JR Central Tokaido & San-yo Shinkansen Timetable App is Awarded the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025

TOKYO, JAPAN, October 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NAVITIME JAPAN (President and CEO: Keisuke Onishi, Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo) has been awarded the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025 (operated by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion) for the JR Central Tokaido & San-yo Shinkansen Timetable app, which was developed together with Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

JR Central Tokaido & San-yo Shinkansen Timetable App (joint entry with Central Japan Railway Company)
This app is designed for Tokaido and San-yo Shinkansen passengers to easily check timetables and operational information on their smartphones, even while on the go. It replicates the readability of printed timetables while offering digital features such as filtered searches by date or train name, platform numbers, real-time updates, and actual delay times. It supports smooth travel planning and provides peace of mind for both business and leisure travelers.

For this application, Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) was responsible for planning and distributing the service, while NAVITIME JAPAN Co., Ltd. lead the design and overall development of the app.

Comments by the review board (translated by NAVITIME JAPAN)
The railway timetable is arguably one of those pieces of content still thought to be more readable in print than in digital form.

This product has successfully offered new value to users by adapting the long-beloved print timetable--preserving its great strengths of comprehensiveness and visibility on the smartphone screen--while also providing real-time operational information.

We highly commend this initiative for being a legitimate evolution of paper-based content achieved through digital transformation.
