Use Kyochika like an app

Add Kyochika to your home screen and it opens from an icon, full screen, without the address bar. There is nothing to download from an app store and no sign-up. It is free.

iPhone and iPad

1. Open kyochika.jp/en/ in Safari
2. Tap the Share button (a square with an arrow pointing up)
3. Scroll the list and choose “Add to Home Screen”
4. Tap “Add” at the top right

In Chrome on iPhone, the Share button offers the same option.

Android

1. Open kyochika.jp/en/ in Chrome
2. Tap the “⋮” menu at the top right

Desktop (Chrome, Edge)

1. Open kyochika.jp/en/
2. Click the install button at the right end of the address bar

After adding

A black icon with the katakana “キ” appears on your home screen. Your starting station is remembered after you choose it once. Event information is loaded fresh each time you open it.

To remove it

Press and hold the icon and choose “Remove” or “Delete”. Nothing else is left behind.
