Travel decisions before travel content

Japan Shortlist exists to help international visitors make practical Japan travel decisions with confidence. The first MVP focuses on one high-stress question: where to stay in Tokyo for a first Japan trip.

What this platform is

It is an English-first decision-support platform. Pages are structured around conditions, trade-offs, source records, and next actions rather than long generic recommendation lists.

What this platform is not

It is not a review site, booking engine, AI planner, saved-trip app, or large article library. Recommendations should remain explainable, source-aware, and useful even when no commercial partner link is available.
