Tokyo is a city of contrasts — glass towers beside wooden shrines, bullet trains above quiet rivers. But some of its most beautiful corners lie just beyond the train lines. Cycling is one of the best ways to reach them, and now it’s easier than ever to plan.
Meet LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator, a ChatGPT-based trip planner that designs custom Tokyo itineraries in real time. You can talk to it directly inside ChatGPT, and it will create your ideal route — complete with verified Google Maps links, scenic stops, and local food recommendations.
Here’s an example showing how a traveler could use it to plan a half-day cycling tour from Asakusa, visiting both popular and hard-to-reach gems.
🌸 Step 1: Access LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator

🚴 Step 2: Tell the Curator What You Want
There are no forms or drop-down menus. You simply chat.
Traveler:
“Hi! I have half a day in Tokyo and would like to rent a bike near Asakusa. Can you plan a cycling route that includes scenic and cultural stops?”
LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator:
“That sounds wonderful! Would you prefer a relaxed riverside ride with cafés and temples, or a longer route through multiple neighborhoods?”
Traveler:
“Relaxed and scenic — I love gardens, shrines, and good coffee.”
From this brief exchange, the GPT understands everything it needs: time, pace, interests, and starting point.
🗺 Step 3: The Suggested Route — “Asakusa to the Waterways of Tokyo”
Duration: About 4 hours (half day)
Distance: ~15 km round trip
Pace: Relaxed, easy terrain
Bike Type: City bike or e-bike (rentals near Sumida Park)
🚲 Cycling Highlights
1. Start – Asakusa & Sumida Park
📍 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sumida+Park/@35.7101,139.8109,17z/
Start beside the Sumida River with Tokyo Skytree gleaming across the water. Perfect for a gentle warm-up ride.
2. Ride Along the Sumida River Promenade
Cruise south along the river, gliding past bridges, art murals, and glimpses of daily life. It’s one of the calmest, most scenic cycling paths in central Tokyo.
3. Kiyosumi Garden – Edo-Era Serenity
📍 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kiyosumi+Garden/@35.682341,139.802877,17z/
Park your bike and enjoy this peaceful garden — ponds, stepping stones, and pine reflections that feel like time travel.
4. Fukagawa Fudo-dō Temple & Tomioka Hachiman Shrine
📍 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fukagawa+Fudo-do/@35.678408,139.796259,17z/
Step inside for a traditional fire ritual. Drums echo, smoke rises — a spiritual spectacle far from Tokyo’s neon rush.
5. Coffee Break – Monzen-Nakachō
Try ARiSE Coffee Roasters or Blue Bottle Coffee Kiyosumi, both known for calm spaces and top-notch beans.
6. Eitai Bridge Viewpoint
📍 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eitai+Bridge/@35.672892,139.785940,17z/
Pause for skyline photos — Tokyo Skytree and the shimmering river framed in one shot.
7. Return to Asakusa
Follow the opposite bank north and finish your loop near Senso-ji Temple. Reward yourself with melon-pan ice cream or taiyaki from a street stall.

💡 Pro Tip: Get Your Interactive Google Maps Route
If LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator gives you a list of destinations but may not give a clickable Google Maps route immediately. If so simply type this prompt in your chat:
“Can you create an interactive Google Maps route link for this cycling itinerary?”
or, if you want to be more specific:
“Please generate a Google Maps route for my half-day cycling tour from Asakusa, showing all the stops in order.”
LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator will then return a working Google Maps link (like the one shown in this blog) — you can open it directly on your phone, switch to Cycling Directions, and follow turn-by-turn navigation.
✨ Step 4: How Personalization Works
Tell LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator what you love, and it reshapes the plan instantly.
- Prefer green spaces? It’ll route you through Kiba Park.
- Love art? Expect the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
- Traveling on a rainy day? It’ll adjust to indoor spots and covered cafés.
Every itinerary includes working Google Maps links so you can navigate confidently in Japan.
As with any AI usage, make sure to double check with the original links before finalizing your plan.
🌦 Step 5: Check the Weather
Before you ride, open the Japan Travel Weather Guide — a companion GPT that tells you what to wear and whether to bring an umbrella. Tokyo’s weather can shift quickly, and this guide helps you stay prepared.
☕ Step 6: End Like a Local
After your ride, unwind at a riverside café or explore Asakusa’s nostalgic alleys. LoKee Tokyo Itinerary Curator can even extend your day with an evening yakitori stop or a Sumida River cruise suggestion.
