Edo Journey - walk meter 1.9.1

This application offers a unique experience by allowing users to traverse virtually through the fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and the sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido (Nakasendo) during the Edo period in Japan. By tracking your walking and running distances through the Health App (HealthKit), you can engage with historical locations that hold cultural significance.

Users can collect various items within the app, such as Ukiyo-e artworks, literature, and regional specialties relevant to the Edo period, adding an educational aspect to your fitness routine.

During the Edo period, walking was the primary mode of transportation for most people. Remarkably, it took only thirteen days to journey from Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto, reflecting the endurance required at that time. This app encourages you to explore these historical routes at your own pace, promoting both physical activity and health.

We hope this app enhances your walking and running habits while contributing positively to your overall well-being.
