This paper describes the survey tool for the Linguistic and Notational Landscape research. We developed the tools and we applied the tool to the survey of character "軕" in Gifu Prefecture. Linguistic and Notational Landscape survey has been widely used in many fields. But it is necessary to separate a large number of photos that were collected during the study for each subject. It takes a lot of troubles. In addition, sharing the survey results is difficult. In general, we publish the frequency as a numeric value, it is difficult to be compared with another research results. Therefore, we developed the support tool as an application for the iPhone. This tool separated the photos automatically, managed the data on the server for sharing the data with the researchers. We test for this tool to collect the local character "軕" being used in the Seino in Gifu Prefecture. This character is used to the name of a sacred palanquin in Ogaki festival. We compared the frequency of occurrence of this character three times, and that increase rapidly from a week ago. However, significant changes in awareness before and after the festival didn't appear by the questionnaire survey.
