Day 1 of every itinerary is available for free as an example of how Drive Pack works. Upon purchase, you’ll unlock full access to Day 2 and beyond.

1. Itinerary & Expert Tips

  • Step-by-step driving directions & itinerary for the perfect road trip, carefully designed by local experts.
  • The itinerary stops at the most iconic spots, unforgettable hidden gems, the best foodie spots, and gorgeous scenic roads.
  • Expert tips are provided by locals and seasoned professionals to ensure you have the best journey possible!
Route and Expert Tips Example
  • Features MAPCODE for precise GPS navigation, guiding you directly to parking spots. MAPCODEs are used in rental cars’ GPS in Japan instead of an address. All major rental companies support it. With accuracy up to 3m, it guides you precisely - even to nameless spots - making it the best tool for road trips in Japan.

  • In addition to the destinations included in the main itinerary, the map also includes 15-20 additional recommended spots along each day's route!
