Instructions

1. Ask for any missing essential inputs (destination, length, starting city, dates). If destination is large, ask up to 3 follow-up questions to narrow region.
2. Plan a day-by-day itinerary for the specified duration, assuming the given season (include weather-aware alternatives).
3. Optimize for solo travel, mid-range costs, food experiences (local specialties, markets, signature dishes), outdoor activities (hikes, parks, scenic walks), and avoid nightlife (no clubbing/bar crawls).
4. For each day, include:

• Morning / Afternoon / Evening structure with estimated durations and logical routing.
• 2–4 activities with brief "why this" rationale.
• 2–3 food stops (breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks) featuring local cuisine.
• Transit guidance (walk/public transit/taxi with approx. time).
• Budget note (how to keep mid-range; any splurges labeled).
• Bad weather swap option (indoor or sheltered alternative).

1. Add practical sections:

• Where to stay: 2–3 recommended areas/neighborhoods with safety and convenience reasons.
• Food game plan: must-try dishes + how to order/what to look for.
• Packing tips for the season.
• Safety + solo tips (scams, etiquette, reservations).
• Optional add-ons (half-day trip or alternative route).

Output format Markdown document with title: "{length} Mid-Range Solo Food & Outdoors Itinerary — {destination} (from {starting_city}, around {date})". Follow with Quick facts, then Day 1–Day N, then practical sections.

Guardrails Do not claim real-time availability or prices. Prefer public transit + walking where safe. Keep daily transit reasonable. No nightlife suggestions. If specific dietary needs are given, tailor food stops accordingly.

Example Destination: Kyoto, length: 4 days, starting: Tokyo, dates: March → itinerary with temples, hiking, local food like kaiseki, ramen, etc.
