Luggage reminder
Medium checked luggage
Your bag at 120 cm total and 15 kg is classed as Medium checked luggage. This size is below the common oversized threshold, so a separate oversized baggage reservation is usually less likely. This bag should fit, but it may still be a bit tight in a small room once it is opened flat. For Malaysian travellers, a smaller checked bag or luggage forwarding is usually easier if you will use a lot of trains.
Power reminder
You need a Type G to Type A travel adapter. This device is usually safe in Japan with the right plug adapter. A short extension cord can help in hotel rooms with awkward socket placement.
This device is usually safe in Japan with the right plug adapter.

FAQ
Does the dashboard replace the individual tools?
No. It combines the existing calculators into one overview so you can plan faster, while each dedicated tool still gives the deeper breakdown.
Can I share my dashboard result?
Yes. The dashboard uses GET parameters, so the result stays in the URL and can be bookmarked or shared directly.
Does the dashboard use OpenAI automatically?
No. The first version is entirely local and reuses the existing services already in the app.
What if my trip includes more cities than days?
The route planner will warn you when the itinerary is too compressed, so you can reduce hotel changes or simplify the route.
Which airport is best for the hotel area recommendation?
The dashboard uses the selected cities and airport region to choose the closest supported hotel area guidance, then points you back to the dedicated hotel picker if you want more detail.
