The Safest & Convenient MAPCODE

MAPCODE is a 9-12 digit number used in rental car GPS in Japan instead of an address. All major rental companies support it. With 3m accuracy, it guides you precisely— even to nameless spots—making it the best tool for road trips in Japan.

Easy Input

Japanese place names and addresses can be complex, making GPS input difficult. With MAPCODE, you can simply enter numbers for easy navigation.

Direct navigation to parking lots

While GPS allows input via phone numbers, it can sometimes lead to trouble:

"We were directed inside a zoo instead of the parking and spent 10 min searching for parking."

"We aimed for a scenic viewpoint in a national park but ended up at the management office instead."

If you spend 5 min searching for parking at each stop, you could waste 3 hours in a week's trip. Drive Japan's MAPCODE guide you straight to the best parking, saving time and hassle.

Hidden Gems & Scenic Roads

MAPCODE lets you navigate to unnamed spots and places missing from Google Maps. Drive Japan guides you seamlessly to hidden gems and scenic roads.

More Reliable Than GPS Apps

While GPS apps like Google Maps and Waze are convenient, they can be unreliable for road trips in Japan:

• Navigation may stop in rural areas with no signal
• High battery consumption requires frequent charging
• Searching for other locations during a stop requires resetting navigation

With MAPCODE, you can rely on your rental car's GPS, avoiding signal loss, battery drain, and inaccurate routes for a stress-free drive.
