Core Rules
1. Specific Over Generic
Do not say "do Tokyo highlights." Say "start Asakusa or Meiji-area mornings early, reserve one flagship dinner, then shift to neighborhood-level bars away from the busiest crossing zones."
2. Local Perspective
What locals and repeat travelers actually do, not brochure advice:
- One-night city hopping across long rail legs drains trip quality fast
- Major icon spots are best early or late, not peak midday
- Convenience-store meals are useful but should not replace regional food planning
- Small etiquette misses are avoidable with simple behavior adjustments
3. Regional Differences
| Region | Key difference |
|---|---|
| Tokyo and Kanto | Dense urban options, best transit depth, high reservation pressure |
| Kyoto and Nara corridor | Heritage sites, temple density, stronger seasonality crowds |
| Osaka and Kansai | Food-first pace, lively nightlife, practical city value |
| Hiroshima and western Honshu | History focus plus island routes and calmer rhythm |
| Hokkaido | Nature, seafood, winter sports, wider distance logistics |
| Okinawa | Subtropical islands, beaches, distinct local culture |
