Is there a local equivalent to Mountain Project in Japan?

Hello! I'll be in the Japanese island of Shikoku for a couple months later this year, and I noticed that MP coverage for Shikoku is nonexistent, and it's pretty sparse in Japan generally. I'm assuming there is a local equivalent to MP in Japan that people use, does anyone know what it is?

A little bit in The Crag as well:

Go ask in their dedicated forum:

Start with this then search individual locations for details. Japan has most of its info stashed away in personal blogs and is still pretty grassroots. 

Thanks!! Any examples of personal blogs to check out? Even if not relevant to Shikoku, super curious to take a look.

Thanks! Weirdly, none of the posts in that forum seem related to Shikoku, but will give that a shot.

Just dig around. These are two that came up first page, can’t vouch for them.
Japan does things often very differently to how other cultures do. Google translate is your friend. 

Wow, super cool posts! You have good Googling skills! Will do some searching.

Would love to hear what you find! I’ll be traveling through Japan November and December and will be climbing at least one week in Okinawa.
