How To Use It

Start with the Excel planner before your trip.

Add your travel dates, flights, hotels, and main cities. Then browse the pre-loaded Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka ideas and choose what fits your travel style.

Use the food section to build your own Japan food bucket list. Add ramen shops, sushi stops, matcha cafes, street food, convenience store treats, and anything else that makes your stomach say yes.

Use the itinerary pages to plan each day without overpacking it. Add your bookings, transport notes, activity ideas, and free time.

Use the budget dashboard to keep an eye on your spending before and during the trip.

Then use the travel journal as your personal keepsake. Fill it in during the trip or after you get home. Write about what you saw, what you ate, what surprised you, what made you laugh, and what you want to remember forever.
