Back to the once upon a time

Place I call, “the HOME of my SOUL”. I was born near by town of Tomonoura. A long long time ago! Went to the U.S.A. to explore my curiosities. Then found the freedom!!!!! Decided to stay! Got married. Two kids! Every trip I, we, made to my native land, Japan, our trip included Tomonoura!!!! Now my kids want to visit there as their pilgrimage! I feel so warm inside of the core of my heart when I get greeted by the sign saying “WELCOME HOME”. In Japanese! There must be so many beautiful places to visit in Japan but Tomonoura will be one of the places you can enjoy Japan’s ONCE UPON A TIME!
Reliable!

It’s very accurate. It gives you the exact time and information of where to go. Now, I am an expert with trains!
Awesome app!

Definitely your GO TO app for finding your train options. I used this over HYPERDIA app that others recommended. The app helped me in booking and planning my trips on the Shinkansen using JR rail pass.
Very good (better than google maps)

Very smooth great for trains ferries even busses. I wish that there’d be English characters for busses so you can search for bus stops, also to be able to look up nearby busses, maybe add/incorporate stops. Also maybe even a biking route option. Finds places google maps doesn’t have. And is much easier to see all times that bus stop leaves as compared to google maps. I use google maps just to get the name of the bus stop I need sometimes and plug that into this app or use the location of the bus stop. And I’m have reach my destination. These would all be very cool extras. As it stands, this is a fantastic app.
Great app

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do it here. It must be the best app there’s to travel using your JR pass. Has good routes, can optimize for JR pass, and even shows the platform numbers which is super useful.
Must have

The amount of information given in this app is wonderful. Location of a.t.m’s, money exchange, free WiFi, and closest stations is great. Travel route are better than the app that my native japanese friend has, with multiple routes to choose from and distinct JR pass routes. Estimation on how much non JR trains cost and taxi travel is spot on. I’ve been to Japan several times and this app made this trip even easier. I utilized all its features on a daily basis. I thank the developers for a well thought out and very usable application.
Missing components!!
Mr. Chaud
I have lived in Japan for many months but still I don't get to the place on time that's why I needed a powerful app that will give me information about train schedule and status. Don't get me wrong, this app is almost perfect and I have been using it ever since the day I got here. The only missing components is "live timer", probably train status and platform number. Train's platform number is very important for those people who aren't aware to the line company name so I guess those three components are a must have.
Always changes, never much help

Even from a short distance this app cannot give you good directions and will constantly give you different routes than the original one you choose. Even when there are trains i know that are faster, the app never shows them. Pretty much useless for Americans.
