Japan Trip Tools

Embed the bloom-odds calculator on your site

If you write about Japan, you can put our "will I catch it?" calculator right inside your post. Your readers enter their trip dates and see the chance of catching peak cherry blossoms or autumn leaves in the cities you pick, without leaving your page.

What you get (and what you don't)

Make your snippet

Season
Cities your readers see first
Options

Unlocked, readers can switch season and pick any of our 21 cities; locked, the widget sticks to your post's topic. Readers can always change their dates.

Preview

Copy and paste this into your post (an HTML / Custom HTML block in WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace and most other editors):

The attribution line under the frame is appreciated but optional: delete it if it does not suit your page.

Optional: let the frame size itself

The snippet uses a fixed height that fits the cities you picked on a phone. If readers switch to more cities, the widget scrolls inside its frame. To make the frame grow and shrink with the widget instead, paste this once anywhere on the page (it only listens for size messages from triptoolsjapan.com):

Questions

Will it slow my page down? The frame loads lazily (only when a reader scrolls near it) and the whole widget is a few small files from one server.

Do the numbers change? Yes, in the right way: when we update the data or add an in-season adjustment, every embedded widget shows it on the next page view. You never need to update the snippet.
