Your whole Japan trip,
routed & priced.
行き先と泊数を入れるだけ。ルート・パス・購入タイミングを一括最適化。
Tell us the cities and how long in each. Hanabi orders them into the shortest route, picks the cheapest pass combination, and tells you exactly which day to activate — so you're not left with a ¥50,000 pass and one train to catch.
WORKED EXAMPLE · 例
“4 nights in Osaka,
4 nights in Hiroshima.”
Hanabi picks the order, measures every shinkansen leg, and checks every pass against every day. You see the full plan and the exact moment to buy.

HOW IT WORKS
Three soft steps.
Pin your cities
Drop the cities and how many nights in each. Mark day-trips, pick your seat class. No dates-per-city needed.
We solve the route
A TSP solver orders your stops to minimise total travel time, then inserts day-trips at the best base.
We time the pass
Every pass combo is priced against every leg. You get which pass, which day to activate, and the exact savings.
WHY / なぜ
Since 2023, the nationwide JR Pass is rarely the cheapest — and the savings only work if you activate on the right day. Most travellers do better with a regional pass plus a couple of pay-per-ride legs. We do that math for you.
Hanabi keeps a living database of every tourist pass — coverage, exclusions, shinkansen rules, the 2026 price changes — and a route solver that knows how to string your cities together.
