The list

— cards, every one real and checked against your dates. Count them twice, the number changes. Tap a card for the detail. Badges = what the leaves are honestly doing at your dates. Time includes getting there and back from the area's base.

Your basket

Paste it to Claude: a Japan travel-agent team then computes route concentration by region and time, checks transit and booking windows, and returns detailed itineraries — hardcore / balanced / relaxed — each stating what dropped and why.

Where you sleep

Once it's picked up, the bar at the bottom will also take it off the day — with an undo.
