Tell me about your preferred sites for mapping rides in Japan. I'm getting my first cycling computer in a couple of weeks so I'm a complete novice

Very much so. RWGPS is the best I've found so far, and I've tried a few. Different colors, custom POI. It has a great feature set.Is their route builder better than Strava's?
On the ability to fine-tune routes: Note the out-and-back to the top of Tossaka pass and back down again, and specifically the stretch beyond the top, from 57.3 km to 58.0 km. Adding that little stretch was a (human) error, unnoticed at the time. (If it had been noticed, the "undo" button would have fixed it.) Since the superfluous stretch is less than a kilometre it really doesn't matter, but somehow it irritates me. Last night I spent twenty minutes trying but failing to zap it.
Maybe that's why workshops are needed.Could have been I just didn't know how to use it well but I didn't find it very intuitive for route planning.
I messed around with it a bit on their website and didn't really know what I was doing. I get the feeling they still need a bigger user base in Japan as it relies on the users to populate the maps with things to see and do. Btw, I wonder when the cycling icon on Google Maps Japan will stop being just a dead link. I'm keen to try that once they decide to turn it on.Maybe that's why workshops are needed.
