Plan a trip to Japan

Draw your journey. Watch it become a painting.

Sketch a route across a living map of Japan, and Go JaPlan paints your trip as a handscroll, one scene for every day. Then plan each morning, afternoon and evening.

Draw it

Drag a brush across the map

Draw a line through the places you’d like to see. The brush catches every town it passes, in order, and the old map lights up with lanterns after dark in Japan.

Watch it become a painting

Every day becomes a scene

Your route unrolls as an emaki, a painted handscroll: Tokyo’s tower, Hakone’s hot springs, Kyoto’s pagoda, a day out to Nara’s deer. Drag the golden clouds between scenes to give a place more days.

Live it day by day

Morning, afternoon, evening

Under the painting, each day has three parts. Fill them from the sights people love most and the food nearby, paste in your own finds, and seal what you’ve booked with a red 済.

Meet Akari

Not sure where to start?

Akari is the paper lantern who lights the way. Answer four questions, hang four wishes, and Akari paints a first draft of your trip, with the reason for every stop.

Your passport

A station stamp for every place

Like the stamps at Japan’s railway stations, each place on your route gets one, inked once its stay is booked. Your passport also keeps what to book and when, and every way to take the trip with you.
