Two Countdown Modes: Departure and Arrival

Getting Started

Choose a direction: Use the tabs at the bottom to select either Matsumoto-bound services (toward Shinjuku, Kofu, Matsumoto, and Hakuba) or Shinjuku-bound services (toward Matsumoto, Kofu, Shinjuku, and Chiba).
Select your stations: Tap the top of the screen to choose boarding and alighting stations. Available stations are automatically narrowed down by direction. The default is Shinjuku–Matsumoto.
Check your train: Each row shows the train name, times, and platform. Trains that have already departed or arrived are automatically dimmed.

⏱ Departure Countdown

The top of the screen continuously shows the remaining time to the earliest train that has not yet departed, down to the second. The next train is highlighted in light blue. You can also tap another train to start an individual countdown; when it departs, the app automatically returns to the latest available train.

🍊 On-board Arrival Countdown

Tap a train that is already running to switch to the warm-toned On-board Mode. The top of the screen changes to an “until arrival” countdown and counts down to your destination in real time. Overnight and early-morning trains that cross midnight are also handled accurately.
