Common questions

Because it makes things up. Hidden Japan plans from 2,650+ GPS-verified places with real routes, ferries and travel times, plus festivals matched to your actual dates. ChatGPT invents spots that don't exist and routes that don't connect.

No. Planning is free — 1 trip a day (3 in your first 48 hours) and 1 saved, with no card and no trial countdown. You only enter payment if you decide to unlock Trip Pass, and that's a one-time charge — no subscription attached.

Trip Pass covers one 30-day window of unlimited planning. After that your saved trips stay yours to view and you drop back to Free (1 trip a day, 1 saved). Grab another Trip Pass whenever the next trip comes.

Anytime, in a couple of clicks. Cancelling stops the automatic renewal — it isn't a refund: Pro runs to the end of the year you already paid for, then your account moves to Free with all your trips intact.

Plans are non-refundable, except where the service materially failed because of a problem on our side — contact us within 14 days and we review each case personally, at our discretion. A granted refund ends the plan immediately.
