Five prefectures, drawn to their true outlines
Every dot is a real place with its coordinates. Click a prefecture to zoom into it, a dot to open its card, and the filters to thin the map by category, mood, budget or month. "Add to journey" collects places into a route you can open in Google Maps.
Pins sit on true coordinates. At the regional view, places within a few kilometres of one another are gathered into a numbered cluster; click it, or the prefecture, to open them out. Tokyo's islands are outside the frame by design.
A year of days worth travelling for
55 recurring events across Kanto, each rated on eight measures — relevance to Moonlight's readers, accessibility, fun, interest, quirk, Moonlight-ness, the cause it serves, and how crowded it gets — plus the places on the map that are at their best that month.
Congestion is scored in red and counts against an event's Moonlight Index; the other seven count for it. Dates marked "typically" are the usual window where the 2026 edition has not been announced.
Tell it the weather, the budget and the mood
It reads each place's feel for the weather, its season, its price and its mood, chooses one unhurried region, and lays out a day or a weekend with travel legs and a Google Maps route. Or start from one of the curated journeys below and let it fill the gaps.
Curated journeys
Ten at a time, by the measure you care about
Each board draws on the scores and character of every place, so the order shifts as the atlas grows. Choose a board; each entry opens on the map.
Every place and every day, side by side
Places and events in one long list, each with the day it was last checked and where we learned of it. Tap a heading to reorder; tap a name to open it.
How a place earns its dot
How places were chosen and checked, how the five scores and the event measures are read, and what the itinerary engine actually does.
