Tobu Kawagoe is a fantastic destination for a day trip from Tokyo. Kawagoe, often referred to as "Little Edo," is a charming town with a rich history and culture. Having a Tobu Kawagoe digital pass makes it more convenient to explore the town.

This was our first day in Japan and our first time as tourists navigating trains and transfers, so we were understandably nervous at the start. The Seibu Kawagoe Pass made everything much easier and more manageable. Instructions were clear, routes were straightforward, and the trains were punctual and comfortable. Once we completed what felt like the most challenging part—our first train transfers—we felt much more confident exploring on the following days. Kawagoe itself was a wonderful destination with its charming “Little Edo” atmosphere, traditional streets, and relaxed vibe. We truly enjoyed the experience and would love to return. Overall, the Seibu system was reliable, efficient, and very tourist-friendly, making it an excellent choice for first-time visitors to Japan.

Purchase a Seibu Railway one-day pass e-ticket. Activate the QR code on the day of use. However, it can only be used at gates with QR codes. If some small stations don't have QR code gates, show the QR code to the station staff. Although I didn't see any station staff in front of Seibu Stadium Station at the time, I saw a notice saying there was a call button nearby to notify them. Playing at the following attractions that day was really great value for the price.
Seibu Railway One-Day Pass $1000 0916 Seibu-Shinjuku --> 1025 Motokaji Walk 1.6 km Moomin Valley Park → 1330 Tamako Station Lake Tama Sayama Nature Park → 1500 Hanakoganei Park Station Koganei Park

i love this pass, first day little bit difficult because sometimes no staff near the gate. then we call the staff officer by machine n show the pass through the camera then they will let us enter the gate. 5 days easy to go and i used this pass to go to narita airport. next time i will use this pass again.

easy to redeem ticket, the place is huge. there is a kids plaza with place for the kids to play separated for infant, toddlers and bigger kids, and there is a kids cafe too. for the mini train driving attractions, you need to download the railway app and win the time slot for the attraction. per entry for a family (3 person per train) is 600 yen. it's about 20 minutes per ride. one phone can get only 1 slot of the mini train ride. the exhibitions is big and really fun for train enthusiasts. there are other attractions such us VR (theres a fee) and diorama (free). all and all, it's a good experience.

If you're worried about spending too much time waiting in line at Disneyland, then Seibuen Amusement Park is your first choice. Here, you'll find parades, amusement areas, small theaters, and movies, creating unforgettable memories.

Mr. Jude (蔡萌) is a responsible and friendly tour guide. Despite the unexpectedly worse-than-usual snowy road conditions, he did his utmost to accommodate our request to spend extra time at Ginzan Onsen to enjoy its beautiful gas-lit atmosphere.
The highlight was the renowned Zao Snow Monster Ropeway tour. Even during peak hours on a busy Saturday, Jude successfully secured the ropeway tickets and thoughtfully arranged for us to stay longer at Jizo Sancho Ropeway Station (地藏山頂駅), allowing us to fully appreciate the Jizo Son (藏王地藏尊) and the spectacular Zao Snow Monsters (藏王樹冰).
Thumbs up to Jude (蔡萌) for his dedication and excellent service.

I misread and thought I was going to Hoshino and the Prince Outlet, but it turned out to be a choice between the two. I changed my itinerary at the last minute and notified the driver and guide, Mr. Wu, but there was a misunderstanding that caused him to search for us everywhere. Thank you.
