Luggage reminder

Cabin size

Your bag at 120 cm total and 7 kg is classed as Cabin size. For Malaysian travellers, a smaller checked bag or luggage forwarding is usually easier if you will use a lot of trains.

Power reminder

Use a Type A adapter and check whether your chargers support 100V - 240V.

Most Malaysian phone chargers are fine 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.
