Map Customization:

The map file is generated with Google Map API, with map label customization. It hides the city and prefecture text and shows the train station and attraction. This aims to improve geography knowledge.

Map label customization made with https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/, customized JSON file included. You can either build on current customization with import gmap_style.json on the website or build customization from scratch.
