The ranking is based on searches made by "Japan Travel by NAVITIME" app users. There are nine categories showing top 25 spots in each, which can be filtered by nationality or destination (prefecture or region). All spot information are linked to the map and route search, allowing users to simplify their planning process within the app. Ranking data are updated once a month.

You can sort ranking by nationality of a total of 15 countries or areas. They are: Asia, Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, North America, Oceania, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, U.K., U.S., and Others. This allows you to compare the interests among travelers of various regions.

Users can also sort by destinations, with a choice of 13 prefectures or regions:
- Prefecture: Aichi, Fukuoka, Kanagawa Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Tokyo
- Regions: Hokkaido/Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku/Shikoku, and Kyushu/Okinawa

Categories are based on the following:
General; Travel/Tourism; Castles/Ruins/Temples/Shrines; Nature/Gardens; Lodging; Onsen/Public Baths; Gourmet; Ramen; and Shopping/Fashion.

While there are cases where visits to certain sightseeing spots are skewed by information in guidebooks and websites and SNS postings, we hope that this feature will help people learn about the attractions of various regions throughout Japan and discover new spots.
