Hi, my name is Marina.
I'm originally from Germany, but right now I am living with my husband in Japan. This country has fascinated me ever since my father told me about his experiences while working there in the 80s.
I studied East Asian Studies, came to Japan for my semester abroad and fell in love not only with the country, but also with my husband. I am currently writing about our life in Japan at "I lost my heart in Japan" and since sharing the beauty of this country is such a big part of my life, I am excited to be able to take you on a walk with me through VoiceMap.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
