After watching the WBC, I used the QR code to board, which saved me time waiting in line to exchange tickets. It was very convenient, and currently, there are no service fees. I truly recommend everyone buy it. Thumbs up.

I chose Kabukicho for my ride, it's very convenient to get to Narita or Haneda from here! The price is 1400 JPY.

Booking tickets was quite convenient, as I didn't need to arrive early. However, I did have to exchange the voucher at the counter first. It would be even better if I could just scan a QR code in the future. I would definitely consider purchasing again!

Great experience. Shintaro was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the area and Japanese history in general which I really enjoyed learning about. Food is amazing. I like that Shintaro took us to the cheaper (but still good quality) spots so we had enough cash to try lots of things, because I explored a bit more after the tour and bought some more food but for more expensive price. Even though it was raining the whole time it was enjoyable. 10/10 I would definitely recommend, especially if you like seafood

Very nice staff and fluent in english! As we got such a great deal here on klook, we decided to pay more to upgrade the wood type and add engraving! There were a lot of wotk benches, so the activity work for people alone and big groups! There arr also loads of camera holder in case you want to film your progress!
