## What is Tokyo Playbook?

Plan your Japan trip from the first saved reel to the final train home. Tokyo Playbook is an AI Japan travel planner and concierge built for Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Sapporo and destinations across Japan.

Choose your cities and dates, save places you love, pull likely spots from Instagram and TikTok, and turn everything into an editable day-by-day route. Unlike a general chatbot, your recommendations, saved places, map and itinerary stay together on one trip board.

BUILD A JAPAN ITINERARY THAT MAKES SENSE

Shape days around your dates, interests, pace and city order. Stops are arranged with neighborhood context so you can spend more time exploring and less time crossing the city. Ask the concierge to change or rebuild any day.

TURN REELS INTO A REAL PLAN

Share an Instagram or TikTok post directly to Tokyo Playbook. Save likely place matches automatically or check them before saving, keep the original source, and attach available photos, listed hours and directions. Collect spots in Social Saves, view them on a map, or fit compatible places into a trip day.

FIND PLACES FOR YOUR KIND OF JAPAN

Balance famous essentials with lower-key neighborhood finds. Explore restaurants, ramen, sushi, coffee, temples, pop culture, nightlife, day trips and more based on your preferences and visit history.

PLAN TOGETHER

Invite your travel companions to the same private board. Everyone can add places, see the shared itinerary and leave comments.

GET READY BEFORE YOU GO

See booking windows for time-sensitive places, date-aware holiday and festival notes, and a JR Pass calculator based on your planned route.

USE IT WHILE YOU ARE IN JAPAN

Ask what is good nearby, adjust around weather or energy, and open directions for the next stop. Point your camera at a menu, sign, ticket machine or product to get a practical explanation and help deciding what to order.

LOCAL INTEL WHEN AVAILABLE

Japanese-language reviews can reveal what regulars order, when queues are worst and details that may not appear in English. Tokyo Playbook synthesizes supported review signals honestly and shows what information is available for each place.

FREE TO START

Try the concierge and save places as a guest. A free account keeps your trip and gives you more room to plan.
