Explore Japan's railways, and railways around the world, on a map, and watch the trains run. ■ All of Japan's railways About 650 lines and 9,100 stations in their line colors: Shinkansen, JR, private railways, subways, trams, monorails and cable cars. Filter to show just the Shinkansen, just the subways and more. ■ Railways around the world (World Rail Packs, new) Download rail data by country or region: Europe (Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, Norway, Türkiye), Asia (South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore), North America (US, Canada) and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand). Use it just like Japan: on the map, in search, with trains, and for your own lines and timetables. More countries are on the way. * Requires a World Rail Packs subscription. Rail data for Japan is still free. ■ Watch the trains run In train mode, trains move across the map (locals are circles, rapids triangles, expresses diamonds). Move time with the clock bar or speed up to 3600×. Tap a train for its destination and arrival times, and "Follow" it from one of 8 camera directions. Tilt the map for 3D. * All schedules are simulated by the app. They are not real timetables. ■ Design your trains Zoom in and trains are drawn as full-length car bodies. Create designs from 19 shapes (including locomotives, sightseeing trains and Shinkansen noses), 13 paint styles and your own colors, and assign them to a line, a service, a timetable or a single train. ■ Station and line details Tap a station for its lines and timetable, or a line for its stations, with branches and loops laid out clearly. Search by name, or show only the lines you choose. ■ Build your own lines (one ad for an hour of use, or Premium) Place stations, connect them into lines and run through onto real lines. You can also extend an existing line from its end station. ■ Your own timetables and services Write timetables on any line: enter a departure time and the rest fill in. Create named rapid and express services, run through onto other lines, and let automatic trains run through too. Add arrival times to hold trains for overtaking. (Up to 100 of your trains at once for free, unlimited with Premium.) ■ Stop charts and route maps Turn your services into a stop chart, or combine lines into a route map laid out from real station locations. Adjust by hand and export as PDF or image. ■ Share your works Send lines, timetables, stop charts and route maps as a link or a file, with everything they need. Links expire after 30 days; you can extend them up to a year, update or revoke them. * Creating a link requires iCloud sign-in (not needed to receive). Anyone with the link can download it. ■ English and Japanese Use the app in English or Japanese. Station and line names are shown in English with the Japanese alongside, and you can search by either. ■ Premium (one-time purchase) - Unlimited train nodes (your own timetables) - CSV and JSON export and import - No ads ■ World Rail Packs (auto-renewable subscription) - Monthly or yearly, with a one-week free trial for new subscribers. Prices vary by country and are shown in the app - One subscription covers every pack. Separate from Premium - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase - It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends - Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings - Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription - Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://github.com/yaapp1682-wq/railviewer-data/blob/main/PRIVACY.md ■ About the data Rail data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), published on GitHub.

「ここから、どこまで行ける?」 時間旅行は、行き先を決めるためのアプリではありません。出発地と使える時間だけを決めると、その時間で行ける範囲が地図の上に広がっていきます。 鉄道と車、ふたつの旅を切り替えられます。同じ場所へ、鉄道なら何時間、車なら何時間かかるのか。見比べているうちに、目的地のほうからあなたに出会いに来ます。 ●鉄道モード 全国8,988駅・602路線。出発駅と出発時刻(始発・いま・任意の日時)を決めると、普通・快速で行ける駅が色で広がります。新幹線を使うモードに切り替えれば、今日中に届く範囲が一気に伸びます。駅をタップすれば、到着時刻・乗換回数・待ち時間・運賃の目安と経路が読めます。 ●車モード 全国の高速道路・国道・主要道の道路網から、30分〜6時間で行ける範囲を表示。単純な円ではなく、実際の道のかたちで光が伸びていきます。出発地点は現在地・地名検索・地図の中心ピンから自由に決められます。 ●その先にある場所 道の駅、SA・PA、温泉、展望台、海岸、滝、キャンプ場、古い神社。到達圏のなかにある約28,000か所が、ズームすると静かに現れます。 ●旅の記憶 たどり着いた駅や場所に、短い言葉や写真を一枚だけ残せます。点数も口コミもありません。誰かが残した記憶は、そこを訪れる次の誰かへの小さな手紙になります。記憶のある場所は、地図の上で静かに光ります。 ●偶然と出会う 「どこかへ」— 時間だけ決めて、行き先は偶然にまかせる 「海へ」「温泉へ」「景色へ」— 気分だけ決める 「誰かの記憶へ」— 言葉や写真が残された場所へ 「今日の終点」「時間の端へ」— 決めた時間の、少し先まで ●旅立つときは 「ここへ行く」から、Apple マップ・Google マップにルートをそのまま引き継げます。 ※所要時間は目安です。鉄道は実際の時刻表ではなく路線ごとの平均速度と運転間隔から、車は道路種別ごとの平均速度から計算しています。交通状況・休憩・通行止めは含まれません。お出かけの際は乗換案内や最新の道路情報をご確認ください。 ※位置情報は「現在地から」を選んだときだけ使用します。許可しなくても、駅名検索・地名検索・地図での指定で全機能をご利用いただけます。 ※投稿の閲覧は誰でもできます。投稿にはiCloudへのサインインが必要です。 ※駅データは駅データ.jp、道路・地点データは OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) を加工して利用しています。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 時間旅行 at none against MyRailwayMap's shown. MyRailwayMap's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
