Common questions
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. The free plan gives you full access to all regions and spot browsing across Japan, plus one AI-generated trip itinerary. No credit card required.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel anytime from your account settings. Your Pro access continues until the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again.
What exactly is a "premium spot"?
Premium spots include insider tips, hidden highlights, best-time-to-visit advice, and detailed access notes that go beyond what's in standard guidebooks. Every one has been hand-picked and verified.
How does the AI trip planner work?
Tell the planner your dates, interests, and travel pace. It generates a day-by-day itinerary using Tobira's curated spot database. Free users get one plan; Pro users get unlimited plans.
Is this really curated by a local?
Yes. Tobira is run by one person living in Japan. Every spot has been personally visited or carefully verified — nothing is scraped from review sites or generated by AI.
How often is content updated?
New spots and tips are added monthly. Pro members automatically get access to new premium spots as soon as they're published.
