Hitotabi

Please note: the app's interface is in Japanese.

A trip begins before you leave. With ひとたび (hitotabi) you build a travel itinerary, send it to your companions, and turn your photos and videos into a memory movie when you get home.

Your plans become a single sheet with a quiet cover: white space, the destination, and one thin rule. No account is needed, and your itineraries and photos stay on your device.

BUILD THE ITINERARY List the places you want to go. Each plan gets an icon from its name, in 15 types from train and flight to meal, cafe, lodging, and hot spring. Pick a place from the map or from search and its address, phone number, and website come with it. You can start before the dates are set. Plans can hold a cost, and the trip has a packing checklist.

PASTE TEXT, GET A SCHEDULE Paste a note like "Day one: meet at Kyoto Station at noon, Kiyomizu-dera, dinner in Gion" and it becomes a timed schedule. A chat with friends works too. Existing plans are never rewritten.

NO IDEAS YET? Choose a destination, the number of days, and a mood, and the app suggests plans. Add where you leave from and the hours you have, and it stays inside them. On a half-built itinerary it fills only the gaps.

Suggested venues are checked against map search, and any that cannot be found are left unnamed. By design, the AI never states travel times, opening hours, or timetables.

FINDING A PLACE TO STAY For a night with no lodging, the app writes a ready-to-paste question based on where that day ends and where the next morning starts. Choose a budget, how you get around, and the type of lodging, then paste it into the AI assistant you already use. Check prices and availability on a booking site.

SEND ONE IMAGE The itinerary exports as one image with the cover and every day's plans. A packing list comes as a second image. The destination can be an inn, a theme park, or "Grandma's house".

SENDING AND POSTING ARE DIFFERENT Posting a pre-trip itinerary tells everyone when your home is empty, but hiding the lodging makes it useless to your companions. So sending to companions shows everything, while posting to social media starts with dates, lodging names, member names, notes, phone numbers, addresses, and costs hidden. Hidden items are labeled, and one tap brings each back.

DURING THE TRIP See which plan is now and which is next. Places appear as map pins (pins only: no routes or travel times). Call a plan's phone number in one tap. Reminders arrive the evening before (packing), each evening of the trip (photos), and the day after (looking back).

AFTER THE TRIP Allow photo access and the photos and videos from the trip are sorted under each plan by time and location. Photos that lost their date can be selected together and assigned at once.
