Japan Travel - Route,Map,Guide App Reviews

It wouldn’t let me sign in and never sent me an email to confirm my login or anything. Thankfully you can use it without signing in so it works.

Found this app to be super helpful during my recent trip to Japan.

Very reliable information!! Even an earthquake incoming will give notification; very helpful!!!

This was a life saver when we went to your beautiful country

This app is a good idea. Maybe it’s still being enhanced…there’s a lot of room to improve. Suggestions for searching routes: 1. Allow users to use the map to pin both start and end points. 2. When editing the start and end points, let the users to edit the locations already entered instead of typing the whole thing again. 3. Include the bus number in the route list. 4. The Map location of a subway station doesn’t pin point exactly to the station exit number…Google map works precisely on that.

Pretty much as per title. I’ve paid for the Premium version and have a Japan Rail Pass, but it still wants to charge me for tickets when I go to book them. I have chosen routes that are included free with the rail pass.

I have used the app to help determine which trains to take in my travels across Japan. The information is very accurate and I have no problem calculating the fare to pay that can be especially confusing when looking at the station boards. It also allows the user to select the route based on individual preferences (time, cost, method). Useful for both intercity and urban city train travel. Can’t recommend it enough!

Highly recommend for anybody traveling to Japan. Particularly anyone taking either the metro, Subway, or even Shinkansen. You just need to type in your starting point and destination, you can now only the quickest route, but also the fare you need to pay at the station. Worth getting the paid version since you get to see the list of stations and you have to travel.

If it’s a Japanese app, why do I have to pay for it?

As someone who’s traveled to Japan multiple times this app really doesn’t benefit the traveler, hidden costs, and just not that beneficial. There are other apps to use that can be offline. I found a website RailSensejapan.com that is a offline app. Super handy. Japan Travel can learn a thing or two from them.

This could have been a good app if it focused on its rail timetable and planning strengths. Instead, it is cluttered with distracting and irrelevant offers and information for things one can search and find in a dozen other better content sites. This obscures and undermines the rail planning function which could have made the app uniquely worthwhile. It is not a question of paying for ad-free premium, it’s a question of app focus to do one thing well instead of ten things poorly.

This app is fine but when it came down to it I just ended up using Google maps to navigate in Japan instead. The app would freeze up for me a lot and I just ended up uninstalling.

I paid $30 for a 90 day premium account partly so I wouldn’t have to deal with ads. The first thing I see when I open the app is an ad for mobile Wi-Fi.

The website is easier to use. It's so much harder to plainly get the information I want (train timetables) from the app compared to the website. Deleted the app, just using the website.
