Use Discover

What this helps you do

• How to browse curated content in the iOS app.
• Discover is the app's starting point for inspiration. It brings together places, goshuin, articles, city guides, events, routes, and other sections that help you decide what to explore next.

Before you start

• Use Discover when you want inspiration, Search when you know the name or topic, and city or deity pages when you want cultural context.
• If you are planning a real visit, keep map and place-detail context close so distance, access, and opening information stay visible.

Steps

1. Scroll through sections and carousels.
2. Open cards that match your current intent, such as a place, article, event, route, or goshuin.
3. Use list or grid views when you want more complete browsing.
4. Save or open items you want to revisit.

Tips

• Start broad, then use search, filters, or map context when the result set is too large.
• Save useful items before switching tabs.
• Use official sources when a visit depends on a specific date, time, event, or availability.

Troubleshooting

• If search misses a place, try Japanese, English, romaji, or a nearby city name.
• If discovery results feel unrelated, narrow by location or open the map for geographic context.
• If an article or cultural page looks outdated, use the related place or source context when reporting it.

Privacy, accuracy, or availability notes

• Search and discovery results are curated planning aids and may miss alternate names or newly added places.
• Location context can improve nearby recommendations, but you control whether the app can use your location.
• Confirm hours, events, access, and goshuin availability before making travel plans.
