"Nippon Castle Tour" is a stamp rally (location-based game) that uses GPS location information to tour 3,000 castles that actually existed throughout Japan, mainly during the Sengoku period, including the 100 Famous Castles of Japan and the 100 Continued Famous Castles of Japan. It's an app that everyone can enjoy, from castle, history, and Sengoku period enthusiasts to beginners.
■Castle Stamp Rally (Location-Based Game)
Simply press the "Castle Attack" button near a castle. It's an easy-to-use stamp rally. Progress through the stamp rally while checking the locations of 3,000 castles nationwide on a map. You can send location information to your car navigation app, or use Denso's "NaviCon" app to send castle locations to your car navigation system.
■Castle Data, Photos, and Reviews
You can view basic data, photos, and reviews for 3,000 castles throughout Japan. With over 50,000 reviews and over 400,000 castle photos, it's a massive collection. You can use it as a reference when actually visiting castles, or simply browse information and photos in your free time to find a castle you want to visit. Enjoy it for a variety of purposes.
■Sengoku Warlord Collection
Collect local Sengoku warlords along with castles. Collect over 1,000 Sengoku warlords from across Japan, including Oda Nobunaga, Date Masamune, and Sanada Nobushige (Yukimura).
■Castle Lord Competition
Even for castles near your home or workplace that you've already conquered, register your location multiple times and become the number one ranked player to earn the title of "Castle Lord" of that castle. Enjoyable even for those who don't have many opportunities to travel or go on business trips.
In addition, there are plenty of free features that go beyond a simple stamp rally (location-based game), offering long-lasting enjoyment. These include "Castle Construction," where you can create your own castle by choosing your favorite layout, keep, and other buildings; "History Quiz," where you can challenge yourself daily with questions about the Sengoku period and castles; and "Nickname/Official Rank Function."
