Odigo recently updated their website with a lot of cool stuff, so if you haven't been in a while you should check it out! For those of you who don't know, Odigo is a free Japan travel website that lists all the best travel spots in Japan (ranked by users), which you can use to make your own trip. You can add these spots to your itinerary and Odigo will calculate how long it will take to travel between them (by using google maps, which it links you to so you can also check alternate routes) and how much it costs, so you can actually plan out your whole itinerary right on the website for free, and then save/print it in a couple different ways!
You can also book everything through the website as well, from hotels and flights to tours and activities like dressing up as a geisha, going snorkeling, making Japanese crafts, etc.
And Odigo is now open as a community with real life rewards. If you sign up you get points for contributing to the community, like writing tips on location spots, writing articles for the website, or even just following people and signing in each day. 1 point = 1 yen, and when you reach 5,000 points (~$50) you can cash it out as a gift card. We've earned about $500 in Amazon gift cards so far! :p
As you earn points you rise in rank and if you reach the upper ranks like Ambassador you can actually be selected to start working for Odigo in other ways like getting sponsorships to travel Japan and make videos (like us), or get paid to write blog posts about spots Japan! :D
