Horribly Over Priced Tickets in Japan

This app charges almost double for train prices in Japan, and generally makes it more difficult to use. Do not recommend.

“Winner: global recognition award” for resellers.

With gold laurels to seem official.

Hiroshima to Tokyo: (per chatGPT)

Even if the direct fare were $430:

* Extra paid: $196
* Markup: 46%

So you likely paid about 45–60% above direct JR pricing.

The painful part is the cancellation fee:

* Keep tickets: $626
* Cancel: lose $250
* Rebuy direct (~$400)

Total cost if you cancel and rebuy:

* $250 + $400 = $650

So canceling probably costs more than keeping them.

Problem was tapped on a pop up and lead to this site. Like those hawkers I. Tourist areas: got flashed… by ease (which is worth something but not double the price(

Scam for people who don’t know railway official website and price

Use it if you want to pay double or triple price for a secondhand ticket.

Very easy

Easy to use

Super app pour les billets au Japon

Nous avons utilise l’application pour acheter les billets au Japon et c’est au top, billets direct. Merci !

Scammers

Do not ever download this app nor buy anything from this scale of a company not even a shoe string. They charge double of what tickets normally cost had you ordered from the direct vendor or an alternative site. Always always check the price of the ticket and compare with these conmen. And the icing on the cake is their cancellation fee is half of your transactional cost. Essentially they’re purchasing tickets you and I can purchase at that very moment and then sticking the cost of the ticket on the total cost. It’s one thing if the tickets were sold out but no they sell goods you can I can buy and then resell that for the double the cost. They definitely put the monster in rail monsters

Response from developer

Hi there, We’re sorry you feel this way, but we’d like to clarify a few important points. Rail Monsters provides an international ticketing service connected to multiple rail suppliers worldwide. All fares, service fees, and conditions are displayed transparently before checkout — nothing is hidden. Our service isn’t just reselling tickets; it includes customer support, cross-border booking capability, multi-language assistance, and ticket management — features not available through most local or direct platforms. We understand that prices can differ between providers due to supplier agreements, exchange rates, and dynamic inventory. However, every customer sees the full cost before confirming payment. If you’d like, we’re happy to review your specific booking and explain the exact breakdown. We take feedback seriously and are always open to improving. — The Rail Monsters Team

They truly are monsters!

You are way better off buying from the website. It’s a mistake I’ve made over and over again without thinking, but never again. No refund policy.

Double the price

This app sells tickets almost double the price from the tickets official website. And its refund policy is like robbing you.

Response from developer

Hi there, We’re confident in our pricing and service — Rail Monsters connects directly to rail suppliers, and ticket prices are displayed transparently before purchase. Prices vary depending on availability, demand, and class, just like on any dynamic system. Nothing is hidden. If you had a real issue with an order, we’re always here to help. But if this review is based on assumptions or competitive tactics, we kindly ask you to reconsider it. Misleading claims hurt real customers trying to make informed decisions. — The Rail Monsters Team

It’s a trap, at least for Japan Shinkansen.

No customer service at all.

Response from developer

Hi Jun, That’s a surprising comment — we have a full-time support team that responds every day, including for Japan Shinkansen tickets. You can reach us directly through the app, website, or by email, and we help thousands of customers every month. If you had trouble reaching us, we’d genuinely like to know more so we can check. But calling it a “trap” with no service at all doesn’t reflect reality, and we kindly ask you to be fair to the work our team puts in daily. — Rail Monsters Support

Thanks)

Super convenient for booking train tickets in Japan. I’ll never go back to booking directly with rail companies after using this.

Удобное приложение!

I had an issue with my tickets, and the support team, especially Angelina, was incredible. Fixed everything quickly with no hassle.

Top for Saudi Arabia train booking

Used the app to buy a ticket from Makkah to Madina (Haramain Train). The process was super fast and simple. Will definitely use again.
