Better than expected, the stage effects are surprising and recommended. The only problem is not understanding Japanese. Although I borrowed a subtitle device, it sometimes froze, but since I had read the plot online, it didn't affect me much.

Booking train tickets and the 2-day pass on Klook in advance was so convenient. Riding the SPACIA X was truly comfortable, and upgrading to car #2 was worth every penny! I would definitely book again when visiting Nikko in the future.

The store is very clean, and there are many styles of kimono. The staff provides excellent service, and the hairstyles are also very beautiful. Highly recommended! Come to this store to experience wearing a kimono.

Klook's recommendation this time was excellent! The Wagyu beef was incredibly delicious! Great breed and quality! We were so full that we couldn't try everything! A very satisfying dinner!

My husband and I were visiting from Australia and booked easily through Klook. We attended the cabaret theater last night for our last night in Tokyo, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The dancers came up and greeted all the groups; everyone was so kind and accommodating. The theater performances ranged from fun and exciting, with an awesome laser show, moving through to a wonderful demonstration of story and culture through theater. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Japan.

amazing!! the bed was super comfortable, clean, toilet and shower were practical, clean and easy for a 6 foot person to use no problems, highly recommend hotel, had all your basic needs covered didn't need to bring toiletries as most provided for free as apart of the stay in the foyer including complimentary use of umbrella's as we had a huge down pour on our last day. Staff were absolutely beautiful and caring and so lovely on all interactions with. Close to everything in Asakusa that we needed like railway station, shopping centres, food and dining options and Senso-ji Temple with cultural experiences as well as access to private transfer meet up's, luggage storage available was super helpful

Decided to go to Skytree last minute, quickly chose a time and paid in the app. Received the voucher quickly, and exchanging it for a physical ticket was very convenient. Overall, a great experience.
