Yes, the Japan trip planner app is free: destination discovery, itinerary creation, and community itineraries. The Ryokô Guide, the railway pass simulator, and the departure checklist are part of the premium offering.
Unlike generic trip planners, Ryokô Planner is 100% dedicated to Japan: destinations organized by interests, community itineraries, a JR Pass calculator, and a specialized guide. Everything you need is in one app, built for Japan.
The Ryokô Guide is a complete Japan travel guide built into the app (premium offering): visa, transport, culture, and everything you need to know before you go. It is separate from this website's blog, which offers travel articles and tips.
Yes. Ryokô Planner is designed for multi-stop routes: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kyushu, and many other regions, with durations, activities, and city order editable at any time.
Since the 2023 price increase, the JR Pass is no longer automatically worth it : it depends on your route. The calculator built into Ryokô Planner compares the JR Pass and regional passes against your actual trips. Details in our JR Pass and regional passes guide.
Plan on roughly $2,000-$4,000 per person for 2 weeks including flights, depending on comfort level. Ryokô Planner doesn't track your budget, but a well-built itinerary in the app helps you avoid one costly mistake: the JR Pass calculator checks whether a transport pass pays off for your routes. See our 2-week Japan budget guide.
Spring (March-May, cherry blossoms) and autumn (October-November, foliage) are the most popular seasons; May after Golden Week and September offer the best balance of weather, crowds, and prices. Our article on the best time to visit Japan covers each season.
Plan at least 7 days for Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka, and 14-15 days for the full Golden Route with Mt. Fuji and Nara. In Ryokô Planner, you adjust the length of each stage and immediately see whether your plan fits your dates. Examples: 7-day itinerary and 14-day itinerary.
Passport, flight and accommodation bookings, transport passes, insurance, payment methods, and season-appropriate packing. The checklist built into Ryokô Planner covers every step so you forget nothing.
