Transport in Saitama Prefecture

It was easy to buy, redeem and use. However I find that the bus drivers seem suspicious about this when showed. The train station staff was ok. And I realised there are people who shared this by logging into 1 account on their individual phones, which cause a queue at the train station due to them slowly log out and log in. overall this pass really saves you ¥ if you take a few of the bus rides at Kawagoe. If it's just to go Kawagoe to and fro then not worth it.

this was an easy one transfer ride from seibu shinjuku to kawagoe station and back! no hassle just went there, rode one train, and i’m at kawagoe in an hour. makes a day trip at the countryside very very accessible! plus it’s cheap for a roundtrip ticket!

This pass is very useful, but the only drawback is that you have to go through a manned gate. Sometimes, other stations don't have staff, or the staff have already left for the day, so you have to use the intercom or just go through without assistance. Otherwise, this pass is extremely convenient for visiting Mount Takao, Enoshima, and Kawagoe. You basically just show the Tokyo Pass screen on your phone. You can depart from Narita Airport Terminal 1, 2, or 3 without any additional payment, and there's no charge when you return to your home country. It's completely free for 5 days from the date of use.

Due to time constraints, I couldn't visit both Chichibu and Kawagoe, so I ended up going to Chichibu and Seibu-Kyujo-mae. Following everyone's advice, I added the limited express ticket for Chichibu, and it was definitely worth it! The train was super cute and comfortable, making the ride very enjoyable! Chichibu wasn't particularly lively since it wasn't during a festival, and many shops on the shopping street were closed (I heard they open in the evening? We went during the day), but it still had a charming atmosphere. I visited Hitsujiyama Park, but since it wasn't flower season yet, I just walked around. If you have time, you can enjoy the hot springs in front of the station (I didn't go this time). As it wasn't baseball season, I could only take photos outside the Seibu Lions Stadium, but the mini train that goes there was very cute; fans might want to check it out. Overall, it was a very convenient one-day pass! I hope to have the chance to see the Chichibu Night Festival and other places next time.
