We really appreciated the ease of purchasing our tickets through Klook. It was good to know that we had the tickets, especially since it was silver week in Japan and we were able to head to the Shinagawa station with no problem and then to Kobe and back to Ginza Tokyo Station without any problems at all. We were grateful to have the tickets already on my phone. We even got to see Mt Fuji!!!
