About Us
Why We Created Pglemaps
To be honest, we created it because we were tired of planning our own trips to Japan.
Opening Google Maps, browsing food blogs, installing a separate subway app, re-checking your hotel location... Have you ever had over 20 tabs open before you even start your trip?
Pglemaps was born from that frustration. It's a service that plans your route around your accommodation, grouping restaurants and attractions by day. We wanted to turn complex Japan travel into a trip where you can "just follow along."
What We Do
Pglemaps is a smart travel planner for those preparing for a trip to Japan.
When you enter your accommodation location, our AI automatically groups nearby restaurants, cafes, and attractions to create an optimal daily itinerary. We cover all of Japan, from Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto to Hokkaido and Okinawa.
We don't just show you a map; we calculate "where to start and end your day to walk the least and see the most."
We Also Create Travel Guides
For those who want to enjoy their Japan trip more deeply, we also run a travel guide. It's not just a list of attractions or restaurants. It's about the culture, common knowledge, and stories you'll actually encounter in Japan—things that make the experience 10 times more interesting.
Why the 'hanko' stamp culture still exists, the secret behind the window seats in Japanese convenience stores, the architectural philosophy behind capsule hotels. Scenes you might have passed by on your travels will start to look completely different.
