We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very informative and spoke excellent English, which made the experience smooth and engaging. Bokka no Sato is definitely a great place to visit from Nagoya—perfect for kids and kids at heart! Highly recommended!

The bus is a convenient way to get there and spend a day at the ski resort. Bus driver was courteous and meeting point easy to locate.

I honestly thought this would just be a quick change of clothes….but it turned out to feel almost ceremonial. The beautiful staff took their time helping me choose which obi and accessories would best match my kimono, and I really appreciated how thoughtful the entire process was. They even did my hair beautifully. I loved it so much that I kept the hairstyle until night time. We wore our kimonos everywhere: to train stations, Nagoya Castle, shopping centers, and more. Even with the cold and windy weather, the kimono kept us surprisingly warm. We returned everything right on time at 5:30 p.m. after a full day of exploring. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. The staff were very sweet and kind, and I even found a co-ARMY 💜

This class was so fun and super affordable. As someone who loves sweets, it was interesting to learn more about the process of how they’re made in Japan and to get the opportunity to try and make them myself! The instructor was very friendly and it was a nice activity as a solo traveler.

I booked a photoshoot in Nagoya with Kim-san, and it was an amazing experience. Before the shoot, the team coordinated with me to plan the concept, locations, and goals., I wanted both professional business shots and a few casual travel photos. Kim-san arrived early (as did I), and we started right on time. He’s very professional and clearly experienced, having photographed Korean stars before. Throughout the session, he gave great direction and knew exactly which angles and spots would look best. We took photos in unique locations around Osu, including small shrines, temple stairs, and hidden corners, which made the shots stand out from the usual tourist photos. In just one hour, we captured 169 high-quality photos, and I’m using many for my business now. Beyond photography, Kim-san also shared local tips and spots, making it a fun mini-tour as well. Highly recommended if you’re in Nagoya!

It was a smooth transfer from Airport to my hotel. It is easy to use and will just have to generate the QR code. You can enter directly once you have the QR code. Just make sure you ride the correct train and you’re good to go.

The convenience of electronic tickets, which don't require exchange, is great. I also purchased a Kintetsu 5-day electronic ticket a year ago. However, unfortunately, I couldn't open the ticket at the station at all, and ultimately couldn't use it and had to cancel. I used a transportation card to go to the Kintetsu Nagoya Station ticket office and bought a physical ticket. I originally wanted to buy a physical ticket this time, but unfortunately, they stopped selling them on March 31, 2025; only electronic tickets are available. Each time you use it, you have to re-enter and open the ticket to use it, but many stations that aren't major stations often don't have 5G network, only LTE. I'm very worried that I won't be able to open the ticket. Although I was able to use it this time, I still prefer physical tickets over electronic tickets; I have a bit of a phobia about using electronic tickets.

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. 🚄✨🎌💛🚉💯

The main purpose of this trip was to visit Shirakawa-go. This pass was incredibly cost-effective; the round-trip transportation from Osaka alone (train, including a Shinkansen segment, plus bus) almost equaled the pass price. For the remaining four days, I used it to travel to Kyoto, Nara, Uji, and Kansai Airport.
