KATARIBE
Hear the history
around you
KATARIBE finds the castles, shrines and historic sites near you, and its AI guide Kunato narrates them aloud in English. Over 10,000 places across Japan.
Everything historic,
pinned around you
Temples, shrines, castle ruins and battlefields appear as pins by category. Move to a new town, tap "Search this area", and the local history loads in seconds.
It starts talking
as you walk
Switch on guide mode and set off. Every time you pass a historic site, Kunato picks up the story like a tour guide walking beside you — no tapping, no stopping.
"The thousand gates ahead of you were each donated by a business, in thanks for a prayer that worked."
Go deeper,
right where you stand
An AI commentary pulls out what actually matters about the place. Have it read aloud, or ask a follow-up question and get an answer on the spot.
Far beyond
the guidebooks
All 200 castles of Japan's two Famous Castles lists, every World Heritage site in the country, and the local ruins and shrines that most map apps will not even name — over 10,000 places in all. Wherever you are, there is history within walking distance.
Every place you visit is stamped in your book, with quizzes and achievements along the way.
