A Django web application to guide a fun, randomized trip in Japan. The app selects random tourism sites within a specified distance and provides relevant information (descriptions, homepage URLs, Google Maps integration).

Note: Currently optimized for Japanese tourism sites. Select "All" if you are outside of Japan.

• Random tourism site selection within specified radius
• User authentication and trip management
• Activity categorization (Tourism, Food, Lodging)
• Geographic coordinate-based site filtering
• Web scraping for tourism data collection

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Chrome browser (for web scraping functionality)
• Git

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd random-trip

2. Create and activate virtual environment

   python -m venv myenv
   source myenv/bin/activate  # On Windows: myenv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up the database

   python manage.py makemigrations
   python manage.py migrate

5. Collect static files

   python manage.py collectstatic

1. Start the development server

   python manage.py runserver

2. Open your browser and navigate to

   http://127.0.0.1:8000/
   

1. Register/Login: Create an account or log in to manage your trips
2. Set Location: Enter your current location coordinates
3. Choose Radius: Select the search radius in kilometers
4. Get Random Site: Click the roulette to get a random tourism site
5. Manage Trips: Create and organize your trips with activities

Problem: Django blocks requests from 127.0.0.1:8000.

Solution:

• Add '127.0.0.1' to ALLOWED_HOSTS in config/settings.py

Problem: Geolocation fails with error code 2.

Solution:

• macOS: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Location Services
  • Enable Location Services
  • Allow your browser to access location
• Browser Settings: Allow location access for localhost
• Manual Fallback: Enter coordinates manually when GPS fails

When GPS fails, you can enter coordinates manually:

• Tokyo: 35.6762, 139.6503
• Osaka: 34.6937, 135.5023
• Kyoto: 35.0116, 135.7681
• Yokohama: 35.4437, 139.6380
• Nagoya: 35.1815, 136.9066
