The price is at least 100 yen cheaper. You can only redeem it at a green automatic ticket machine that can scan passports (at Fukui Station, only machine #5 works, and it must be marked with "5489").
⚠️ You can select Chinese on the machine. The redemption process is slightly different from what's described in the app. I ended up asking a staff member for help with the redemption, and I found that their sequence was to first scan the passport, then directly select QR code scan, and then follow the prompts to issue the ticket.
⚠️ After the ticket is issued, you need to reinsert it into the machine to select the date and seat. Because I was worried about not being familiar with the process, I exchanged my ticket a day in advance, which was very wise. This way, I wasn't rushed on the day of travel.

A must-buy. For non-reserved seats, avoid rush hour after 5 PM; there are plenty of empty seats, and you don't need to specifically reserve the last row for large luggage. This trip, we flew Tigerair, departing on Sunday and returning on Thursday. We exchanged our tickets at Kanazawa Station, but the machines couldn't issue them, so we had to get a number at the counter and wait for some time. For the return trip, with a lot of luggage, you can take the Shinkansen to Komatsu Station and then a taxi for 2200 JPY. If you're going to Fukui, you can transfer from the Shinkansen to the Echizen Railway without buying another ticket. We originally planned to use the Fukui Pass, but there were no seats available for the new sensation XR bus WOW RIDE. You must visit Aeon and Yamada Denki at Shin-Takaoka Station. The water at Kurobe Gorge Railway wasn't blue, which was a bit disappointing. Be sure to make a reservation for Manpuku Yakiniku; it's a must-try.

This pass is very convenient and has great value to ride JR pass. We just got our pass tocket from Tokyo station and booked seats to Itoigawa and Nagano for the 1st day to get familiar withbJR train and ticket system. We also reserved the ticket between Tokyo and Osaka on the 2nd and last day, which is the main purpose of this pass. Then, we used this pass to travel between Osaka and Kyoto for 2 days, where we ride every half hour express HARUKA

Fast delivery. We received the exchange couple within few days. We went to Nagoya station to exchange the pass and also reserved our seats. We visited Gero, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Fukui, Tsuruga. We took JR train, express bus and Shinkansen train. Very worth it

Wonderful service. We were early for our 1220 bus and they allowed us to board the 1120 bus. Traffic around Tokyo was horrendous but the driver was very patient. Handled our luggage very well. Nice seating with charge ports at every seat. Washroom on board.

There were two of us here and we were served with a great deal of kindness and care. We both had the Deluxe Premium package. We were able to choose from many yukata and received good advice from the staff. During the dressing process, they always made sure that we felt comfortable in everything. Doing my hair took quite a long time because my hair is very long. However, both I and the woman who did my hair had fun doing it, and the hairstyle turned out so beautiful! Outside, we received a lot of compliments, and my boyfriend also felt very comfortable in his outfit. Overall, it is a huge recommendation! It was so much fun and everyone was so friendly, both when getting dressed and undressed and when having our hair done. Out on the street, you felt like something very special, even though there were many people walking around in such yukata.

A very elegant and professional Kimono and Yukata shop! Absolutely no touristy feel! A very extensive selection, beautiful! And a separate, accompanying hair salon (price included). Professional and kind people.

Tour was amazing, our guide Kana was super friendly and provided all the info in advance while on the way, so when you arrive you already know what to prioritize and have a map to go around easily. tour starts early but then, when you arrive, is not that crowded which is nice. Better to follow her recommendation and go to the observatory first, when I went after arrival was almost empty but one hour later it was super full and it continued like that the rest of the day. Lunch was great and nice opportunity to try a traditional lunch. Both places were honestly breathtaking and we were super lucky to have a super sunny day. Bus was also great and it honestly felt nice to not have to check 10 times the public info for transport to make sure I was going in the right direction :) . Overall I think the experience is definitely worth it if you are in the area!

Quick facts about Kanazawa
General info
What to know before visiting Kanazawa
Quick overview of Kanazawa and what to expect
Kanazawa draws most interest for attraction passes, organised tours and cultural experiences, and Klook booking patterns show a clear seasonal rhythm through the year. Visitor demand spikes in January and falls to a low in August, so the city alternates between busy winter peaks and a much quieter late-summer period.
When to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, January is the busiest month while August sees the weakest demand. Prices, however, peak in July and are typically lowest in June — the two do not line up exactly, so summer can feel mixed: crowd levels drop by August but prices stay high around July before falling into June. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for June or August; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the highest activity, aim for January.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia typically book about 11 days ahead, with some last-minute bookings possible a couple of days before travel and early planners booking around four weeks ahead. If you travel flexibly, many experiences can still be arranged shortly before departure, but for popular dates in January consider booking earlier; use Klook to compare available attraction passes and tours and lock in the options that fit your schedule.
