LINE Maps for Indoor is a navigation app specifically designed to help users make their way through the inside of commercial buildings like shopping malls and department stores. Users can easily find where they are looking for by entering a store or restaurant name, or by directly tapping a location on the map, after which the app will show them the fastest way to their destination.

 

The app is available in languages other than Japanese, including English, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese, meaning tourists from abroad can make use of the service as well. The app currently services 37 facilities, including popular Tokyo tourism spots like Shibuya Hikarie, Lumine, Coredo, and the service plans to add more supported locations in the future.
