## What is Japan Travel Now?

Japan Travel Now helps you decide where to go in Japan — today.

Every day we score travel areas all across Japan with the Japan Travel Index: a single number that combines everything that actually changes how your day feels.

WHAT GOES INTO THE SCORE
- Weather — hourly forecast, rain, temperature, wind
- Season — cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, snow, fresh green
- Events — festivals, fireworks and markets happening on that exact date
- Crowds — how busy the area is expected to be
- Cost — what a day in that area typically costs
- Transport — how easy the area is to reach

ONLY VERIFIED INFORMATION IS SCORED
Event and seasonal information is collected from official sources by AI and checked by our team. Anything we cannot confirm is never counted toward the score. No guesses, no filler.

HOW PEOPLE USE IT
- Open the app in the morning and see which areas score highest today
- Compare areas side by side before you commit to a train ticket
- Check the 7-day outlook when you are still deciding your itinerary
- See what is actually on — festivals and seasonal peaks you would otherwise miss
- Find tours and stays in the area you picked

BUILT FOR VISITORS
Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. No account needed. Free to use.

Japan Travel Now is operated by WANNAGROW INC., a licensed Japanese travel agency (Tokyo Governor Registered Travel Agency No. 2-8811).
