Places I've Been Map
The achievement log version of your bucket list.
Turn every trip, hike, meal, and outing into pins on your own map of places visited — a private travel log that also works as a bucket list map. No account, no sign-up, and your data never leaves your device.
No account, no sign-up
Open the page and start recording — nothing to create, nothing to remember.
Your data never leaves your device
Everything is stored locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
Completely private
This isn't a social network. Nothing you record is ever public or shared.
Free
Every feature, including share-image generation, is free to use.
Record life experiences — travel, fishing, dining, dog trips, hot springs, castles, outings with friends, family memories and more — with photos and locations.

This service is provided for personal recording purposes. All data is stored solely on your device and is never sent to external servers. The operator accepts no responsibility for any damages arising from use of this service. Content may be changed or discontinued without notice.
Aim for one photo per location per day. If your photo has no GPS data, you can tap the map to set the location.
Save all records to a single file. Do this occasionally in case of device changes or browser data clearing. You can also share this file with your children or family as a keepsake album to pass down.
Create a share image：Available once you add a record
No records yet. Add a photo to save your first memory.

You can start with a single photo. No sign-up, no cost, and every record stays on your own device.
Choose one photo with “Select photo” or “Take photo”. Use “Add multiple photos” to register several in a row. Photos are resized on your device to a JPEG with a 1600px long edge and are never uploaded anywhere.
If the photo carries Exif location data, the place and date are filled in automatically. If not, choose “Pick a place on the map”, “Record the prefecture only”, or “Save without location”. When you would rather not pin down your home exactly, switch the accuracy to “Approximate area”.
Pick from 12 categories such as travel, fishing, dining, dog trips, hot springs and castles, then add a date, a note and a place name. “Custom 1–3” can be renamed freely, so you can build your own categories for camping, hiking and anything else.
Saved experiences appear both as map pins and in the list. Switch the list between “Timeline” and “By area”, or open “View memories” to play your photos back like a slideshow.
“Create a share image” builds two kinds of 1200×630 images: the Japan prefecture map and the stats card. They contain only your record counts and the coloured prefectures — never photos, notes or place names. Save one and post it to X.
Your data exists only on this device. Use “Save backup” to write a JSON file, and “Restore backup” to bring everything back when you change phones or browsers.
The questions we hear most often from people getting started.
Only inside your browser on this device (IndexedDB). Your photos, notes and locations are never sent to our servers and are never shown to anyone else.
Neither. There is no sign-up and no charge — just start using it.
It does not carry over, and clearing your browsing data will erase it. Use “Save backup” to export a file, then load it with “Restore backup” on the same page on your new device.
Tap the map to set the place, or record just the prefecture. If you would rather not keep any location, choose “Save without location”.
No. The image shows only your record counts, the per-category counts and the coloured prefectures. Photos, notes, place names and coordinates are never included, and the image is generated entirely inside your browser.
Use “Save image” to download the PNG, then attach it in the compose window opened by “Share on X”. On a smartphone, “Share with image” hands the picture straight to your share sheet.
Yes. The map covers the whole world and the interface is available in 7 languages. The prefecture map appears only when you have records in Japan; otherwise you can use the stats card.
The limit depends on the free space on your device. Photos are compressed automatically so each record stays small, but saving will fail once storage runs out — so back up often.
