Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

◎Won for audience award at WIT JAPAN & North Asia 2016 ◎Featured on one of the biggest tech-media in Japan Pokke -［Brings Japanese Stories Alive］ Pokke is an audio walking tours app that will guide you through historic spots, such as shrines, temples, and gardens in Japan. Pokke will take you through the “must-see spots” upon traveling in Japan, making your journey an unforgettable experience. The audio tours are developed by the local professionals who know every corner's historical background. One of the famous sightseeing spots in Japan is a temple located in Asakusa called "Sensoji". The beautiful wooden architecture covered in red-orangish color is highly photogenic and the unique atmosphere gives you the sense of the good old days in Japan. But that’s not all. It has history and many stories behind to it. Did you know that red-orangish color often used in both temples and shrines has a reason as well? There are many theories behind to why red-orangish color was often used at temples and shrines, but one of the theories is that in ancient Japan, people believed that the color acts as blockage or obstruction to magical powers and evil spirits. Therefore, despite the different religion, the same red-orangish color was frequently used. These stories cannot be seen with your eyes only. City walking and sightseeing is enjoyable itself, but getting to know the places you visit in a foreign country is quite a challenge without a tour guide. But what if you can carry around your own personal tour guide? All you need is just a smartphone and an earphone. Download Pokke app for free and you can enjoy the narrated guide tour of various sightseeing spots as if you are actually being guided by a human tour guide. ◎ How does this app work? 1. Find a spot where you would love to go! 2. Check the location where the audio guide takes place. 3. Just go to the spot with Pokke app and enjoy listening to the hidden stories of Japan. ▽Hidden Stories Enjoy the interesting stories of historic spots in Japan referenced from the local professionals. ▽Audio Walking Tours Each guide consists of 30 mins audio walking tours. ▽Location Each guide includes a map with GPS tracking so users can locate themselves and where the audio guide takes place. ▽Background audio playback Even when the app is in the background, the audio guide will keep playing. You can continue listening while using maps, taking photos, or doing other tasks—making your sightseeing experience even smoother! ▽Beacon In some interactive content, beacons are installed throughout the premises. When users approach specific guide points, audio guidance is automatically played, allowing them to enjoy a new type of immersive attraction! ◎ Published Tours (Examples) 「Akihabara」 Akihabara is a well-known eccentric district in the world where unique otaku culture such as anime, manga, or maid cafes has developed.(Tokyo, Japan) 「Best of Kyoto」 Kyoto was Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868.
