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

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!

This Tokyo Metro card is incredibly practical and can be used on many lines. If you're planning to explore the city center recently, we highly recommend purchasing it from this vendor; it's both affordable and convenient.

What to know about Hibiya Park

Hibiya Park is a peaceful green space in the middle of Tokyo, near Tokyo Station, Yurakucho Station, and the Imperial Palace. Opened in 1903, it was Japan’s first Western-style park. You’ll find wide walking paths, pretty seasonal flowers, and towering trees, including a famous 500-year-old ginkgo. The park sits where a feudal lord’s palace once stood, and you can still see old Edo Castle's stone walls and a small pond with birds. In this park, you'll find benches to sit and relax on, spots to have a tea or beer, and even places to enjoy local food from nearby shops and restaurants. A large fountain in the middle of the park lights up at night, creating a fun and romantic atmosphere. In spring and fall, the trees and flowers are especially beautiful. Hibiya Park is easy to walk to from places like Ginza and Chiyoda-ku, and it’s free to enter. You can visit any day—even on a Tuesday—to enjoy the sun, rest under the trees, or take photos near the landmarks. Whether you're walking through in June, August, or September, Hibiya Park is always a special part of Tokyo.
