Kitakanto Area
The Kitakanto Area, just north of Tokyo, offers a delightful mix of nature, history, and cultural treasures across Tochigi, Gunma, and Ibaraki prefectures. In Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage site, travelers can marvel at the ornate Toshogu Shrine and explore the scenic beauty of Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls. Gunma invites relaxation with its famous Kusatsu Onsen, where soothing hot springs have drawn visitors for centuries.
Ibaraki adds modern charm with the futuristic Ushiku Daibutsu, one of the world’s tallest Buddha statues, and seasonal beauty at Hitachi Seaside Park. From spiritual landmarks to natural wonders, Kitakanto offers a perfect escape from the bustle of Tokyo.

Good for anyone staying in Tokyo and keen for daytrips to places like Izu, Karuizawa, Tochigi etc. Really worth the price for a much adventurous and fruitful trip! After exchange the JR PASS, u could book tickets via the JR TICKET machine to avoid queues, convenient and hassle free. Highly recommended to those going Tokyo!

I had an amazing experience purchasing my 14-day Japan Rail Pass via Klook. I booked it on 01/27/26, and was pleasantly surprised when the voucher arrived in Manila, Philippines just two days later on 01/29/26. The delivery was quick and hassle-free, which made preparing for my trip even more exciting.
When I arrived in Japan, I exchanged the voucher at the JR Office next to Kansai Airport and the process was very smooth and efficient. I was able to activate and start using my pass right away on 02/14/26, the day I arrived.
I truly maximized the pass by traveling mostly on Shinkansen and JR trains—from Kagoshima in the south all the way to Wakkanai in Hokkaido, the northernmost station served by JR. I visited many prefectures and experienced Japan’s incredible railway network to the fullest.
As someone fascinated with trains, this journey was pure happiness. This is already my 3rd time using the 14-day JR Pass, and I will definitely buy one again on my future visits to Japan. 🚄✨🎌💛🚉💯

I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Ge from Shanghai. He's been in Japan for 25 years and is familiar with tourist attractions. Originally, our third day was just going to be spent shopping in Shibuya in downtown Tokyo, but after talking with him, we learned that the Harry Potter museum in Nerima Ward could be explored in 4 hours. We immediately changed our itinerary, which really added to the memories of our trip. We've been to Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, and the Harry Potter museum. I really recommend a trip to the Harry Potter museum. It's more relaxing than amusement parks where you're constantly waiting in line for rides. The immersive experience throughout the entire area is great, with so much to see and rich content. The surrounding commercial area selling merchandise is also very interesting, unlike the single area at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.

Very interesting visit. Despite my English not being excellent, I understood the explanations from our guide, Logan. Gion is a very beautiful place. I was delighted to learn so much about geishas.

The guide Mila was kind to take pictures for us. We were lucky to have a good day on the tour to see Mount Fuji.

It was a long ride to Ibaraki from Shinjuku for this tour, but it totally worth it . We visited the said places of interest and the Kochias from Hitachi seaside park is not to be missed. We are thankful that we have our guide, Gilbert, he is knowledgeable and manage the guests' expectations tactfully. Yes, it was a great day out in this tour!

This was such a beautiful day! I've been meaning to visit Ibaraki prefecture for a while and this was the perfect way to see several things at once at a relaxed pace. The fish market and shrine were even better than expected, I ate very well.

Joining this Klook day tour by tour bus allows you to visit three major attractions in Ibaraki Prefecture, which is very quick, convenient, and comfortable. Since the drive from Tokyo to Ibaraki Prefecture is more than 2 hours, there will be a stop at a highway rest area for tour members to use the restroom. The length of stay at the three attractions is reasonable, and the arrangement is very good. Especially in late October, you can see the brown-red Kochia scoparia at Hitachi Seaside Park, which is very delightful. Special thanks to Ms. Zheng, the tour guide, for her help. She knows Japanese, English, and Mandarin, and helped communicate with local vendors in Japanese at the Nakaminato Seafood Market. I highly recommend this day tour to everyone.
