Beyond specs. The air of a place.
roomap starts with a map, not a checklist. The feel of a neighborhood — its rhythm, its air — is what conditions and specs alone cannot convey. We cherish what technology, by itself, cannot reach.
STORY
I once searched for an apartment in a place I'd never been.
"Which station should I commute from?" "What's my budget and floor plan?" — these are the typical questions. But making decisions about an unfamiliar area based on conditions alone is hard. You learn a lot by visiting in person, but I kept thinking: wouldn't it be better if you could see the feel of a neighborhood before you even start searching online?
PRODUCT 01
When heading somewhere new, people open a map first.
Most people pull up Google Maps when navigating to a place they don't know. So we made Google Maps the primary interface. Now you can see the distance from the station, nearby shops and parks, and the overall vibe of a neighborhood — all alongside the property listings. Instead of filtering by conditions, roomap lets you start from "I want to live around here."

Some things technology alone cannot reach.
People who moved to Shonan. People who left corporate life to live on their own terms. Shonan diary interviews them — capturing the shifts in their lives and the warmth of the neighborhoods they chose. "How does it feel to live here?" "What do you love about it?" "Where are you headed next?" There's something in human words that specs and conditions simply can't convey.

VISION
Beyond specs. Life begins.
We want to build services that are powerful under the hood — and warm to the touch. How we weave together technology and the things technology alone cannot reach is something we're still figuring out. But we believe that balance is exactly what it means to be a bridge between technology and lifestyle.
