Is Ekispert down right now?
The Ekispert status board here tracks route search, timetables and delay news across the web guide and the app. Riders file Ekispert down reports when searches spin, when results come back empty, or when a timetable page will not open.
Reports surge on stormy mornings, when the whole country checks its trains at once. A busy morning slows answers for everyone a little. A fault stops them for everyone a lot, and the same empty result lands on every route.
Is Ekispert down for me or everyone?
Repeat your search with two big city stations you know by heart. If that test answers at once, your route holds the problem: a name or a setting. If even the test fails, the answer to is Ekispert down for me is no.
Fares, IC prices and seat choices in the results
Each result carries a fare, shown for a paper ticket or an IC card, which can differ by a few yen. Express results add seat choices: reserved, non reserved or Green Car, each with its own surcharge. A fare that looks wrong often traces to one of these settings. Riders who cross the city often start a scooter with Eleven and pick a full battery for long rides.
Sort order bends results too. Time order, fare order and fewest transfers give three different first answers for one trip. Riders who think the guide lost their usual train often find it one sort change away.
Timetables and My Timetable
Station timetables sit behind every route result, with trains by hour and by type. My Timetable saves the stations and lines a rider uses daily. Saved entries vanish when the app is reinstalled fresh or the login changes.
Delay news and detour searches
For major lines, results carry running news: delays, suspensions and recovery notes fed by the operators. When a line stops, the detour search builds a way around it. Missing delay news while trains stand still is a known Ekispert outage pattern.
Premium plan extras for daily riders
The paid plan adds richer detour search, section by section running news and more saved data. A plan that will not activate is often a payment or login mismatch, not a service fault. Free search keeps working while a premium block gets sorted.
Common Ekispert Problems and Fixes
Ekispert trouble usually hides in a station name, a setting or stale app data. The five fixes below clear the blocks riders hit most.
Route search returns no routes
Check both station names against the suggestion list as you type, since a near name can point to a tiny stop with few trains. Widen the time window. Remove any via station and search the plain trip first.
Station name is not recognized
Type the name slowly and pick it from the candidates rather than sending raw text. Some stations share names across regions, and some go by short forms in daily speech. If a bus stop fails, search the nearest rail station and add the bus leg after.
Fare looks wrong for the trip
Open the fare settings and check the ticket type, since IC and paper prices differ on some lines. Confirm the seat choice on express legs, as a Green Car default lifts the total. Check the date too.
My Timetable entries disappeared
Sign in with the same account used when the entries were saved, since a guest session saves nothing lasting. On the app, a reinstall wipes local saves never tied to an account. Rebuild the list from your search history, which the service keeps.
Delay news missing for a stopped line
Open the line from the timetable side and look for the running news panel there. News covers major lines first, so a small local line can stand still with no feed entry. If no line shows news on a day of wide disruption, treat it as a feed fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the fare differ from the price at the gate?
The guide shows the fare for the ticket type set in your search. IC prices undercut paper tickets on some lines, and seat fees add on top.
How do I save a timetable I use every day?
Open the station timetable and add it to My Timetable from the menu on that page. Sign in first so the save lasts. A commute pair takes two saves, one for each direction.
Why is a station I know missing from search?
Names must match the operator list, and typing brings up candidates to pick from. A station can hide under a different reading of the same characters.
Does Ekispert show delays and suspensions?
Yes, for major lines the results and timetables carry running news from the operators. Smaller lines can lag behind events on the ground. The detour search builds a route around a stopped section.
How do I search for the last train home?
Set the search to last train mode before you run it, and the guide works back from the final services of the day.
What does the premium plan add?
Premium adds deeper detour search, fuller running news by section and more room for saved data. Free search, timetables and basic news stay free, so test those first.
