Clear answers before you plan
What the tool does, what it stores and where verification belongs.
Are the generated booking dates based on real rules?
Yes, when an official source publishes a precise calculation rule. Variable, event-specific or contradictory rules remain undated and link to the live provider page.
Will the site notify me when tickets open?
It does not send push notifications. You can export calculated openings to your calendar and use the official link for live availability.
Where is my trip saved?
Only in localStorage in this browser. There is no account or remote database.
Can I share my plan?
Yes. The share URL contains dates and filters, but no personal profile.
Does the site book tickets?
No. It organises your plan and sends you to each venue or operator’s official booking channel.
How current is the information?
Every experience shows its source and checked date. Providers can change systems, so always recheck before payment.
Why do some experiences have no booking date at all?
Because the official wording does not support a calculation. Fixed windows, monthly releases and lotteries can be converted into a date; timed slots and live inventory often cannot. In those cases the planner creates an undated live-check task instead of a false deadline.
How is Japan time handled?
Japan Standard Time is UTC+09:00 and has no daylight saving. Opening times are stored exactly as the provider states them in Japan time and shown next to your local reading, so a 10:00 Tokyo release is never silently rewritten as a local morning.
Are the restaurant shortlists reviews?
No. They are a checked directory: each venue is contrasted with its own official site and the regional tourism dining directory. They are not paid placements and do not claim a personal visit. Menus, opening hours and reservations stay with the provider.
Does the site show ads, and who manages consent?
The site’s own banner covers optional analytics only, and analytics loads only after you accept it. Advertising consent, where it is required, is managed separately by Google’s certified consent platform. You can reopen cookie settings from the footer at any time and withdraw a previous choice.
How does this site make money, and does that affect what it recommends?
It is intended to be funded by advertising, served by Google and kept off private, legal and incomplete pages. There are no affiliate links, no commission on any booking and no paid placements: every outbound link goes to the venue or operator’s own official channel, and no business can pay to be listed, ranked higher or described more favourably. Editorial decisions and advertising are kept separate, which is why some pages carry no advertising at all.
What should I do if a rule changed after I planned around it?
Trust the provider, not this site. Every booking page shows the official source and the date it was checked, so open that source and compare. If the provider has changed its rule, the correction is worth sending through the contact form: an inaccurate live claim is treated as more urgent than any new page, and a fix updates both languages and the shared evidence record.
Why is the place I want to book not listed?
The catalogue is deliberately narrow. A booking is added only when an official primary source describes its release mechanism clearly enough to be recorded and dated, which rules out many venues that publish nothing reliable. Absence means the evidence was not there, not that a place is unimportant, and requests for additions are welcome through the contact form.
Can a lottery really be turned into a countdown?
Only the application period can. For a drawing, the date shown is when you must enter, never a prediction that you will be selected. The planner deliberately separates the moment you have to act from the outcome you cannot control, and it will not invent a result date for a lottery that has not been drawn.
