On my recent visit, I was surprised how much I missed Hyperdia. Then, I found the Jorudan iOS app. It did everything that I used Hyperdia for. Google Maps was okay for awhile, but a key feature it doesn't have is "last train," at least as far as I can tell.

If you click to set the specific departure time you get the option for (from left) departure, arrival, and last train. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...11f8a58fb7.png I mainly use Yahoo's timetable. But it is only in Japanese, and can now only be downloaded/used if you are in Japan |

Does it realize
I am stupified that Hyperdia has decided to do this.
Before, it was fun to play around with it to learn which trains for which you would have been | were waiting for were dependent on this train. Generally, this was locating the Keikyu | Toei | Keisei train runs which ran through to Narita Airport. Yes, most of these were not on the Keisei Main Line; but were useful for determining where to transfer to that Main Line train. I will not be able to assign my carry-on baggage to an off-airport baggage handling service - because I might still buy more Japanese artifacts on the day between my check-out and my overseas flight - and I would want those purchases included in my carry-on. But this cannot be done under the time constraints. So - all of my walks back to the train station, whether it was Yokohama, Kannai {Yokohama}, Asakusa {Toei}, or Honjo-azumabashi {Toei}* were undertaken with my carry-on close to the limit of how much it could weigh * = the trip from Honjo-azumabashi was toward Haneda Airport - so I did not need to struggle crossing a busy avenue. Please suffice that I expended calories and lost weight lugging my big carry-on back to the train station. Then, I had to position myself on the train platform to board a car at the interior position - toward the silent zone (because I did not possess a phone), and hope I would get some assistance for loading my carry-on onto the over-window ledge. Once I got to the airport (NRT or HND), I was O.K. -Until I landed back in the U.S.A.- |
