Travel Logging App 'Keikenchi' Releases New 'Total Keikenchi Map'. Record All 1,898 Municipalities Nationwide on a Single Map, Max Score Reaches 9,490 Points

Qdan Inc. (Headquarters: Musashino City, Tokyo) released an update on Saturday, May 16, 2026, adding a new map, 'Total Keikenchi Map', to its travel log and journal app 'Keikenchi'. With the addition of this feature, it is now possible to record all 1,898 municipalities across Japan on a single map of Japan, expanding the maximum score to 9,490 points. The maps now total 49 types, including the nationwide version and 47 municipal versions, plus the 'Total Keikenchi Map', evolving the app into a travel log that allows users to visualize their travels more deeply and broadly.

■ About the 'Keikenchi' App
Keikenchi® is a travel journal and logging service that evaluates experiences in all 47 prefectures of Japan across 6 levels, creating a color-coded 'Keikenchi Map' of Japan and recording the total score. It was announced as a web service in 2005 and made into an app in 2018.
It provides a unique experience that not only lets users look back on memories of past trips but also serves as an inspiration for future travel plans—by visualizing and scoring visit experiences, it makes users want to share their personalized travel logs on social media. On X and Instagram, many users post their Keikenchi maps, and the number of users is expanding, mainly through word of mouth. The number of users, which was about 120,000 monthly in September 2024, grew to about 200,000 monthly (about 1.7 times) by March 2026.

■ Background of the Update: 'Enjoy the Whole Country on One Map'
In a major update in April 2026, the municipal maps were expanded to all 47 prefectures, allowing users to record about 1,900 municipalities nationwide on a municipal basis. This made it possible to provide a deeper way to enjoy travel, responding to voices such as 'I want to paint all local municipalities' and 'I want to completely conquer the 23 wards of Tokyo'.
On the other hand, new voices were received from users.
'I want to see municipalities nationwide grouped together on a single map across prefectures.' 'I want to challenge traversing all municipalities in Japan.' 'Instead of switching between 47 maps, I want to view the total volume of my travels on a single map of Japan.'
The 'Total Keikenchi Map' added in this update is a feature that responds to these voices. All 1,898 municipalities in Japan can now be recorded and displayed collectively on a single map of Japan, extending the maximum score to 9,490 points (1,898 municipalities × max 5 points). Compared to the world where 235 points were the upper limit on the 47-prefecture map, a score space approximately 40 times larger unfolds.

■ Points of the Update
[1] Addition of the new 'Total Keikenchi Map' (Expanded from 48 to 49 maps)
In addition to the nationwide (47 prefectures) map and the 47 municipal maps, a new 'Total Keikenchi Map' has been added, consolidating all 1,898 municipalities in Japan into a single map. There is a total of 49 map types, which can be freely switched and used. It provides a new experience of painting in while getting a bird's-eye view of municipal-level records, which were previously divided by prefecture, on a single map of Japan. Villages in Hokkaido, the 23 wards of Tokyo, and remote islands in Okinawa are all on one map.

[2] Maximum score from 235 points to 9,490 points — A new milestone
The maximum value of the nationwide map was 47 × 5 = 235 points, but the maximum value of the Total Keikenchi Map is 1,898 municipalities × 5 = 9,490 points. The score ceiling has been instantly expanded by about 40 times, creating a new metric for measuring travel progress. It provides a new lifelong goal: 'Traversing all municipalities in Japan', beyond just 'Traveling around Japan'.

[3] Supports custom scores — Create your own original comprehensive score
The custom score feature implemented in the April update can also be used with the Total Keikenchi Map. You can freely change the names and points of each level to visualize your own comprehensive score on a national scale tailored to your travel themes, such as 'Hot Spring Hopping', 'Pilgrimage to Sacred Sites', 'Conquering Local Gourmet Food', or 'Visiting 100 Famous Castles'.
