I’m going to meet a woman who’s open to a Type C arrangement. She lives fairly far away—about 40 minutes by bullet train—and when I offered to have her come to my area, she said she’d be okay with meeting in her hometown instead. So I’m planning to go there. Since it’ll be in the evening due to her work schedule, and I’m unfamiliar with the area, how should I plan the schedule—where to eat, the hotel, the time of the last train home, and so on?

If you ask ChatGPT or Gemini, they can probably look it up for you. Just make sure your prompt (instructions) is clear, then keep bouncing ideas off them and asking follow-up questions. They can put together pretty good travel plans in chronological order.

You should be able to figure that out yourself.

> How should I plan things like the restaurant, hotel, and the time of the train home? For the restaurant, you can search for places that fit your preferences—such as restaurants with private rooms—by looking up dining options. For the hotel, you can use hotel search sites, or sites specializing in love hotels if that’s what you prefer. As for the train home, if you’re taking the Shinkansen, you should be able to get back in an unreserved seat even without a reserved ticket. Since it’s only about 40 minutes, it’s probably a local-type service anyway, not a train with reserved seats only. So I think all you really need to worry about is the last train. Even if you miss the last train, there should be business hotels available. How you plan the schedule is up to you. These days, you can search and make reservations online, so I don’t think it’s particularly difficult. Even back before the internet, you could gather quite a bit of information through services like NIFTY-Serve when computer networks existed. And even before that, you could probably find information in books. There were train timetable magazines, too.

I think you should just search online. If you can find your way to a Q&A site and post a question, you can search the internet too.
