# All-days source and decision log · 6 October 2026

This extends the Day 17 log in [verification.md](verification.md). Flights, company timing, bookings and seat numbers come from the user handoff; they are not live airline confirmations. Route budgets/cutoffs are our planning choices. Timetable publication is not seat availability. Source pages were inspected on 6 October. No purchases, hotel messages or personal booking access were performed.

## Day 13 · Priority 2

- [Tobu current limited-express timetable](https://www.tobu.co.jp/railway/special_express/timetable/) links to the [outbound PDF](https://www.tobu.co.jp/pdf/timetable/time-table_01_kudari.pdf?202603=) and [return PDF](https://www.tobu.co.jp/pdf/timetable/time-table_01_nobori.pdf?202603=), revision 14 March 2026. PDFs visually inspected: Revaty Kegon 3 Asakusa 07:00→Tobu-Nikko 08:54, Revaty Kegon 46 Tobu-Nikko17:22→Asakusa19:15 appear without weekend-only restriction. These are suggested booking targets, not booked seats. Use the passenger's actual ticket carriage; combined Revaty services can split. Fare + express supplement are separate from bus-only passes.
- [Tobu Asakusa](https://www.tobu.co.jp/railway/guide/station/info/1102/) and [express boarding guide](https://www.tobu.co.jp/railway/special_express/platform/) support distinguishing Tobu from Metro and TX. Do not assign a fixed platform from the old photo.
- [Tobu Bus Nikko area page](https://www.tobu-bus.com/pc/area/nikko/) links [2026 English timetable/map](https://www.tobu-bus.com/pc/assets/pdf/nikko_timetable_summer_en.pdf?20260408), valid 1 April–30 November 2026. Both pages visually inspected. Station stop2; C uses2C, Y/YK uses2A, express2E. Chuzenji stop26, return26B; Shinkyo7; Nishisando Iriguchi9. Main targets C09:35→Chuzenji10:20; return13:10→Shinkyo13:55. No guarantee during autumn congestion.
- [Bus pass page](https://www.tobu-bus.com/pc/service/ticket/nikko.html): Chuzenji-onsen Free Pass 2 days, adult¥2,300. Covers relevant mountain and world-heritage bus area; rail not included. Digital QR/activation requirements apply. Tourist centre08:20–16:20. Not all digital tickets work as screenshots.
- [Tobu destination guide](https://www.tobu.co.jp/en/sightseeing/cp/summernikko/) supports Kegon/Lake access; [Nikko Toshogu](https://www.toshogu.jp/) is the external current-admission reference. Specific Toshogu admission time could not be reliably extracted, so the app instructs checking the gate/current page rather than promising entry. Leave shrine area by16:00, station target16:40 for17:22; these are conservative planning cutoffs. Severe congestion triggers town-only Plan B.

## Day 18 · Priority 3

- [YCAT services](https://www.ycat.co.jp/guide/service/): staffed temporary baggage storage Lobby2, ¥1,000/item/day; published usage04:30–01:00. Confirm actual desk acceptance and pickup when depositing. The site does not clearly publish the stored-suitcase size limit. The 50×60×120cm/30kg statement elsewhere in [YCAT FAQ](https://www.ycat.co.jp/faq/) belongs to a bus luggage section; it is NOT used to certify storage acceptance. Suitcase54×40×78cm must be shown to staff. No locker Plan A.
- [Station-to-YCAT access](https://www.ycat.co.jp/access/station2ycat/) and [Lobby2 plan](https://www.ycat.co.jp/guide/floormap/2nd_lobby/): Yokohama East / Sky Building1F. Follow actual elevator signage; precise elevator turns not certified. Cached YCAT photo is Lobby1, clearly labelled, not an alleged storage desk photo.
- [JR Kawasaki](https://www.jreast.co.jp/estation/station/info.aspx?StationCd=526), [Yokohama](https://www.jreast.co.jp/estation/station/info.aspx?StationCd=1638), [Kamakura](https://www.jreast.co.jp/estation/station/info.aspx?StationCd=476) and [Kamakura timetable](https://timetables.jreast.co.jp/en/timetable/list0476.html): Tokaido KawasakiJT04→YokohamaJT05; change after depositing luggage to YokosukaJO13→KamakuraJO07, six local stops. Avoid Tokaido trains bound Odawara when heading Kamakura. Platform numbers remain dynamic.
- [Enoden route map](https://www.enoden.co.jp/train/map/) / [Hase](https://www.enoden.co.jp/train/station/hase/): KamakuraEN15→HaseEN12 via WadazukaEN14 and YuigahamaEN13; return reverse. JR/Enoden gates separate. [Hachimangu](https://www.hachimangu.or.jp/), [Kotoku-in](https://www.kotoku-in.jp/) and [Hasedera guide](https://www.hasedera.jp/guide/) are destination references. Hasedera normal admission08:00–16:30, closes17:00. Avoid adding Enoshima when late; return Enoden by~16:00 is a planning cutoff.
- [YCAT Haneda route](https://www.ycat.co.jp/route/haneda/) and [Sunday timetable](https://www.ycat.co.jp/route/haneda/ycat2haneda/) inspected live: adult¥800, first-come seated capacity, no toilet. Sunday19:42→T3 20:23,19:57→20:38,20:12→20:53,20:27→21:08. Some buses terminateT2. Last comfortable suggestion20:27 is not the last service; main19:42. Gate/bay not certified from an old image, so ask/inspect current Haneda sign. Boarding earlier if queued is permitted.
- [Keikyu T3](https://www.keikyu.co.jp/ride/kakueki/KK16.html) is rail fallback. From YokohamaKK37 choose an airport-bound service; if no direct service ask staff for Keikyu-Kamata change. Do not confuse JR Kamata and Keikyu Kamata. Taxi is staff-assisted last resort when rail/bus are disrupted, not an extra ordinary route choice.

## Day 12 / 14 · airports and suitcase

- [Hong Kong transfer guide](https://www.hongkongairport.com/en/passenger-guide/transfer-transit/) supports security and transfer desk if no onward boarding pass. HKG times from handoff, no invented gate. NRT-tag check at BKK is required.
- [Keisei Skyliner](https://www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/skyliner/us/index.php): reserved-seat express Narita→Keisei-Ueno. Chosen Main Day12: Skyliner + taxi to hotel, one simple rail ride and taxi last mile. This trades extra taxi cost for avoiding a large-suitcase paid/unpaid subway transfer. Metro alternative has fewer taxi costs but more station walking; not promoted as primary.
- [Toyoko Tawaramachi official](https://www.toyoko-inn.com/search/detail/00226?lcl_id=en):3-19-5 Kotobuki, Tawaramachi exit2 about3min; [Metro accessibility](https://www.tokyometro.jp/lang_en/station/tawaramachi/accessibility/index.html) has separate elevator-only entrances serving each platform, not a promise that exit2 is step-free. Arrival uses taxi and evening walks to avoid this complication. Senso-ji/Asakusa walking uses [Senso-ji](https://www.senso-ji.jp/) and official tourism; no street left/right geometry invented.
- [Toyoko luggage FAQ](https://www.toyoko-inn.com/faq/content?cd=12&facility_cd=toyoko-inn-qa&intent_cd=inquiry.checkin_start_time&lang=ja) says checkout-day storage; branch timing/size still ask. Optional Ueno requires successful hotel storage and returning to retrieve luggage.
- [Keisei access guide](https://new-www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/skyliner/jp/traffic/index.php?id=station_map) distinguishes Main Line via Keisei-Narita from Sky Access/Skyliner. Day14 intentionally goes to AirportT2·3 first to use a staffed luggage counter, then Main Line one station back to Keisei-NaritaKS40. Slight backtracking buys a predictable big-bag plan; no unsafe city locker assumption.
- [NRT storage listing](https://www.narita-airport.jp/en/service/delivery/storage/) lists JAL ABC landsideT2 1F; [JAL ABC storage](https://www.jalabc.com/en/hands-freetravel/baggage-storage.html) is the provider. Counter must confirm size/weight/fee/return cutoff and provide receipt; do not treat delivering luggage as storage. If not accepted, skip town and check into9h with staff help.
- [Naritasan access](https://www.naritasan.or.jp/access/) supports Keisei/JR Narita on foot; app uses Keisei West towardJR/Omotesando. [nine hours Narita](https://ninehours.co.jp/narita):P2 B1 connectedT2 landside; luggage space assigned by reception, not assumed to fit capsule locker. Retrieve counter luggage before checking in.

## Day 15 / 16 · company programme

- Company timing and overnight hotels from handoff. NRT meeting Terminal/floor/gate, driver/contact and Kamikochi parking/meet-up remain user-organiser dependencies. App labels pin suggestions as orientation, NOT confirmed meeting points.
- [Narai tourism](https://www.naraijuku.com/), [Matsumoto Castle](https://www.matsumoto-castle.jp/) and [Okaya city hotel listing](https://www.city.okaya.lg.jp/material/files/group/51/R8miryokutirasi.pdf) support landmarks/address Crown Hills Okaya中央町1-7-13. Hotel's site could not be verified; municipality source used. Matsumoto currently announces external maintenance24Aug–31Oct2026. Thirty-minute company stop is exterior-first, not a promise of tower admission.
- [Kamikochi official walking routes](https://www.kamikochi.org/thingstodo/walking): terminal↔Kappa about6min; Taisho→Kappa roughlyonehour, allow60–90min. Main stays nearKappa; Taisho option works only with company drop-offTaisho and agreed pickupnearterminal. It is explicitly conditional; no round-trip fromKappa forced into4h lunch window. Mountain route status and forecast must be checked on day16.
- [Smile official](https://smile-hotels.com/hotels/nihombashimitsukoshimae/) and [Tokyo Tower official access](https://en.tokyotower.co.jp/access/) support hotel/address and optional visit. Direct taxi chosen as simple discretionary outing; no taxi fare/time guarantee. Skip when late/tired.

## Day 11 / 19 · flights and recovery

- Flight schedule/connection/baggage expectation from handoff only. [Haneda flight search](https://tokyo-haneda.com/en/flight/int_search.html), [VietJet connection FAQ](https://www.vietjetair.com/en/FAQ/faqs---connecting-flights-17037598971150), [Hong Kong Airlines](https://www.hongkongairlines.com/) and [BKK airport](https://suvarnabhumi.airportthai.co.th/) linked for current status. Airline FAQ covers varying itinerary types; it does not independently certify this booking's through baggage. Tag BKK/actual boarding passes and transfer staff control SGN handling. Do not exit immigration independently if unsure. English emergency text accompanies Japanese outside Japan.
- Pretrip: eSIM device/provider instructions, Nikko pass + express reservations, save tickets privately, cache app, download PDF. No SIM chosen, reservation or booking QR invented. Lounge access from personal booking remains unverified and optional.

## Real images and known limits

23 local Commons photographs; full source/year/author/licence in `data/photos.json` and the viewer. All16 newly added images visually inspected together before use, with ambiguous views clarified. Great Buddha image is a close portrait, not a full-statue entrance view. Yomeimon is inside paid shrine grounds. YCAT image is Lobby1 only. Company photos do not identify actual bus parking. Individual CC licences apply to images; thumbnail resizing without crop/content edit. No AI landmarks.

Missing route-specific images (hotel entrances, some gates/elevators, A2, airport/SGN counter) use actual Maps/operator deep links and a visible “ยังไม่มีภาพในเครื่อง” state. Historical photos verify recognition, not current routes/opening/track assignment. This package is a complete all-day navigator with explicit unresolved field details, not a claim of in-person inspection.


## Day 13 booking update · 7 October 2026

Supersedes the suggested outbound Kegon 3 above. Read three purchase-confirmation emails dated 6 October in the user's mailbox: outbound Revaty Kegon 001, 13 Oct06:30 Asakusa →08:25 Tobu-Nikko, car6/03A; return046,17:22→19:15, car1/08A; both one adult. Purchased NIKKO PASS world heritage area ¥3,000, one adult, valid13–14Oct. These are email purchase confirmations, not a live service-status check. No account/customer/transaction identifiers or QR copied into app/package.

Current [Tobu World Heritage pass page](https://www.tobu.co.jp/en/ticket/nikko/city.html), inspected7Oct, includes one Asakusa–Shimo-Imaichi round trip plus local Tobu rail in the indicated area and heritage-area buses; express supplement/admission separate. Mountain bus to Chuzenji/Kegon is outside this pass. Preserve the user's mountain itinerary conditionally with separate mountain bus payment; do not silently cancel/upgrade an already-purchased ticket. [Tobu bus passes](https://www.tobu-bus.com/pc/service/ticket/nikko.html) lists Chuzenji-onsen pass adult¥2,300. No mountain-bus purchase confirmation found in the relevant mails.

Depart hotel05:30, target Tobu Asakusa05:55–06:00. Digital tickets purchased directly online: open My Page/Tickets list before leaving, follow live activation/display instructions. The email gives Tourist Information Center Asakusa07:20 opening, later than the06:30 train; do not tell the user to wait there for a paper exchange. Staff at the actual station gate resolve any ticket-display problem. Nikko arrival08:25 adds29minutes; keep09:35 bus target for a comfortable ticket/pause buffer rather than inventing an earlier departure.


## Superseding Day13 scope: heritage-only · 7 October

User removed the mountain itinerary. New route: Asakusa→Tobu-Nikko→Shinkyo→Toshogu→Futarasan→Rinnoji if time→station→Asakusa. Mountain bus purchase advice above is superseded. World heritage pass matches this area; admissions remain separate.

[2026 bus map](https://www.tobu-bus.com/pc/assets/pdf/nikko_timetable_summer_en.pdf?20260408), p2 visually checked: W World Heritage from2B; Shinkyo7 afterYasukawacho6. No fixed departure promised; driver/current sign confirms stop/pass. Take the city bus to reduce walking. Return fromShinkyo, or staff-confirmed Taiyuin/Futarasan stop if Rinnoji skipped; avoid express services bypassingShinkyo.

[Futarasan official tourism](https://www.visitnikko.jp/en/spots/nikko-futarasan-jinja-shrine/) confirms Sannai shrine and Shinen garden¥300 cash. Garden not required. Shrine site failed to load, so no unverified hours promised. [Rinnoji visitor page](https://www.rinnoji.or.jp/2): Apr–Oct08–17,lastentry16:30; Sanbutsudo¥400, statedvisit10–20min. Choose onlySanbutsudo; Taiyuin not added. Walking times are planning estimates.

Futarasan torii photo: Commons file Futarasan Shrine (Nikko) torii.JPG, SaigenJiro,27Nov2015,CC0. Actual image inspected; one viewpoint, not a guaranteed entry fromToshogu. Rinnoji uses official link: 2013 construction-wrapper photos rejected for navigation.

Keep05:30 hotel,06:00 gate,booked00106:30–08:25. Lunch12:15–13:15,optionalRinnoji13:15–14:15. Returnstart~15:30,stationtarget16–16:30,booked04617:22. New Day13 progress key prevents restoring a former mountain-card position.
