About Us
A few years ago, we set out to make planning a rail trip around Europe as easy as possible - to achieve this, we launched Interrail Planner & Eurail Planner, the free European rail planning tools. Now, we want to do the same for Japan rail travel.
In 2018, we travelled around Japan using a Japan rail pass, which was absolutely fantastic! However, while planning the trip, we were facing many of the problems we had faced when planning our first rail trips round Europe! Japan Rail needed a tool like the ones we had created for Interrail and Eurail.
So, we decided to take what we had built for European rail and adapt it to Japan rail travel, giving us Japan Rail Planner! We really hope you find it useful and that it makes planning your Japan rail trip quicker and easier. If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it, so drop us a line on Facebook or via email.
Have a great trip!

Jack's dual passions are travelling the world and building digital products that solve problems for people. So, as you'd imagine, he's delighted to be making it easier for people to plan trips to the wonderful place that is Japan! He also developed a pretty serious ramen addiction after visiting Japan - luckily, the strong ramen scene in London has managed to keep withdrawal symptoms at bay.
