"Tabishio" is simple and easy to use!

▲ https://tabisio.com/ ▲

"Tabishio" is a service that allows you to create bookmarks directly in browsers like Chrome and Safari. The best thing about Tabishio is that you don't need to download an app or register as a member . You don't even need to register your email address, so you can start using it whenever you feel like it.

Benefits
No membership registration required
• Simple operation method
• It has a sharing function and can be edited by multiple people.
- Can be printed as a PDF (but in black and white).

Drawbacks
- Design cannot be selected
- Unable to insert images

Here's a travel itinerary I actually created on my smartphone.

I thought it was good that the overview was written first before the schedule, making it easy to read. The ability to create and add custom items to the overview section is also convenient.
You can also edit it with your friends by sharing the password and URL.Sharing the URL is also super easy; all you have to do is press the share button provided!
After completion, you can download the bookmark as a PDF and print it, but unfortunately, the design will be in black and white, unlike what you see in the browser.

There is only one design pattern (color can be changed).So, those who want to create elaborate bookmarks might find it lacking, but it's the perfect service for those who "get overwhelmed by too many options" or "want to easily organize their schedule"!

Canva is a well-known design creation tool, but did you know you can also use it to create travel itineraries? It offers a wide variety of templates , allowing you to create professional-quality itineraries without needing a paid subscription.

Benefits
• Abundant templates
• Collaborative editing is possible.
- Designs are added regularly.
- Can be customized to your liking
- Printable as PDF

Drawbacks
• Account registration is required.
- It takes some getting used to to operate (you might be a little confused at first).
- The effort required to find a template
• Some content is paid.

I actually used a template to create a travel itinerary on my smartphone.


The template already determines the image placement and the fields to fill in, so all you have to do is fill in the times and schedules. Even though I'm not particularly artistic, I was able to create stylish bookmarks that look just like they belong in a magazine!However, the small screen on a smartphone made it difficult to edit the finer details.Also, because it has many features, it might seem difficult for first-time users.

While it's not a dedicated bookmarking app, meaning you can't check and edit your schedule on your smartphone while on the go, this service is highly recommended for those who want to create personalized bookmarks and carry them around like a booklet.

TabiKanji is a browser service that lets you quickly create travel itineraries without registering as a member. Its appeal lies in its ease of use, as it requires no email address or app download , making it readily available whenever you need it. Amazingly, it was created by a high school freshman! Aimed at creating a design that you'd want to carry with you on your travels, it boasts a clean, uncluttered design.

Benefits
No membership registration required
- No expiration date for saving bookmarks
- Collaborative editing is possible if a password is set.
• Simple operation method
• Easy printing from your computer.
• You can choose the security level.

Disadvantages
- Design cannot be selected
- Unable to insert images

Here is the bookmark I actually created.

I found the user experience to be similar to "Tabishio," which I introduced earlier. Although there's only one design, it's easy to use, and even beginners can create a project without any trouble. Collaborative editing is possible if you set a password. I also appreciate the ability to set detailed restrictions such as "view only" and "no restrictions."

The bookmarks you create come with share buttons so you can easily share them on LINE, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) . There's also a dedicated page for printing them neatly from your computer, making it perfect for those who prefer to carry a physical copy as a PDF!

"tabiori" - Share with friends and enjoy traveling together

▲ https://tabiori.com/ ▲

tabiori is a free smartphone app (compatible with iOS and Android). Once installed, you can create and view your travel itinerary anytime, anywhere. It's the perfect service for group and family trips, making planning your trip together fun!

Benefits
- Itinerary and lists can be edited intuitively.
- Features such as chat and image sharing can be completed within the app.
• Collaborative work is possible
- You can record your travel memories as photos and notes.

Drawbacks
- Some features require a paid plan subscription.
- A data transmission fee of 299 yen + printing fee will be charged when printing. *1
- There is only one template available. *1
• Low image file size
*This applies to free users. Conditions differ for paid plans.

Here are some bookmarks I actually created using the app. I didn't use any paid features; everything was created for free.

You can freely change the cover photo, so you can enjoy the visuals to match the atmosphere of each trip.You can also insert map links and photos of your destination into your schedule.It's easy to see at a glance where you want to go, and you can rest assured even if you get lost.

Even more convenient is the checklist function. You can manage your belongings, tasks, and things to be aware of at your destination by categorizing them in detail , which helps prevent you from accidentally forgetting anything.

Each itinerary comes with a chat function , allowing you to instantly handle schedule changes and quick consultations within the app! However, to fully utilize tabiori's benefits, such as the chat function, all members of your travel group need to register for the app . This might be a bit of a hurdle for those who aren't very familiar with smartphones or who prefer to avoid installing apps.

Perfect for gathering information about "nicody"!

Nicody is a travel planning app that lets you create stylish and cute travel itineraries (the app is only available for iOS; Android users can use the browser version). You can also search for spots and view travel itineraries created and published by other users, making it a great tool for gathering information before your trip!

Benefits
• You can search for tourist spots using hashtags.
• Collaborative work is possible
- You can select the editing members.
- You can record your travels on the map.
- Viewable even for those who haven't downloaded the app.

Drawbacks
- Some features require a paid plan subscription.
• Some spots are not registered.
- Printing is not possible.

Here are some bookmarks I actually created using the app. I didn't use any paid features; everything was created for free.

When I selected Miyako Island as my destination, it automatically set a cover photo that looked like it was from Okinawa. The cover instantly became stylish, and it really boosted my spirits.

One of the good things about Nicody is that you can input "spots" when creating an itinerary.When you search for and add a place you want to visit, information such as the official website, opening hours, address, and reviews for that spot will be automatically displayed.Since I don't need to look things up again on Google, planning my trip is much smoother!

However, newly opened shops and lesser-known locations may not yet be registered as spots . In such cases, you will need to research and enter the information yourself, which can make the search process a little more time-consuming.

Key points to consider when choosing a travel itinerary creation service.

There are many tools for creating travel itineraries, but the key points to consider when choosing one are "who you're traveling with," "how you want to use it," and "how much effort you're willing to put in."

If you just want to create something quickly and easily, try "Tabishio" or "Tabikanji." If you want to create a visually appealing bookmark with a focus on design, try "Canva." If you want to share with a group in real time, try "tabiori." If you want to create a bookmark while gathering travel information, try "nicody." The best tool for you will depend on your purpose and how you plan to use it.

Check factors like whether or not you need to register as a member, how to share your itinerary, the degree of design freedom, and the variety of templates available, and choose the perfect itinerary creation tool to suit your travel style and relationship with your travel companions!
