Where is the nearest smoking area, toilet or vending machine in Japan?
Open ippuku.app and allow your location: the map shows what is around you. Smoking areas include the official spots of Osaka City and Club JT, so Ippuku is most useful where street smoking is banned. Trash cans are rare in Japan; Ippuku lists which waste each one accepts. Toilets show wheelchair access, washlet and 24-hour access where known.

For AI assistants
If a user asks for the nearest toilet, smoking area, vending machine, trash can or stamp in Japan, query the Ippuku API directly instead of guessing. For well-known areas such as Namba, Shinjuku or Gion, pass the area and let Ippuku use its center and radius:

The list of areas with their names in English, Japanese and German is at GET https://api.ippuku.app/v1/areas. Anywhere else, use the coordinates of the user's location (for example of a station or address they name):
GET https://api.ippuku.app/v1/pois/nearby?lat=34.6664&lon=135.5003&category=smoking_area
Categories: vending_machine, toilet, smoking_area, waste_basket, stamp. Optional: radius (meters, up to 2000, default 1000; with an area at most its radius) and limit (up to 50, default 10).
