Transport in Chiba Prefecture

Easy redemption and comfortable ride. The Skyliner ticket redemption was quick and easy. The staff were helpful, and the process was smooth with no hassle. The train was clean, comfortable, and fast, making the trip from Narita to Tokyo very convenient. Highly recommended!

If I hadn't booked the Narita Express, it would have been very difficult given the distance from the airport to my destinations (Tokyo Station, Shinjuku). 😀 If you're booking, it's a good idea to research online beforehand how to select your seat on the day of use after purchasing a round-trip ticket. A helpful tip if you miss your train: for the Narita Express, there are usually plenty of seats, so you can just board the next train and sit in an empty seat. If you have a reserved seat, you can simply move to another available seat! (I didn't want to find this out, but I missed my reserved train on the last day and learned this when the ticket checker on the train kindly pointed out an empty seat, allowing me to happily finish my trip! 👍)

I took the airport limousine from Hotel ikebukuro to Narita Airport. The hotel had a clear sign for the airport limousine bus and the hotel staffs were very helpful. The bus arrived on time and the driver proceeded to check our tickets before storing our luggages. The ride took roughly 1 hour (departed at 9.45am) from ikebukuro to Narita airport. I highly recommend using this service to make your life easier on your last day in Japan. I'd rather have a comfortable trip to the airport than to navigate the train stations with my 20-30kg luggages.

The 72-hour JR Pass with an additional 8% discount is incredibly cost-effective. Since the JR Pass is an electronic voucher, I recommend exchanging it for a physical ticket at the airport; otherwise, you'll have to do it at Tokyo Station. This time, I also learned how to use the Pass directly on the machine to reserve desired train times and seats, which was incredibly convenient. For the 72-hour subway pass, I tried using QR codes for entry and exit this time, and I'm finally not worried about losing or damaging a physical ticket. Overall, this was a great experience.

This pass is very convenient and has great value to ride JR pass. We just got our pass tocket from Tokyo station and booked seats to Itoigawa and Nagano for the 1st day to get familiar withbJR train and ticket system. We also reserved the ticket between Tokyo and Osaka on the 2nd and last day, which is the main purpose of this pass. Then, we used this pass to travel between Osaka and Kyoto for 2 days, where we ride every half hour express HARUKA

Smooth transaction and ride. We could have gotten this at a lower rate if we booked early, but due to the need to wait for visa, we only booked 2 weeks before our trip. It was easy to book and request to be dropped off at disney hotel rather than at Disneyland.

The "Free Hong Kong Mail" for the voucher was delivered by SF Express. I placed the order today (Monday) and received it the next day (Tuesday), which is extremely efficient. The last time I visited Hokkaido via Sapporo Airport, I deliberately skipped Hakodate because taking the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, then transferring to the JR Hakodate Main Line to Hakodate Station, only takes about 1.5 hours. This is much more convenient than the over 3.5-hour journey from Sapporo to Hakodate. For a relaxed trip for middle-aged travelers, the route Sendai - Aomori - Hakodate - Hachinohe - Sendai, using a JR Pass to reserve seats for free at the designated seat ticket machines, allows you to enjoy leisurely times and various delicious foods. It's very cost-effective and worthwhile.

The driver spoke Chinese, contacted us in advance, and sent the meeting location. His service attitude was also excellent. However, I suggest taking a photo of the meeting point instead of relying solely on GPS. This time, the GPS was off, and my family had to walk a long way in the rain, from outdoors to an indoor underground parking lot. We asked three Disney traffic control staff members for directions. Later, fearing the driver wouldn't find us, we asked a staff member to speak with the driver. There was a moment of panic, thinking we might not reach the meeting point. The empty parking lot on a rainy night was quite eerie. Thankfully, we eventually got into the car. (We also took a car in the morning, and the drop-off point was at the green sign in the basement. However, the evening GPS led us to the purple basement sign, so we went to the wrong place.)

Very easy to book. you only need to pick the time and the terminal. once booked, go to the numbered drop off point and wait for your bus. once you're about to board, just show the QR code. if you have luggage, you'll be given a luggage claim tag to store it in the bus. then, when you're about to drop off, show the tag to the assistant so you can claim your luggage. bonus points to this pick up point from narita terminal 2 because it has a vending machine so we bought some drinks.
