Before moving to Tokushima, Japan, I wanted to get the best possible information on available apartments. Specifically I wanted to get a map which would show rental / sales prices at different locations, like AirBnB. So I wrote a scraper that went through all the local apartment rental sites and imported the data to Google Earth. After spending several nights on this app and happily browsing the data, my wife then went to a local rental agency and just got some place they recommended. While a bit annoyed my effort was in vain, after years of living here and often browsing the local apartment listings, I've come to realize this was actually a really good choice!
