We love maps. They’re just so cool.

After all, isn’t it fun to be able to see the world represented in 2-D with neat looking symbols?
But… is it still fun when those symbols are part of a language you don’t understand, with the direct result that you can’t figure out where on earth the nearest restaurant/purveyor of alcohol is?
In moments such as these, when the important things in life are denied you, purely because of your ignorance of kanji, turn to us. We can help.

UPDATED SEP 07: with Google maps allowing you to roll your own these days, we’ve moved away from the Mapbuilder version for some of the maps. As ever, if you’d like to contribute some mapping skillz, get in touch via the contact form here.
