About Shioriba
Last updated: Nov 8, 2026
Shioriba (しおりば) puts a trip into one short, ready-to-use plan: times, places, how to get between them, costs and where to book. It is free and needs no sign-up.
1. Who runs it
- Shioriba is run by an individual Japanese traveler, as part of Waka Travel (https://waka-travel.com/). The same person also makes Story Travel and 最短巡旅 (a tool that works out the order to visit places), currently in Japanese.
2. How the English itineraries are made
- The itineraries marked “Made by Shioriba” are model plans, not travel diaries. Opening hours, closing days, prices, whether you need to book and seasonal service were checked on official websites (facilities, transport operators and local governments).
- Prices or booking details that could not be confirmed are left blank rather than guessed. Prices are per person and a guide only.
- The English pages are translations of the Japanese plans. Times, prices, map positions and links come from the same data as the Japanese version. If the English and Japanese differ, the Japanese version is correct.
- Place names show the Japanese next to the English so you can match signs at stations or show them to staff. Links marked “Japanese” open pages that are only in Japanese.
3. What we don't do
- We share travel information only. We do not sell, book or arrange hotels, transport or tours. Please book on the linked sites yourself.
- The English pages currently show no ads or affiliate links.
- Posting, saving and editing plans are available in Japanese only. Plans posted by travelers are not shown in English.
4. Before you go
- Times, prices and booking rules change. Always check the official information on the linked pages before your trip.
5. Contact
