Use Claude Code to plan and revise a Japan trip
A traveler used Claude Code to organize a 14-day Japan itinerary, create an offline trip page, and edit the plan from a phone while traveling.
- What they did
- They stored trip ideas and decisions in an Obsidian vault, then fed Claude Code details in small steps, one question at a time. They also kept track of suggestions, options they ruled out, and advice from friends, while asking Claude to review each city segment before locking it in. Claude built a private trip page for offline use, packaged as a single HTML file on Vercel, with day-by-day sections, QR codes for bookings, train help, taxi notes, and simple lists.
- How it went
- It handled a 14-day Kyoto-Hakone-Tokyo trip. During the journey, they could change timing, refresh the page, and update calendar items from a phone through the Claude session left open at home, often in just a few minutes. They also added one stop on the fly without first looking at the venue’s website, and it turned out to be shut.
- Tips
- If you want the page available offline, open it while you still have internet so the cache is set. Before adding a place, check the venue’s own hours or status first.
