The pass is definitely worth the value if you are taking JR often, especially for long distance journey! Very convenient and just redeem the ticket at the vending machine inside the JR centre and can also have 6 quotas for choosing designated seats! Highly recommended

I had an amazing experience purchasing my 14-day Japan Rail Pass via Klook. I booked it on 01/27/26, and was pleasantly surprised when the voucher arrived in Manila, Philippines just two days later on 01/29/26. The delivery was quick and hassle-free, which made preparing for my trip even more exciting.
When I arrived in Japan, I exchanged the voucher at the JR Office next to Kansai Airport and the process was very smooth and efficient. I was able to activate and start using my pass right away on 02/14/26, the day I arrived.
I truly maximized the pass by traveling mostly on Shinkansen and JR trains—from Kagoshima in the south all the way to Wakkanai in Hokkaido, the northernmost station served by JR. I visited many prefectures and experienced Japan’s incredible railway network to the fullest.
As someone fascinated with trains, this journey was pure happiness. This is already my 3rd time using the 14-day JR Pass, and I will definitely buy one again on my future visits to Japan. 🚄✨🎌💛🚉💯

I used this pass to travel to Kurume and Kokura. I've been to Shimonoseki twice before, so I skipped it this time. Kurume wasn't actually in my plans, but a train happened to be there, so I just hopped on for a 'P's Trip' and searched online to see the giant Buddha statue. For reference, you can take bus number 31 or 35 (310 yen) from Kurume Station and walk for 5-10 minutes. Then, the next day, I went to Kokura to eat burdock root udon and go shopping at 2nd Street, lol. Fukuoka is expensive, so Kokura has more affordable brands. Especially Niko and... it's pretty and the vintage items are cheap, so I found some great deals. If you feel a barrier in Fukuoka, you can shop for various things in Kokura, lol. When you take the train, they come to check your ticket, so you have to turn it on and show it on the internet. Sonic trains have unreserved seats in cars 4-7...

The 2-day Kyushu SunQ Pass is a great value, allowing you to ride buses throughout northern Kyushu. Activate it by entering your email address; you'll receive a password via email. Use this password to unlock the code, which starts the activation. You can then use it to reserve buses to other cities.

This was my first time purchasing a private car service in Japan. Since I speak Japanese, I initially contacted several local Japanese taxi companies, but their quotes were too expensive. After comparing prices, I purchased a private car plan on Klook. The driver's driving skills were very stable and safe, and they also helped me keep track of time to avoid extra charges for overtime. Overtime is charged at JPY 8,000 per hour. I would use this service again if I have the opportunity.

The shop is easy to find, and the staff is very kind. There was no impatience or anger during the communication process. They quickly helped us change into our outfits and printed photos for us as a souvenir. In addition, we could take home the kimono bag and split-toe socks, which was awesome.
Location: Sakura-no-baba Josaien
Facilities: Be careful as you need to return the kimono by 17:00, and be cautious of the contact between the shoes and socks, which can be a bit slippery.

I was contemplating how to make meaningful memories, so I booked and visited. I arrived a bit earlier than the opening time, but they greeted me with smiling faces and even brought out a chair so I wouldn't have to stand, which made me feel good from the start. I didn't really have a specific design in mind, but I got recommendations and tried on clothes. I only tweaked the broad strokes, and I was grateful that the staff took the time to consider and choose clothes that suited me. I was a bit disappointed that the selection of men's kimono designs was a bit smaller compared to other clothing stores, but I still left with many good memories.

At first, I thought simply drawing and sheathing the sword would be enough for you to practice! But since it's a trial lesson, perfection isn't required. Completing the whole process is more important. We practiced a set of moves, learned about Miyamoto Musashi and the history of Niten Ichi-ryu, and there are so many other interesting things. Kumamoto is truly a city of samurai.
