How to use it

  1. Choose a colour on the right and give it a name, such as “Visited” or “Over 50 million people”.
  2. Click prefectures on the map to colour them. Click again to clear. On a phone, the list view is easier.
  3. Add a title if you like, then download a PNG for slides and documents or an SVG to edit further.
  4. Copy the link to come back later or share your map. Your colours are stored in the link itself, not on our server.

Ideas

  • Mark the prefectures you have visited or want to visit.
  • Show election results, sales areas or where your team works.
  • Group the prefectures by region or time zone for a lesson.
  • Colour by a figure from your own data, using a few clear bands.
