Common questions
Why a 5-day minimum?
Japan trips shorter than 5 days don't need routing help, and the free 3-day preview would otherwise be gamed into a free full plan.
Is there a maximum trip length?
No. A 21-day trip is $21, a 30-day trip is $30 — always USD 1 per travel day.
What if I want a different route?
Start a new trip. Your preview is always free, so you can compare routes before paying for one.
Can I cancel Pro?
Any time. You keep access until the end of the paid month, and every itinerary you already unlocked stays yours.
What travellers say
Early users are already using Kikō to replace months of research. These are their own words.
I used to spend three months on spreadsheets. Kikō gave me a better 14-day route in an afternoon, and the rain alternatives saved us twice.
Sarah & James, 14-day autumn trip
Finally a Japan planner that does not just list cities. The Mapcodes, station walk times and family room details were exactly what we needed with two kids.
The Chen family, 10-day spring trip
We planned our honeymoon around onsen and ryokan. The agent found a village we had never heard of, and it became the best night of the trip.
Rebecca & Tom, 12-day winter trip
Days 1–3 were free and detailed enough to judge the whole plan. Paying $1 a day felt fair for the amount of work it saved me.
