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!

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.

My clients' first bullet train experience in Japan is a memorable one. They enjoyed the experience. Booking with klooks is very easy and entering the platform requires QR code only so very accessible.
