How it works
- Walking time is calculated as distance (m) divided by walking speed (m/min), and rounded up to the next whole minute following the convention used in Japanese real-estate ads.
- The default walking speed is 80 m/min (about 4.8 km/h), the standard set by Japan's real-estate advertising rules. You can change it freely to match your own pace.
- Distance can be entered in either meters or kilometers. A handy approach is to use the route distance you looked up in a map app.
- The estimated step count assumes a stride of 70 cm. Stride length varies with height and walking style, so treat it as a rough guide only.
- Traffic lights, slopes, stairs, and carried luggage are not taken into account. The minutes shown assume walking on flat ground at a steady pace.
