RailAround - Japan Railway

About

RailAround is a Japan railway travel app for exploring the national rail network, timetable-based train movement, and sights near stations—all on one map. Train positions are estimated from timetable data. Look up lines, stations, and railway companies, and discover 6,600+ places: castles, shrines, onsen, museums, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and more. Record your journeys, collect completion badges, and challenge your knowledge with the Railfan Test. This is more than a route map. It is a Japan railway world for watching, playing with time, searching, recording, collecting, and challenging yourself. [Please note] Train positions are not live GPS and not official operation information. Delays, cancellations, temporary changes, and platform changes may not be shown.
