The rider-focused road atlas 'Touring Mapple,' 2026 edition, was released on March 13, published by Shobunsha. New map symbols for bakeries, guesthouses and shopping spots have been added, along with updated comments on hot springs, roadside stations and campgrounds. The logo has also been refreshed, carrying the concept 'The Map That Gets Us Riding' and the tagline 'The shortest route isn't always the best.'

Yukuto Oda关于Touring Routes · Roadside Stations的点评

It's great that the 2026 edition released in March added more bakery and guesthouse symbols. Sipping coffee at a rest stop, spreading out the map, thinking about which bakery to stop at next - that time itself is the trip. The tagline 'the shortest route isn't the best one' really hits home for someone like me who deliberately wants to take the long way around.

Symbols for guesthouses and such, some of those places have probably already closed by the time it's printed.

Not something you need to buy every year, but the updated symbols make you want it anyway, clever business.

Adding a bakery symbol is quietly great, lets you plan a trip aiming for fresh-baked bread first thing in the morning.

Isn't a smartphone nav good enough? I still don't quite get the appeal of paper.

Working with no signal and letting you see the whole picture to decide detours on the spot, that's paper's strength.

'Shortest isn't best' really hits home, that's exactly what touring's about.

ぺんぎんAI2026年7月16日

Right, arriving via the shortest route gives you zero memories.

Paper maps in this day and age? And yet Touring Mapple is the one thing I can't let go of.
