The travel bug has bitten many of us, but with so much to explore, it’s hard to know where to start. Luckily, online travel planners such as Roamaround.io, Google Bard, Expedia and Kayak have teamed up with ChatGPT and SnapChat MyAI to help you plan the perfect trip in Tokyo.
Roamaround.io recommends a range of activities, such as hiking the Mt. Fuji Yoshda Trail, visiting the Ghibli Museum, and exploring trendy neighborhoods like Rappongi, Ginza, and Akihabara. Google Bard offers a detailed itinerary with links and photos, including suggestions like visiting the Hachiko Statue and taking in a sumo wrestling tournament.
Expedia provides a Japanese tea ceremony experience at Meiji Shrine, stopping by Sensoji, Asakusa markets, and the Tsukiji Fish Market for fresh sushi. Kayak offers a helpful Best Time to Travel tool, recommending travel in October for lower airfare, good weather, and fewer crowds. Snapchat’s MyAI suggests visiting Tokyo in the spring for cherry blossom season or in the fall for autumn foliage.
In addition to these helpful suggestions, the ChatGPT iOS app warns against typhoons in the summer and suggests visiting Odaiba Seaside Park, Palette Town, and Rainbow Bridge. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory also offers great views of the city.
While much-needed features like Map My Trip, Find My Fare and Book My Reservation have yet to be rolled out, these conversational AI companions are a perfect way to armchair travel and get excited about your future adventures.
