Route decisions
Build the trip in the right order
Start with the choices that shape everything else: bases, pace, season, and booking order. That keeps the route clear without planning every hour.
Choose a few bases with strong logistics. Tokyo and Kansai often go further than a map full of short stops.
Let major transfers be followed by lighter days. It leaves room for weather, queues, and spontaneous neighborhoods.
Choose the period by how the trip should feel, not only by one iconic week. Season affects price, crowds, and energy.
Lock flights, hotel areas, and transport logic before individual restaurants and sights. It reduces expensive detours.
Current check
Check what is happening before sending the route
The route outline should hold up against current conditions. Check active events, seasonal peaks, closures, and ticket releases before hotel areas and day trips feel locked.
If several updates point to the same city or week, the order between Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and side routes may need adjustment.
Use current notes to see whether dates, hotel areas, tickets, or transport should be locked earlier.
Weather, blossoms, autumn leaves, and local festivals can make the same route either smoother or more demanding.
Open Updates once the route has a rough city and date order.

Current notes are used as decision support when dates, transport, tickets, closures, or hotel areas may be affected.
