Let's create a custom itinerary using the spots you've added to "Your List."

💡No need to worry if you’re not familiar with the area!

The spots you’ve added are automatically sorted “in order of proximity to Matsumoto Station.” You don’t have to worry about “which order is most efficient?”—the app will automatically create a smooth itinerary starting from the station.

💡 By selecting the length of time you’d like to spend at each spot—such as “I want to take my time here for an hour” or “I’ll just take a photo here and spend 15 minutes”—and choosing your mode of transportation, you can see the total duration of your itinerary. This allows you to create a more detailed schedule, even if you’re unfamiliar with the area!
