Usually, an app such as this one is only offered in the local App Store. This app is likely only available to a user in Japan with a registered Japanese Apple Account.

It would be highly unusual for an app to be written in English if the only ones who could get access to it were those who had Apple accounts registered in Japan (i.e., namely native Japanese speakers who may not know a lot of English). Making it available to a wider audience would promote travel in Japan. As I expect:


I am in the USA. I just did a search for "Japan Transit Planner" on my iPhone and it is second down in the list of offered downloads.

That makes sense.


"Japan Transit Planner-Norikae Annai is a multilingual version of the navigation application "Norikae Annai", the most downloaded in Japan.


It will show you the route or how to transfer by railways or airplanes in Japan.


It can check the route, the fare, and the required time easily as long as you input the departure station and the destination station.


Besides, you can caculate the accurate required time and the ride time since it contains the timetable of all the stations all over Japan (except for some sections)."
