DOKORI, Redesigned.

Since its launch in 2022 and a previous update in February 2024, DOKORI has undergone a major redesign.

While the core functionality of searching and browsing terrain information remains, this update introduces many new features — most notably online map purchasing — along with a completely refreshed design. Here's what's new.

1. Online Map Store

The biggest new feature is the ability to purchase and download orienteering maps online.

Previously, getting an O-Map typically involved attending a competition or arranging purchases via email and bank transfer. On the new DOKORI, you can browse, purchase, and instantly download maps directly on the site.

For Map Buyers

• Purchase blank maps, course maps, OCAD data, and more in various formats
• Pay securely by credit card and download immediately after purchase
• From a terrain's detail page, see all available maps for that terrain at a glance

For Map Creators

• Create a creator account on DOKORI and register your maps for sale
• Open to everyone — from individual mapmakers to clubs and organizations
• Track sales on your creator dashboard and request payouts

We hope this makes it easier for everyone to share and discover orienteering maps.

2. Design Refresh & Mobile Experience

The entire site has been redesigned. The homepage hero section now features the tagline "Your next terrain is waiting to be found" alongside stats — 514+ terrains, 27+ courses, and 41+ prefectures — plus clear category navigation to terrains, maps, and events.

The biggest improvement is the mobile experience. Previously, the mobile layout was essentially a scaled-down version of the desktop design. This time, we designed the mobile layout from scratch — terrain search, terrain details, product pages, and event listings are all optimized for comfortable use on your phone.

3. Enhanced Terrain Detail Pages

Terrain detail pages have received a major upgrade. They now follow a three-phase structure — Inspire → Guide to Action → Detailed Data — designed to match the natural flow of user interest.

• O-Map / GSI Map tab switching — Tap the map to view it full-screen
• Recommended Maps section — Purchase maps for the terrain directly
• Nearby Popular Spots — Tourist attractions, restaurants, hot springs, and accommodation shown automatically. Easily see where to visit alongside your training
• Usage, contact & venue info — Terrain rules, contact details, and venue amenities at a glance

4. Map-Based Terrain Search

The terrain search page now features a new map view mode. All terrains across Japan are plotted on an interactive map, letting you intuitively find terrains by tapping on areas that interest you.

• List and map view toggle — Switch between list and map view with one tap
• Search from current location — Find terrains near you using your device's location
• Filters for map type, scale, contour interval, and more are also available

5. Punch — Record Your Journey

In orienteering, runners punch at each checkpoint to prove they were there — it's the ritual at the heart of every course. On the new DOKORI, we've brought this ritual into the digital world.

Terrains you've visited, maps you've collected, events you've joined — punch each one and build your personal orienteering history. Your profile page shows all the terrains you've punched at a glance.

6. More New Features & Improvements

Organization (Club) Pages

A new section for browsing orienteering clubs, prefectural associations, and other organizations. Each organization page shows the terrains they manage, maps they sell, and events they host — all in one place. We're building a foundation where organizational communities can grow. "Looking for a club? Start here."

Improved Registration

Registering terrains, events, and map products is now more intuitive. Key improvements include:

• Server-side draft saving — Your work is saved to the server, safe from browser crashes
• Image uploads — Upload terrain photos and O-Map images directly
• Draw outlines on the map — Draw terrain boundaries directly on a Leaflet map
• AI Translation — Automatically translate Japanese entries into English

For details, see the Terrain Registration Manual.

Favorites

Save terrains and maps you're interested in to revisit later. Works even without logging in — and syncs automatically once you do.

Bilingual Support (JA/EN)

The entire site is now available in both Japanese and English, welcoming orienteers from around the world.
