Start with a better question
Is a rail pass right
for your itinerary?
A pass is a tool, not a travel requirement. Compare the journeys you will actually take before deciding.
Look past the headline
See ticket prices, pass validity and eligibility together. A lower modeled total comes with its assumptions attached.
Know what we don’t know
Missing fares get a clear explanation. We never fill the gaps with guessed numbers.
The first tool · Phase 1
A small calculator.
An honest starting point.
We currently model discounted HARUKA journeys between Kansai Airport and Kyoto, Osaka, Shin-Osaka or Tennoji. Long-distance and other local routes are not yet priced.

Staying in one region?
Compare individual tickets and local options before a nationwide pass. If your verified journeys cost less than the pass, there is no price reason to choose it for those journeys alone.
Regional passes and slower local trains are not compared in Phase 1. This is not a complete search for the cheapest way to travel.
