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.

Honestly, there's nothing to complain about. There's a large shopping mall downstairs, and the hotel is directly accessible from the airport by bus. Everything was great.

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 is a must-visit place for all Chiikawa fans! Remember, the entrance is on B1; the ground floor is only for exits, so don't go to the wrong one. There are many photo opportunities inside the park, and the staff will proactively offer to take pictures for you, which is very thoughtful. The only minor drawback is that during the introductory video, the staff only speak Japanese.

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.
