How it works + an example trip

HOW THE TRIP BOARD WORKS

Build a dated trip from checked records

The choices below shape one source-linked brief. They do not check live availability or fill gaps with guesses.

  1. Choose what matters

    Select travel dates, up to eight destinations, a value or ease priority, and optional no-car or first-visit context.

  2. Dates filter official events

    An event appears only when its verified date range overlaps your stay. Dates do not imply that tickets, seats or venues are available now.

  3. Destinations shape the pass check

    Selected places identify checked route segments. The board compares individual tickets with passes only when fare, coverage and eligibility records are complete enough.

  4. Facts keep their sources

    Official links and checked dates stay beside the event, route and pass facts. Missing or stale details remain visible as unknowns.

  5. Copy or share the brief

    Copy the result as Markdown or plain text, download it, or copy a share link that restores the same selections in another browser.

EXAMPLE ONLY — NOT YOUR TRIP

What one completed state can contain

This sample is assembled from the same checked records as the tool. Make your own selections below to replace it.

Selected dates
12 September 2026–28 October 2026
Selected destinations
Central Sendai and Matsushima
Event match
Kandinsky: The World Resonates appears because its verified event dates overlap the example dates.
Transport check
Central Sendai–Matsushima adds a checked route segment. Individual tickets remain in the comparison alongside Sendai Marugoto Pass; the board calculates the result instead of assuming a pass wins.
Brief and sharing
The generated brief can be copied as Markdown or plain text, downloaded, or shared with a link that restores these selections.

Re-entry is allowed, and holders of consecutive wristbands may remain in the same seat between blocks; unattended belongings may be held at changeover. The organiser published the 2026 performance schedule on 22 September, with separate 10 and 11 October timetables and a full PDF. Use that official schedule to choose your teams and venues, and recheck it before visiting for changes.

Pokémon × Crafts: Beauty and Artistry

  • Tohoku History Museum, Tagajo
  • Adults ¥1,600 (advance ¥1,400); elementary, junior-high and high-school students ¥800 (advance ¥600); preschool children free

Contemporary Japanese crafts inspired by Pokémon, at the Tohoku History Museum in Tagajo. This is outside central Sendai. Some works rotate between the first display period, 10 October-15 November, and the second, 17 November-27 December; do not assume every work is visible throughout. Plan around the museum's closing days and check its official ticket information before travelling. Reservations for related talks and photo sessions are separate from ordinary exhibition admission; a full session does not establish that the exhibition is sold out.

Uminomori Halloween 2026

  • Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium
  • Normal daytime adult admission ¥2,400. Selected-day lantern workshop ¥800 extra. Separate night admission: 31 October adult ¥2,500; eligible annual-pass holders ¥300 on either night. Other age categories have different rates.

Halloween-themed tanks and daytime performances run during the seasonal programme. The lantern workshop is for elementary-school age and older, on its four announced dates only, with limited places; it is not a daily activity. The night programme is separate: 25 October is for annual-pass holders only, while 31 October also admits general visitors. Both nights require a dedicated night ticket purchased online; a daytime ticket or annual pass alone cannot be used for night entry. No night tickets are sold at the on-site counter or machines, and no shuttle bus operates for the night events. Check the operator's booking links and access information before travelling; live availability is not reported here.

    USEFUL FOR THIS TRIP

    Short decision pages

    Only a small set of maintainable, source-aware guides.

    Verified guide Naruko Gorge, central Akiu or Yamadera for autumn leaves? Yamadera has the cleanest car-free chain and the hardest walk. Central Akiu is the easiest day to shorten, but the bus details decide whether it works. Naruko Gorge has the strongest scenery case and the weakest last mile. Current colour is not knowable in advance for any of them, so choose on transport and walking fit unless a dated first-party report already covers your date. Official source: Osaki City, Naruko Gorge destination page · Checked on 27 August 2026 Verified guide Four day trips from Sendai, and how to choose Matsushima is the easy one and works as a same-morning decision. Yamadera is a climb and gives nothing to anyone who does not do it. Akiu is a bath, not a view. Zao is two different trips depending on the month and needs planning. Official source: JR East fare revision, 14 March 2026 · Checked on 2 August 2026 Verified guide Sendai through the year The 2026 jazz festival and Oktoberfest have ended. Sencla is confirmed for 2-4 October and YOSAKOI for 10-11 October. Blossom and autumn-colour timing still move with the weather. The Pageant organiser is preparing its 2026 edition, but the official pages rechecked on 28 September did not establish its lighting dates; the overview still describes 2025.

    WHY TRUST THIS

    Sources, freshness, and honest gaps

    The board distinguishes official schedules from manually checked information and stale records. It never treats a static build as live availability.
