Planning a trip to Japan is a thrilling adventure in itself, but it can also be a complex and overwhelming process. From choosing the right destinations to crafting a detailed itinerary, every step demands careful consideration. That's where Wanderlog, a travel planning app, came to our rescue. Here is how we harnessed the power of Wanderlog to meticulously plan our 2-week Kansai trip!


Creating a Seamless Itinerary

Our journey began with a blank canvas, and Wanderlog provided the perfect platform to paint our travel masterpiece. With its intuitive itinerary creation feature, we effortlessly added notes, places of interest, opening hours, ticket prices, and transportation details to our plan. Whether it was plotting a visit to Osaka's bustling districts or exploring the serene temples of Kyoto, we had a digital canvas to design our adventure. You can also easily shift days around to fit the overall schedules. This was especially helpful in helping us plan when we should activate our JR Pass to get the best value.


Tip: Wanderlog's integration with flight and accommodation reservations made tracking our travel essentials a breeze, ensuring no detail was overlooked.


Efficient Route Planning

Navigating Japan's intricate transport network can be a daunting task, especially on a multi-city tour. Wanderlog, however, took the guesswork out of route planning. It calculated distances and estimated travel times either by foot, drive, or public transport between locations, ensuring we optimised our travel days.


Unearthing Hidden Gems

One of the joys of traveling is discovering hidden gems that aren't on the usual tourist trail. Wanderlog's extensive database of places and activities allowed us to explore beyond the guidebooks. We browsed through recommendations, delved into articles written by fellow travelers, and added a bunch of new spots I otherwise would not have found.


Tip: In the Explore page, toggle "Top places to eat" in the location you are at to see a list of highly-rated restaurants in the area.



AI integrated

Wanderlog's AI assistant feature was like having a personal travel concierge. Ask it a simple question and get a list of recommendations straight away, accurately curated from online information. Save time from research and get exploring!



Collaboration mode

Traveling with companions is a joy, but coordinating plans can be challenging. Wanderlog made group travel planning a breeze. Despite being the one who created the itinerary, I shared it with my partner and we could both edit the plan in real time. It ensured that everyone was on the same page and contributed their ideas.


Tip: Want to keep your non-traveling family members updated on where you are during your travels? You can also share a view-only version.



Your Ultimate Travel Companion

In a world where time is precious, Wanderlog emerged as our ultimate travel companion. It allowed us to save time and effort by streamlining our planning process, helping us get the most out of our journey, and keeping us impeccably organised. There are way more the app offers but the above list was already game-changing for us on many levels.


If you're planning your next holiday, I wholeheartedly recommend Wanderlog. Its free-to-use version and its sufficiently diverse array of features will transform your trip into a well-orchestrated symphony of experiences. Say goodbye to travel-related Google Maps, spreadsheets, and pages of printouts, and hello to the joy of discovery, all with the assistance of this remarkable travel planning app.


Bon voyage!
