Japan in transit: konbini lunches, IC cards, and the art of the quiet train
Five things that make your first 48 hours in Tokyo feel like your fifth trip.
Read the tip →Drop a pin on any home base — your apartment, a hotel, a place you're scouting — and instantly see what's around it. Proxima keeps every result locked to the address that actually matters to you, and quietly tells you when something changes.
You look up one thing, the map flies off, and you lose the place you actually care about. Proxima stays locked to an address you set — so everything nearby is measured from the spot that matters, and the discovery comes to you.
Set any address and the anchor never moves. Every result orbits that one spot — search feels like “near me,” not “near where the map thinks I am.”
Exact distance and walk time on every place — see which is genuinely closer at a glance, no squinting at the map to guess.
Set a Watch on an area and category. Proxima checks quietly and pings you when a new place opens or a rating shifts. The thing other maps can’t do.
Browse curated categories — restaurants, cafés, parks, gyms, supermarkets, pharmacies and more — or type a custom search like “ramen” or “vinyl records.”
One tap re-skews results for Now, Tonight, or the Weekend. People plan in moments, not in star ratings.
Your home base, saves, and watches live on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no ads. A quiet tool — not a data company.
Search any address — where you live, a hotel you’re eyeing, a place you’re scouting — and lock it in.
Choose what you care about and how far to look. Proxima maps it all around your one anchor.
Save the good ones, then add a Watch so Proxima tells you when the area changes — no checking required.
Save places, set watches, keep a daily streak — and climb six explorer ranks from Newcomer to Atlas. Unlock badges, chase weekly challenges, and watch your map of the city fill in.
No accounts. No sign-ins. No ads. No analytics. Almost everything stays on your device — the only data that ever leaves is what’s needed to fetch nearby places and weather.
Everything core is free. Proxima Pro lifts the limits for power explorers.
