I notice someone else already posted another URL, but here's another one
to have in your bookmarks in case the first one is down:

Ugg, that one seems broken for my JR line. I tried Takarazuka to
Nishisanso - my daily commute - and it would only give me reserved
seating on JR to Kyobashi - I guess since the Loop Line is
non-reservable, it didn't route me through Umeda - which seems to be
only available once every two hours.

I have no idea about any of those stations, but when I did it,
it gave me a routing through Umeda (Hankyu) station using the
loop line (Takarazuka - Umeda, walk to Osaka, take the Loop Line
to Kyobashi, then another train to Nishisanso).
It is sensitive to the departure time that you set -- it tries to
get you to your arrival point as soon as possible after your
departure, so if you just left it as the default, it would have
picked some train that runs overnight or something.

Yes, I had that one, but the quickest way is JR Takarazuka sen to
Umeda, change to the Loop Line, then to Kyobashi and change to Keihan.
Second fastest is JR Takarazuka sen/Tokaisen(?) direct to Kyobashi.
Slower, and more expensive, and more walking, is the Hankyu option. If
you set your destination as Kyobashi instead of Nishisanso, it works
out the routes correctly without the express fare surcharge.
