Andrew, We are hoping to see Cherry blossoms in the Nara and Ise area in a couple of weeks. Using NaviTime and Google maps for train travel between these cities and getting different results for the same station at the same time of day. Which of the 2 apps would you trust if they differ?
We are doing a day trip to the Ise Grand Shrine leaving and returning from Nara. We have the JR rail pass but I think we need to spend 3380 yen each way per person to ride a private line (Kintetsu Vista car). Just one train transfer.
That route on the Kintetsu Railway sounds like the fastest route from what I remember. They're a bit on the pricier side as railways go, but definitely worth it to go to Ise. Enjoy!

I trust both, but that's because I generally know why the routing differs. I like Navitime the best though. What's the route you're talking about?
Thanks Andrew, there's some great tips there for a newby planning our first Japanese trip. 👍
Thanks, I hope you have a wonderful time!
