Take days from this trip and others into Mix days, and we build one itinerary from them.

You should visit Japan for its unique blend of ancient traditions and modern innovation, its delicious and diverse cuisine, and its stunning natural landscapes. Key attractions include historic temples and shrines, futuristic cityscapes, vibrant festivals, and stunning scenery that changes with the seasons, such as cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn foliage in the fall. Check out this 12-day itinerary to explore Japan in the best way possible.

The best time to visit Japan is generally in the spring (March-May) for cherry blossoms or the autumn (September-November) for fall foliage, as these seasons offer pleasant weather and beautiful scenery.

What you get

  • 12 days, in order — where to be each morning, afternoon and evening, with the travel between them.
  • Where to stay — the nights in each place, with links that open the hotel for your dates.
  • Places and food by name — real restaurants and sights, each opening on the map, never "a local eatery".
  • What it costs — a budget summary per traveller, and what to carry in cash.
  • Yours to keep — a PDF you can read on your phone offline, and in the app.

Best time to go: spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November)

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?

The full 12-day itinerary, day by day: timings, real places with map links, stays, and food. You can read it in your browser or download the PDF, both the minute you pay. It also sits in your account, so you can open it again from any device, and the GST invoice is emailed with it.

Is there any support after I buy?

Yes, and it is free. If something in the plan does not suit you — a stay outside your budget, a different transport option, restaurants for a dietary need, or combining this with another itinerary — tell us and one of us will sort it out with you on WhatsApp. Message +91 98733 95006 or write to hello@diytinerary.com. We reply on weekdays.

These are not my dates. Can I still use it?

Yes. The itinerary is written by day, not by date, so it works whenever you go — the seasonal notes tell you what changes. If you would rather have it built around your actual dates, group and budget, use Adapt this itinerary for my dates above: that is a new itinerary written for you, and it costs less than one written from scratch.

Can I change the stops?

Not on this one — we have no other Japan itinerary close enough to lift a stop from. If you want a different route, ask for a custom itinerary and we will plan it around the stops you name.

Is it refundable?

A ready-made itinerary is a file you receive immediately, so it is not refundable as a matter of course. A refund can be requested within 24 hours of a first purchase, and we look at genuine problems case by case — if the document will not open or is not what the page described, tell us and we will fix it or refund it. The full terms are on our refund and cancellation page.

Is GST included?

Yes. The price you see is the final amount, with 18% GST already inside it. Nothing is added at the payment screen, and the invoice carries your state as the place of supply. If you are buying for a company, add the GSTIN on the form and the invoice comes with it so you can claim the input credit.
