Company Information

Corporate Site 

Jorudan engages in the development of program products in Japan. It offers Japan Transit Planner, a service that helps to search routes, fares, and schedules of trains and air planes in Japan. The company is also involved in the planning, designing, development, and maintenance of systems, software, and Fintech solutions. 

Most people know Jorudan for their route search planner, which can be useful when determining the best way to get to a different station. Along with some other new business ventures, one which is probably more obvious is the ability to buy tickets for different services directly from the app.

Comment

The premium features might be overkill for most people who just want to search routes, but they can be nice to have. They do keep adding new features to try to justify people subscribing.
