seat reservation process: Easy to do and well worth booking seats.
price: Was a great price to do the whole trip in one go, changed trains at the station half way to our destination and no problems.
pass area coverage: Great views of the country side and had great internet coverage so could still keep in contact with people.

Price: Very worth it. The value is 30,000 yen, but I actually used 69,000 yen. Having a pass makes me not worry. Plus, I got a discounted price from Klook.

The exchange order was delivered on time within 4 days to me. Delivery from Taiwan to Malaysia by DHL. Such a fast service. I used the exchange order to exchange for the ticket at JR office at Kansai Airport. Very convenient and super worth it as it helped me to save.

If you're traveling in the Hokuriku region and prefer not to drive, a JR PASS is a great option for independent travel. You can choose to stay in one city for several nights, or use your JR PASS to take the Shinkansen for day trips to various cities in the Hokuriku area, which is very cost-effective. I visited Kanazawa, Shin-Takaoka, Takaoka, Amaharashi, Himi, Toyama, Unazuki Onsen, and Komatsu over four days, and it was very convenient.

Value for money as we went to many places. You can also use it on local JR Buses and trains. Will surely get again.

So happy we chose to use this bus service instead of the trains, we could very easily bring our large luggage without hassle. the drive was very scenic and smooth. The bus stops along the way for bathroom breaks. the bus is spacious and clean and the seats recline quite far back. We were lucky as our bus was almost empty but during busier times I suspect the bus would have more people. Overall very convenient way of getting from Kyoto to Kanazawa!

We had a wonderful time at the tea ceremony, which was led by a very professional woman. The ceremony was conducted in French, which was a real plus. Everything was perfect, and I highly recommend this activity during your stay in Kanazawa.

Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and even the driver can speak English. It was snowing during our visit. The time given to explore the area was just nice, not too long or too short. The agent was also very helpful to accommodate to our dietary requirements. Recommended.

Aiko was fabulous. She spoke very good English, Spanish, Japanese, and others. She was entertaining and educational making custom materials that enhanced the experience. The tour was a great way to see the village, garden, and gisha district, and to make candy and a gold leaf post card. I recommend the full day optiin. Best way to see it all.
