Is TripFlow really free to try?

Yes. Every itinerary starts with a free 2-day preview in both route styles — no account needed. Unlock the full trip for $2.75 one-time, or buy an Insider Pass for a month ($5.49) or a year ($31.90) of unlimited planning. There is no subscription — nothing auto-renews, and you can extend any time you like. All prices include 10% Japanese consumption tax.

Can I get a non-touristy version of my itinerary?

Yes — every trip generates two routes: the Classic Route (the icons) and the Local's Route (backstreets, neighborhoods, where locals actually eat). Preview both free, unlock the one you prefer.

How is this different from ChatGPT or Google?

TripFlow is Japan-only and deeply specialized. It knows local train routes, real restaurant names, hotel price ranges, and seasonal events. ChatGPT gives generic advice — TripFlow gives you a specific, actionable day-by-day plan you can actually follow.

When to go, and what to know

Practical Tokyo advice before you lock in dates.

Best: late March–May, October–November

Japan's peak seasons — cherry blossom, Golden Week, autumn foliage and New Year — sell out months ahead in Tokyo. Travelling just outside those windows usually means lower prices and quieter sights.

✓Book Ghibli Museum tickets via l-tike.com (Lawson) on the 1st of each month for the following month.
✓Tokyo DisneySea and Disneyland require advance booking via tokyodisneyresort.jp — popular dates sell out weeks ahead.
✓Get a Suica IC card for Tokyo transit — works on all metro, JR, and bus lines within the city.
✓Avoid rush hour (7:30-9:30am) on Tokyo trains if you have luggage — stations are dangerously crowded.
