NipponGo cuts through the complexity so you can travel confidently from day one.

HONEST JR PASS CALCULATOR
The JR Pass costs ¥50,000+ for a 7-day ordinary pass. Is it worth it for your trip? Most Golden Route itineraries don't break even. NipponGo's calculator takes your actual route, runs the real fares, and gives you a clear verdict, with a buy link only when it genuinely saves you money.

PER-LEG SUICA & JR PASS VALIDITY
Every route leg shows you exactly which card works: "Suica OK", "JR Pass covers this", "Not on JR Pass". No more guessing at the gate. The detail other travel apps leave out.

GOLDEN ROUTE COVERAGE
Tokyo inner-city lines, Narita & Haneda airport connections, the Shinkansen to Kyoto and Osaka, Kyoto sightseeing by JR, Osaka subway, and the Hiroshima to Miyajima day trip including the JR ferry, with the exact card validity marked on every leg.

SURVIVAL KIT: OFFLINE PHRASEBOOK
Essential Japanese phrases for transit emergencies: lost tickets, wrong trains, asking for help. Works fully offline. If something goes wrong at the station, we walk you through it step by step.

CLEAN AND HONEST
No account to create, and no sign-up wall. No vaporware features: every screen in the app works, offline, on day one.
