Every day with Toshiko

No tricky controls: everything works with one finger, at your own pace.

🐕

Pet, play and teach tricks

Pat her head, throw a ball, and as your bond grows she learns new tricks.

🌸

Walk real streets

Stroll the real layout of Harajuku's Cat Street together. She sniffs, finds treasures and meets the neighbours.

🏘️

A town like yours

Quiet houses, a shopping lane or rows of apartment buildings: the walk's town takes on the feel of your own neighbourhood.

🛋️

Decorate and dress up

Furniture, outfits, even a vintage cassette recorder. Make her room your own.

📖

A diary of your days

What she found, who you met, even how often she flatly refused to walk. It's all kept in her diary.

🔔

Gentle reminders

A quiet nudge for the morning walk or a treat. Easy to switch off in Settings.

Screenshots

Soft colours and an unhurried pace.

  • Optionally count your real steps and distance as you walk.

  • Purchases are optional and always confirmed first.
  • Fully in English and Japanese.

FAQ

Anything else? Just email us at the address below.

Is it free?

Yes, you can play the whole game for free. Optional purchases are cosmetic only (furniture, outfits) and never change how the game plays.

Are there ads?

The app may show ads, such as video or banner ads, and the kinds of ads may change over time. Purchases are always optional and always confirmed before you pay.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone X and later, running iOS 16.0 or later.

Does it send my location?

Your exact location never leaves your phone. Only a rough area, rounded to about 1 km, is used to look up the weather and what your neighbourhood looks like. See the privacy policy for details.

What happens to Toshiko if I change phones?

Make a transfer code in Settings → Transfer & backup. Enter it on your new iPhone and Toshiko comes over in full: personality, level, items and diary. You can also keep a backup file.
