Your Planning AI Companion
Planning a Japan trip is exciting. But with so many possibilities, it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start. Here's how it usually goes:
- Step 1: You’re dreaming of Japan. Maybe a quiet temple in Kyoto, a bustling Tokyo street, or a hidden village off the beaten path you can’t quite name.
- Step 2: As you dig deeper, the possibilities multiply. Temples, festivals, local crafts, or serene nature await. It’s exciting but overwhelming, and you wish for someone deeply rooted in Japan’s local culture to guide you through its artisans, communities, and local areas.
- Step 3: This is where our custom AI comes in. Designed by local Japanese specialists, it lets you explore at your own pace, anytime, as often as you like, in your language. Start a text chat to shape your ideas and get a clear, easy-to-use summary with ease.
* Note: To use our AI Concierge, you need to first create a free OpenAI account. If you haven't already, you can do so here. After that, make sure you are logged in. Both free and paid users can access our Custom GPT via GPT-4o or later. However, free accounts may have usage limits or feature restrictions. For the best experience, we recommend a ChatGPT Plus plan or higher.
Once you have received your summary, let it help you explore unique experiences, book essentials like train tickets, or connect with our trusted local partners for further insights into local traditions and hidden gems. You can share it with our tailored consultation service to make your journey even more meaningful. Your journey begins here.
