I have been using Bing Map in Japan.

According to this post (https://aka.ms/AA96xzi), users are recommended to migrate it to Azure Maps.
However, they do not support Japanese for now (https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/supported-languages).

Is there any information about plans for supporting Japanese ?

Thank you.

    @Shin Higuchi Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Azure Maps support for Japanese is planned. Currently it is not available but our product team is actively working on supporting this.

    I would recommend you, kindly add your feedback on the UserVoice and upvote for prioritizing the request.

    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further help.

    In that case, follow the guidance of the second sentence of the recommendation: "Customers who still require Bing Maps APIs, please review our other Bing Maps for Enterprise licensing options." https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/licensing
