It is very convenient to book tickets using Klook. You don't have to compete with everyone on the Jr website. This time I was arranged to sit in car 3, which is close to car 2 for selling things. If you want to take pictures, you can go to car 1 to take pictures of the scenery.

At first, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't think that I could really book a Japanese restaurant for free with Klook. Since this restaurant only accepts phone reservations and I don't understand Japanese, I relied on Klook to help me book a seat. When we arrived at the restaurant, the owner had already prepared our dinner.

What you buy on Klook is the electronic version of the Hakone Freepass. You don't need to exchange for a physical ticket. You can use it by showing the electronic ticket display to the staff. It is convenient and fast, and it is a great choice.

After purchasing online, you can directly scan the QR code at the machine at the Japanese station to redeem it. It is very convenient. You can take the subway directly to eat delicious food and go shopping. It is very useful. Next time I come to Japan, I will continue to buy and use it.

Booking shinkansen with Klook is a tourist's best friend! Planning your Japan train travel? Klook is a fantastic choice for Shinkansen tickets, especially if you're a tourist! Their English interface makes booking super easy, and getting your tickets is a breeze thanks to the QR codes sent straight to your email. Just scan at the station and you're good to go! While there might be a tiny difference in price or flexibility compared to direct booking, the convenience and peace of mind Klook offers are totally worth it. It's a highly recommended way to secure your bullet train seats in advance and skip the stress. Considering extensive train travel? Don't forget to compare with a JR Pass too!
