Shinkansen Live

Your Shinkansen ticket info, always at a glance.

Scan your Shinkansen ticket, and all your journey details appear on your lock screen as a Live Activity. No more digging through your pockets or reopening apps to check your departure time or seat number.

What you'll see on your lock screen: • Departure and arrival times • Train name and number • Car and seat number • Seat class (Green Car, Reserved, or Unreserved) • Auto-updating progress bar during your journey • Countdown to departure or arrival

Easy to start: Scan a photo of your physical ticket, paste a receipt screenshot, or enter details manually. The app recognizes both Japanese and English text.

Other features: • Set an arrival alarm so you don't miss your stop • Auto-updating progress based on your location • Editable fields if scanning missed anything • Works entirely on your device (no data sent anywhere)

Dynamic Island support: On iPhone 14 Pro and later, your journey info appears in the Dynamic Island.
