JRPass: point-to-point train tickets in Japan

Since February 2026, EvoTech SAS has worked within the team of the software factory atEnbi on a project for JRPass: a new system for booking and issuing point-to-point train tickets in Japan, integrated with the existing platform.

Client and partner

JRPass is a United Kingdom company that offers Japan rail passes and train tickets for travellers.

atEnbi is a software factory from Poland. EvoTech SAS works on the project as part of its team.

Period: since February 2026, ongoing.

Role of EvoTech SAS: senior full-stack development in Ruby on Rails, plus the architecture and technical decisions of the new project.

The need

JRPass only offered rail passes. It wanted to add point-to-point tickets (for example, Tokyo → Osaka) with a new system, integrated with the existing platform.

What we did

• Architecture and technical decisions for the new point-to-point ticket system, integrated with the previous system.
• A Python bot that automates ticket issuing in the rail provider's system. It runs on AWS and connects to the platform through an API.
• Integrations with Adyen (payments), Xero (accounting) and Revolut.

Stack

• Ruby on Rails
• PostgreSQL
• Python
• AWS
• Adyen
• Xero
• Revolut

Result

The new module went live in mid-2026 and now handles about 300 tickets per month.
