Your stress free guide to

Japan starts here

No more 40-tab chaos, scattered TikToks, or second-guessing your itinerary.


We turned 6 months of research and 2.5 weeks of amazing travel into one easy, clickable guide.

Where This Guide Takes You

If you’re planning your first trip to Japan, you’ve probably seen a million route options. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to visit every city to have an incredible experience. That’s why this guide focuses on Japan’s most iconic, must-see cities for first-timers: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka .

But we didn’t stop there. We’ve also included ideas for potential day trips if you’re lucky enough to have more time.

Feeling overwhelmed by the“must-see” sites? Let’s fix that.

We’ve traveled to 33+ countries, and still, Japan was the hardest trip we ever planned.


It took us six months of planning just to build our dream 2.5-week adventure. Between figuring out train routes, where to stay, how to book things, and which places were actually worth the hype… we felt overwhelmed.

But once we got there it became our favorite trip we’ve ever taken. 

We created this guide so you can skip the chaos and go straight to the good stuff.


Deep breaths. You’ve got this.

Amanda R., first-time Japan traveler

I was deep in the planning rabbit hole with 20 browser tabs open, trying to figure out where to stay in Tokyo. Juliana and Martin’s guide laid everything out so clearly. The map, hotel picks, etiquette tips… it felt like having a personal travel coach.

David T., solo traveler from NYC

Usually I’m anxious when I travel somewhere completely new, but this guide gave me a clear plan. The tips on navigating trains, when to book tickets, even what to pack. Everything was practical and thoughtful. I actually enjoyed planning for once.

Jenny & Carlos M., honeymooners from California

Worth every penny and better than any blog or video. I follow Tourist to Local on YouTube, but this guide took things to the next level. It combined everything I needed in one place. The itinerary made it so easy to pace our trip, and we used the map every single day. It made our honeymoon unforgettable.
