayed on the old maps as well, allowing you to see how Tokyo Tower used to dominate the skyline!

By pressing and holding the compass, you can switch to tracking mode, also known as walking mode. This feature automatically tracks your location and direction, making it like having a convenient walking app readily available.
