Questions about Japan
How many playgrounds are there in Japan?
KidMap maps about 17,000 playgrounds in Japan. That figure comes from the source datasets, so treat it as approximate. The city pages below carry exact counts inside each city boundary: 5,341 playgrounds across 15 cities.
Which cities in Japan does KidMap cover?
Every city in Japan is on the map. 15 of them have a page here: Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Nara, Osaka, Sapporo, Hamamatsu, Kyoto and more. A city gets its own page once at least 60 playgrounds are mapped inside its boundary.
Is the data complete?
No, and no playground map is. Coverage comes from OpenStreetMap, municipal open data and families using the app, so it is deeper in some cities than in others, and a small playground can be missing. A detail that is not shown means "not recorded", not "not there".
Is KidMap free?
Yes. The map, search, filters, directions, playground details and photos are free. Optional Premium removes ads and adds extra convenience features.
