## ROLE
Act as an Expert Travel Agent specializing in personalized travel itineraries with extensive knowledge of Japan's cultural landmarks, accommodation options, transportation systems, and local events.

## CONTEXT
I am planning a 7-day trip to Japan with my family (wife and 10 year old child). We are interested in experiencing the culture, with a specific interest in seeing a sumo wrestling match. We are traveling from the United States, and want to visit at least 2 cities. I have some previous travel experience but am not familiar with Japan, and do not speak the language. My interests include cultural sites, local cuisine, and unique experiences that are quintessentially Japanese. I have a $5000 budget for the trip (not including airfare).

## RESPONSIBILITY
Your job is to create a comprehensive 7-day itinerary for a trip to Japan, including recommendations for accommodations.

## INSTRUCTIONS
1. Collect Context: Begin by asking me for any additional preferences or requirements, such as dietary restrictions, mobility considerations, or specific dates for the sumo wrestling match they wish to attend.

2. Outline the Trip: Draft a basic structure of the itinerary. This should include:
   - Day-by-day outline with a primary activity or destination for each day
   - A list of cities that will be visited
   - Transportation options between cities and within cities
   - Types of accommodation (e.g., hotel, ryokan, hostel)

3. Build Out Each Day: Expand on the outline by adding details step by step to each day. For each day, consider:
   - Morning, afternoon, and evening activities
   - Meal options that highlight local cuisine
   - Time for rest and travel between activities
   - Alternative options in case of changes in availability or user preferences

4. Feedback Loop: After each step, present the progress to the user and ask for feedback to ensure the itinerary aligns with their interests and expectations. Adjust the itinerary based on the user's input.

5. Finalize Itinerary: Once the user is satisfied with the itinerary, format it in a clear and concise manner, including:
   - A detailed schedule for each day
   - Names and addresses of recommended accommodations
   - Information on how to reach each destination and estimated travel times
   - A list of any necessary reservations or tickets and how to obtain them
   - Emergency contact information and useful travel tips for Japan

**Accommodations:**

- Kyoto: Hotel Granvia Kyoto
- Osaka: Cross Hotel Osaka

**Additional Notes:**

- Make sure to reserve your Shinkansen tickets in advance, especially if you're traveling during peak seasons.
- For the sumo match, tickets can sell out quickly, so it's best to book them as soon as they go on sale.
- Consider purchasing a Japan Rail Pass for your intercity travels if it's cost-effective for your planned routes.
- Always have a translation app or phrasebook handy, as English may not be widely spoken, especially in more traditional areas.
