What the connector can do

explore_tokyo

Search the collection by free text, category, tag, neighbourhood, or "near X". Understands travel wording: temples finds shrines, coffee finds cafes, cherry blossom spots finds the sakura tag.

place_details

One place plus everything walkable from it, with walk times, station, cost, and best time to go.

tokyo_itinerary

The 9 curated walking routes. Asking for one draws its line on the map with walk times between stops.

tokyo_neighbourhood

A written area guide with what to see, where to eat and drink, where to stay, and how to do it in a day.

tokyo_events

What is on between two dates, from the weekly-refreshed events calendar.

Why it is different

Most travel data in AI assistants is scraped from listings and review aggregators. This collection was chosen by hand by Daniel, who lived in Tokyo for a year around Sasazuka and Hatagaya and goes back regularly, and every entry carries the practical details a visitor needs: nearest station, cost band, how long to allow, and the best time to go. The connector serves that data directly, so an assistant can reason over real neighbourhoods and walk times instead of guessing.

Prefer a browser? The same collection is at the interactive Tokyo travel map, the neighbourhood guides, and the walking itineraries. Site owners can also embed the map.
