If you walk for daily exercise or commute, doing it without tracking apps is a waste of money. Pedometer apps let you accumulate reward points automatically just by keeping your phone in your pocket. We review the top 5 move-to-earn apps in Japan.

Top Pedometer Apps

1. Torima (トリマ)

The most popular app in Japan, rewarding you not only for steps but also for “travel distance” via trains or cars.

• Redemptions: Amazon Gift Cards, T-Points, d-Points, bank transfers.

2. Other Stellar Apps

• aruco: Rewards your steps with fractional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• Coke ON: Coca-Cola’s official app. Reaching weekly step goals yields drink vouchers redeemable at vending machines.
• Rakuten Senior: Reaching 4,000 steps daily and checking in at local venues rewards Rakuten Points.
• d Healthcare: Docomo’s app, giving out d-points for clearing step goals and health logs.

Pro Tip: Run Them Concurrently!

Pedometer apps do not conflict. Since they pull step logs from your phone’s default health tracker (Apple Health / Google Fit), running all 5 apps concurrently multiplies your earnings for the exact same steps.
