How it's used
Refers specifically to the duration or the experience of a trip rather than just the destination. While it can mean a physical route, it is frequently used in a metaphorical sense to describe a period of personal growth or a long process. It carries a slightly more formal or literary tone compared to the common word 旅行.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 旅行, which is a verb meaning to travel. Use 旅程 when referring to the journey or itinerary itself as a noun, but use 旅行 when talking about the act of going on a trip.
