Chiba Prefecture

the QR codes were very easy to redeeem. the skyliner counter was very easy to find and there is an option to use the skyliner kiosk as well. for the skyliner, it helps there is seat reservations, and the space is big enough to place a luggage in your seat. the subway tickets can be redeemed at major stations like shunjuku, ueno, etc. very convenient. for the return ticket to narita, just simply book a skyliner schedule in Keisei Ueno station.

the bua depart on time, the location quiet tricky. its on the east building of the shibuya mark city. the location on apps was wrong, you need to click the map (link) instead. take the lift to the 4th floor then you will need to take the escalator to the 5th floor. as they didnt have direct access to 5th floor. the coordinator speaks english! you dont have to worry

Whenever I visit prefectures outside of Tokyo, I make sure to check whether the trip is covered by the JR Tokyo Wide Pass. For 15,000 yen for three days, this pass allows me to travel to various places without worrying about paying each time. It also allows me to take Shinkansen trains and get reserved seats to reach my destination faster. I highly recommend using the JR Tokyo Wide Pass and buying it in advance from Klook (super easy to claim from Narita airport). Plan your itinerary well and calculate if the pass is worth it. During this trip, I used it to visit Nikko on a day trip and Karuizawa on an overnight trip, plus used it on JR Lines within Tokyo. It was surely worth more than what I paid for, so it was definitely a good value.

The whole process was very fqst qnd efficient. Getting thr tickets at the machine was pretty straight forward, but we needed a but of help from the staff in order to figure out how to reserve our seat, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The train had plenty of luggage space for larger suitcases, and well as overhead shelves for carry on. It only took just under an hour to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo station. we booked a return ticket, and they issued both upon first collection, so make sure to keep your return ticket safely.

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.

Super service. We were a bit late and the driver still welcomed us with a smile. Just wonderful. Everyone should book this. Klook is great for this.

Using the JR East Nagano-Niigata Area Pass this time was super convenient, with unlimited Shinkansen rides for 5 days. You can use it to travel all the way from Tokyo to Karuizawa, Nagano, and Niigata, which saved a lot on transportation costs. The best part is being able to reserve seats, making it easy to travel with luggage. It's perfect for people who enjoy in-depth travel or exploring north from Tokyo. The pass is very cost-effective, and I'd like to use it again next time!

I bought this 6-day Tohoku-South Hokkaido Rail Pass to explore Hokkaido, and it paid for itself with just the round trip from Tokyo to Hakodate, so it's very useful. However, be aware that this pass offers different benefits compared to the 5-day JR East Pass; this 6-day pass doesn't include JR buses. As a result, we had to pay extra for the highway buses from Morioka to Miyako and from Kuji to Ninohe, which wasn't cheap.

our driver is ao accomodating and friendly. We safely arrived in Tokyo Disneyland. The van is so cozy & comfy
