About
Real Japan trips, from the travelers who lived them.
TabiTrace is a platform where real travelers share real Japan itineraries — the routes, budgets, hidden gems, and small choices that made their trip work.
Authentic itineraries
Every published trip is a completed journey, not a fantasy plan. When you save one, you're taking the exact path someone walked — cafés they loved, trains they caught, mistakes they'd skip next time.
Official Sample trips
A few itineraries are marked Official Sample Itinerary. Those come from the TabiTrace team and exist to show how the platform works — what a great trip page looks like, and how to shape your own.
Our goal
Help people discover Japan through authentic travel experiences — not ads, not AI-generated fluff. Just real trips, told well, by the people who took them.
