Free Japan Planning Tools

Five tools · No signup · Nothing stored

Planning a first trip to Japan means answering a handful of questions with numbers, not vibes: what it costs, where to go and in what order, when the blossoms are, what to put in the suitcase, and whether the rail pass is worth it. These do the work. They run entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, and none of them ask for your email.

How to use them together

They're built to hand off to each other. Start with the blossom planner if your dates are flexible and sakura matters, or skip it if they aren't. Feed your dates into the itinerary builder for a route, price that route in the cost calculator, check the long-distance legs against the JR Pass calculator before you buy anything, and run the packing generator the week before you fly.

Every number they use comes from the same reference ranges as our written guides, so the tools and the articles won't contradict each other.
