What Japan rewards you for turning up wanting.

    When to go

    Worth visiting at any time of year.

    Highlighted months are the ones we would pick. Choose any month to start planning one. The planner reads the real forecast for your dates either way, and moves the indoor days around the rain.

    Where to go in Japan

    A country is more than a day can hold, so start with a city.

    How we plan it

    No stock itineraries. The day is built for your dates, your pace and your taste.

    1. Real places, not a list someone wrote

      We pull what is actually there from open map data: the galleries, the bakeries, the viewpoint nobody puts on a poster.

    2. Ranked against what you enjoy

      Every place is scored on the things you told us you like, what the weather is doing that day, and how far it is from wherever you already are.

    3. Ordered so the day works

      Then it is put in an order that makes geographic sense and gets you there while it is open. Change any of it and the rest moves around what you keep.

    Ready when you are

    Tell us your dates and what you enjoy, and we will have a day for you before you have finished your coffee.
