About Japan Travel - Smart Transit
Key Features
[Route Search]
Find the best route anywhere in Japan in seconds — shinkansen, JR, subways, local trains, buses, taxis, ferries and flights. Choose from 50+ rail and unlimited-ride passes such as the Japan Rail Pass, JR TOKYO Wide Pass and Tokyo Subway Ticket, and see which legs your pass covers, which cost extra, and what you actually pay. See which car to board and which platform, whether to board a bus at the front or rear and pay when boarding or getting off, a 6-level crowding forecast per leg, and less crowded trains just before or after. Searches factor in real-time train and shinkansen delays and show detours around them. You can also set a slower walking speed for large luggage, or search for routes with fewer stairs, staying dry in the rain, or step-free access.
Hold your IC card (Suica, PASMO and more) to your phone to check its balance, and find luggage storage along your route.
