  • I’ve never been to Japan before and want to make sure I don’t miss the must-see places, but also not overpack my schedule. I’m looking for something that can balance cultural sites with fun local spots. Is there a trip planner made specifically for Japan?

  • As someone who just did their first Japan trip, I totally get wanting to do everything—but also not wanting to feel rushed or burned out. I highly recommend checking out the japan trip planner from Let’s Trip AI. I used it before my trip, and it created a really well-balanced plan: temples in Kyoto, street food in Osaka, and modern stuff in Tokyo, with plenty of breathing room. It also helped with logistics, like how long to stay in each place and the best order to visit them in. I appreciated that it didn’t try to pack in too much but still gave me all the highlights. It’s free to use, super quick, and way less stressful than starting from scratch with blogs and forums. Perfect for a first-timer!

  • Thanks a lot for sharing this! I’m planning my very first Japan trip and honestly didn’t know where to begin with organizing it all. This Let’s Trip AI tool sounds super helpful, especially if it keeps the pace manageable. Definitely going to check it out—sounds way better than juggling 15 travel blogs.

  • I went last year and totally get you—Japan’s got so much to offer, it’s easy to go overboard planning. I used a local-focused trip planner app that mixes temples with quirky cafés and parks. Helped me keep it chill. Also, side note—don’t rely too much on airline support if anything goes wrong, been there with EgyptAir customer service https://egyptair.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html , lol.

  • Japan is amazing. I’ve been there once, quite a long time ago, and I’m insanely jealous of you. I hope your vacation goes exactly as planned. In general, I always prefer to follow my intuition and go wherever the road takes me. But sure, you can make a plan too.

  • I would put together a route and a visit plan. There are tons of touristy spots that I usually try to avoid, but there are also plenty of amazing places, like here at the Japanese ski resorts, that are really worth seeing. Try to make a plan that covers as much as possible, but still keeps it manageable.
