日頃よりJAPAN TRAVELERをご覧いただき、ありがとうございます。当サイトでは長らくの間、北海道＆東日本パスや青春18きっぷの使い方などについて紹介してまいりましたが、2003年の開設当初より利用してきたウェブサービスが来月を持って終了することから、現在、新しいウェブサービスへ移行する作業を行っています。
それに伴ってホームページの内容やデザインを大幅に見直していますが、スマホに対応したサイト構築も同時に行っているため、当初の予想よりも制作に時間を要しています。8月末に予定している暫定的な公開まで今しばらくお待ちください。写真は現在製作中の新しいウェブサイトです。

Thank you for visiting JAPAN TRAVELER's website. We will release a renewed website (in Japanese) at the end of August. English version is also coming soon.

How to spend your summer vacation?
Today our managed website “Japan Traveler” was introduced to the top news of Yahoo! JAPAN.

Editing section of the Weekly Pl***oy News commented “Hokkaido and East Japan Pass (北海道＆東日本パス) is convenient and deals rail pass than Seishun 18 (青春18きっぷ)”. Of course we think so too if you travel by local trains from Tokyo to Hokkaido via Tohoku. We did not update our website because we were busy, so we'll update before long.

We have got good news for our fans. This month we’re going to publish a rail travel e-guidebook (Japanese edition) that cover Hokkaido and East Japan includes Tokyo and Tohoku. English edition will be published by the end of the year. Details will be described later. Thank you.
