About this place
Ishigedo Rest House sits about halfway along the Oirase Gorge in Towada City, Aomori, beside Route 102. It is the gorge’s main parking area and the usual start of the riverside walking path.
The gorge road is a narrow two-lane strip with the stream on one side and rock on the other, and roadside parking is limited and heavily used in autumn. Ishigedo is where you actually leave the car — set this mapcode rather than the name of whichever waterfall you are heading for.
Need a mapcode for somewhere else?
This site covers 30 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot, the restaurant you booked — those need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix — that is fine, it only refines the pin.
Where these coordinates come from
A Japanese user searching for this place was sent to Tokoname City instead — several hundred kilometres away, in Aichi. The name is uncommon enough that a text search drifts to a better-known match. The coordinates here were cross-checked against Rurubu’s listing and confirmed to sit in the correct sequence along the gorge relative to neighbouring landmarks.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Ishigedo Rest House?
- The mapcode is 612 732 504*72, pointing at a spot in 青森県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 40.540577, 140.978288. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
