Skip the back-and-forth with government and registry sites. Check everything in one place, on the map.
No complicated setup. Just type an address and tap a button.
Turn what you found into a PDF report instantly, so it's easy to explain to your customers.
Enter the address or property name you want to check. The map moves there automatically.
Choose a button like "Hazards," "Prices," or "Ask AI." No complicated settings required.
See the results as a map and chart. You can turn it into a PDF report right away.
Zoning, hazards, land prices — information you used to look up separately can now be layered and compared on a single map. You can even split the screen to view two places side by side.

Tap the "Measure" button at the bottom of the screen, choose "Distance", and click points on the map. You see the straight-line distance right away, and when you measure between two points you also get the distance along real roads and a rough walking or driving time — so "How many minutes from the station on foot?" is answered on the spot.
Example (Hakata Station, Hakata Exit → Canal City Hakata): 881.0 m in a straight line, but 1.1 km on foot (about 18 min) and 1.3 km by car (about 4 min) — "How long is the walk from the station?" is answered both as the crow flies and along real streets. (The facility-name callouts in the images were added for explanation.)
Who can use it: straight-line distance — anyone, no sign-in. Road distance and travel time — sign-in required (available on every plan).
Road distance and travel time: reference values based on road-network data / English base map: HERE
Measurements are approximations based on drawing on the map. Road distance and travel time are estimates and vary with actual road conditions and walking speed.
Tap "Measure", then "Distance"
Tap "Measure" at the bottom of the screen to open the toolbar. Choose "Distance" — it turns green.
Click points on the map
Click the first point, then the next, and so on. Right-click or tap "✓ Finish" to end.
Read the result panel
The "Result" panel on the right shows the total distance, the road distance (walk / car), and each segment’s length.
Choose "Measure" → "Area" and click each corner of the plot. The area, the perimeter and every side length appear together, and you can switch units between m², tsubo and ha with one button — so "Roughly how many tsubo is this plot?" is answered right away.
Example (a four-cornered plot near Yoshizuka, Fukuoka): 1,684.97 m² (509.70 tsubo / 0.1685 ha), perimeter 169.1 m, sides 52.2 m, 40.6 m, 38.1 m and 38.2 m.
Who can use it: anyone, no sign-in needed.
English base map: HERE
Measurements are approximations based on drawing on the map and differ from surveyed areas. An official area needs a survey by a licensed land surveyor.
Roadside price maps (rosenka), used to value land for inheritance and gift tax, normally take several clicks on the National Tax Agency site: prefecture → municipality → sheet number. In MAPRISE, just search an address or click the spot on the map and a shortcut to that place’s map appears.
Example (Hakata-ekimae 3-chome, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka): roadside-price area, 2026 edition. The block spans several sheets, so buttons for sheets 09072, 09073, 09078 and 09079 plus the multiplier table are listed.
Who can use it: Starter plan and above. During the beta (through the end of October 2026), the free plan can use it too once signed in.
Links go to the National Tax Agency’s "Property Valuation Standards: roadside price maps and multiplier tables" (base map of the price sheets: ZENRIN CO., LTD.). MAPRISE only points you to the NTA pages; it does not calculate or guarantee roadside prices.
For an actual tax filing, check the latest maps on the NTA site and consult a tax accountant or other specialist.
Search an address (or click the map)
Type an address into "Search address..." at the top left and pick a suggestion. A pin drops on that spot. For roadside price maps, type the block name in Japanese (e.g. 博多駅前3丁目): an English-style address may not pin down the block, and you are then taken to the municipality’s list of sheets.
Tap "Inheritance tax roadside price (NTA)"
The pin’s popup shows "Inheritance tax roadside price (NTA)". Tap it to see the block name, the area type (roadside price or multiplier) and the year.
Pick a sheet number and open it
Buttons for the matching sheet numbers appear. Tap one and the NTA roadside price map (PDF) opens in a new tab.
Clicking the map shows that spot’s "Address", "Generate report", "Inheritance tax roadside price" and "Important matters checklist" together. Under "Display settings" in the account menu (the person icon at the top left), you can switch each of the four on or off. You can also choose here whether split maps move together.
Who can use it: sign-in required (available on every plan).

OFF (items unchecked)
When you want to read layer information quickly
Save the area, zoom level and layers you look at most as your "home view". However far you move or however many layers you switch during your work, the house icon at the top left brings you straight back.
Example (screens below): home view saved as "zoning around Tenjin, Fukuoka" → moved to Kumamoto and turned on flood projections → pressing the house icon showed "Returned to your home view" and brought back Tenjin with zoning.
Who can use it: sign-in required (available on every plan, including Free).
In the examples — zoning: MLIT urban-planning GIS data / flood projections: GSI Hazard Map Portal / English base map: HERE
Press ▾, then "Set as home view"
Set up your usual place, zoom and layers, press the ▾ next to the house icon, and choose "Set current view as home view". "Saved the current view as your home view" confirms it.
Move as far as you like
Move to other areas and switch layers freely during your work — the home view you saved stays as it is.
Press the house to go home
Press the house icon to restore the saved place, zoom and layers in one go. "Returned to your home view" appears at the bottom.
Besides the home view, you can save any combination of area and layers as a named "saved view". Press "Apply" in the list and the place, zoom and layers all switch at once — no more picking layers again for every project or area.
Example (screens below): three views saved — "Kumamoto Sta. - Flood", "Tenjin - Zoning" and "Kokura - Steep slopes". While looking at Kokura, pressing "Apply" on "Kumamoto Sta. - Flood" switched straight to flood projections around Kumamoto Station.
How many you can save: Free 0 / Starter 3 / Pro 20 / Business 100 / Enterprise unlimited (sign-in required). The home view (one) and automatic resume are available on the Free plan too.
In the examples — flood projections and steep slopes: GSI Hazard Map Portal / zoning: MLIT urban-planning GIS data / English base map: HERE
Save with a name
Set up the screen, press "＋ Save current view", type a name you will recognise, and press "Save".
Press "Apply" in the list
Your saved views are listed. Press "Apply" next to the one you want and the place, zoom and layers switch at once (see the screen above).
Every time you move the map or switch layers, the screen is saved automatically. Whether you sign out, close the tab or browser, shut down your computer, or the browser crashes, the map opens with the same place, zoom and layers the next time you sign in. There is no save button to remember.
Example (screens below): tsunami projections around Nagasaki Station at zoom 14, then the whole browser was closed. On reopening, the signed-out map showed the default view around Fukuoka City; after signing in, it returned to Nagasaki Station, tsunami projections, zoom 14.
Who can use it: sign-in required (available on every plan, including Free).
In the examples — tsunami projections: GSI Hazard Map Portal / English base map: HERE
Work as usual
No saving needed — every move and layer change is saved for you.
Close or sign out — no problem
Reopen the browser or computer and, before you sign in, the map shows the default view.
Sign in and you are back
After signing in, the map opens with the same place, zoom and layers as before.

Ask something like "Is this area safe from disasters?" and AI checks the data and answers in plain language, with a chart. Questions such as "How much sun does this site get at the winter solstice?" get a numerical answer. You can also ask the AI how to move the map or use a feature, so there is much less to learn up front.

Approximate data such as National Land Numerical Information is reference only and cannot serve as the basis of a statutory disclosure (confirm with the competent authorities). A checklist also shows, as ○ / × / △, whether each of the 64 laws checked in disclosure work applies (Starter and above).
