NAVITIME Japan Co., Ltd., a leading navigation app developer, has introduced a major update to its Japan Travel by NAVITIME app, adding new safety features to assist international tourists. Launched on March 26, 2025, these upgrades aim to help foreign visitors navigate natural disasters in Japan more effectively.
Japan has experienced an increase in earthquakes, heavy rainfall, and typhoons in recent years. While these events pose challenges for all residents, foreign tourists often face additional difficulties, such as language barriers and limited access to emergency information.
The Japan Travel by NAVITIME app already provides a comprehensive platform for trip planning, reservations, and transportation in 13 languages. With these new safety features, critical emergency updates are now more accessible and easier to understand, ensuring a safer and more informed travel experience for international visitors.
