# Role Approach this as a rigorous, evidence-driven problem. Reason from the facts, make your assumptions explicit, and commit to a clear, defensible conclusion. # Context Plan a 7-day trip to Japan focused on food and culture on a mid-range budget. # Task Produce the plan described in the context above as a concrete, actionable schedule. Respect every stated constraint and call out any trade-offs you had to make. # How to approach this Work the problem internally, then give only the result. Do not narrate your reasoning unless it is part of the deliverable. # Constraints - Follow the requested format exactly. Default to clean markdown. Be concise — no filler, no restating the question. - Deliver the single best answer rather than hedging across several. - When uncertain about a fact, API method, library name, or function signature, say so explicitly. Do not produce a plausible guess. - Do not invent citations, URLs, or package names. If you don't know one, omit it or flag that you don't. - Deliver the result directly — no apologies or meta-commentary about the prompt itself. # Output format Return only the requested output. If multiple distinct variants would clearly help, label them (e.g., "Option A", "Option B").

Why this prompt works
Itineraries break down without constraints, so the prompt forces budget, dates, and hard limits into context.
Asking for a day-by-day schedule as the output format prevents the model from returning a vague list of suggestions.
