This is a very convenient option that Planetyze offers. Many times we already know where we want to go, or we just want to know
more about a specific destination, but looking for it one by one can be exhausting. To make the experience of searching easier and faster, Planetyze has a “search”option where you can simply write the name of the prefecture or place you are willing to visit and the
app will show you a list of options according to your preference.

 

3. Find the locations in the map

Every time we visit a new destination, we are always dealing with the problem of not knowing where the attractions are located and the distances between them, which makes us difficult to organize our days in a convenient way. By this mapoption, Planetyze allows you to know the exactly spot where the places you picked are located. In this way, you can organize your tour day choosing the places which are closer to each other without losing traveling time. This will help you to decide the best sightseeing according to your staying place and also to plan a full day tour according the proximity of the destinations.

 

4. Spots - Full information , Pictures and Videos.

Because you need to have full information of the places you want to visit, in Planetyze you will not only find a complete description of each spot, but also the important data you need to make the best choice according to your preferences such: business hours, address, prices, contact information, web sites and all what you need to make it easier at the moment of your selection.

 

5. Original videos exploring Japan

 

When we look for destinations, we always find pictures and written texts telling us how it looks but it is never enough. To be able to make a better choice, we also need the experience, or at least to have a brief “living”moment to allow our senses to choose. That is why in the description of the locations, you can find the option to watch videos showing what it is offered in each destination, like sightseeings and activities. This option allows you to travel for a few seconds to the place you chose so you can have your first experience.

 

 

6. Write your experiences and read others users reviews.

Before choosing a place,it is important to know the experience that other people had in the past. This allows us to know different points of view and from there decide what is the best for our vacation time. In Planetyze app you can read the comments of previous tourists who visited different destinations and you can also write your own experience to help other people in the future in their own selection process.

 

7. Make a wishlist and plan your trip

Japan

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
