How it works
- Buy and download. Checkout takes a minute (card or PayPal); the download link arrives instantly.
- Print what you need. Letter or A4, black-and-white is fine. Print extra daily pages for longer trips.
- Plan in order. Snapshot → route → budget → transport → hotels → bookings → daily pages. Each sheet feeds the next.
Who it's for
First-time visitors planning their own trip — especially travelers from the US and Canada following the classic Tokyo–Kyoto–Osaka route. It pairs with our free guides: the 14-day itinerary tells you what a great first trip looks like; the planner is where your version of it gets decided and booked. If you already have every booking in a spreadsheet you love, you don't need this.
