Japan trips are built on the shinkansen, and that's exactly what this route animates: Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Hiroshima, connected by rail legs that follow real rail geometry across Honshu.

Load the ready-made route below, swap in your own stops -- Kanazawa, Nikko, Sapporo -- and add a photo at each city. The result is the recap video your camera roll can't make: the whole journey in one shot.

## FAQ

### Can I make a Japan travel video for free?

Yes -- load the route, customise it and export as many HD videos as you like, free (with a small badge). Pro adds 4K and removes the badge.

### Does it show the real shinkansen route?

Rail legs are routed along a real rail network rather than straight lines, so the path between Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima follows the actual corridor.

### Can I include Okinawa or Hokkaido?

Add Naha or Sapporo as stops and set those legs to flight -- mixed rail-and-flight trips work naturally.
