NipponGo: Japan Transit Guide
Honest JR Pass & Suica Guide
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Japan's transit system is the best in the world, and also the most confusing for first-time visitors. 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, buy separately". No more guessing at the gate. The detail no other travel app offers.
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, all with exact validity badges.
SURVIVAL KIT: OFFLINE PHRASEBOOK
Essential Japanese phrases for transit emergencies: lost tickets, wrong trains, asking for help. Works fully offline. Station-rescue scenarios walk you through the exact steps.
CLEAN AND HONEST
No tracking. No sign-in required. No vaporware features: every screen in the app works, offline, on day one.
NipponGo collects no personal data. Full privacy policy at iocodo.com/apps/nippongo/privacy.
