The pass is definitely worth the value if you are taking JR often, especially for long distance journey! Very convenient and just redeem the ticket at the vending machine inside the JR centre and can also have 6 quotas for choosing designated seats! Highly recommended

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 used this pass to travel to Kurume and Kokura. I've been to Shimonoseki twice before, so I skipped it this time. Kurume wasn't actually in my plans, but a train happened to be there, so I just hopped on for a 'P's Trip' and searched online to see the giant Buddha statue. For reference, you can take bus number 31 or 35 (310 yen) from Kurume Station and walk for 5-10 minutes. Then, the next day, I went to Kokura to eat burdock root udon and go shopping at 2nd Street, lol. Fukuoka is expensive, so Kokura has more affordable brands. Especially Niko and... it's pretty and the vintage items are cheap, so I found some great deals. If you feel a barrier in Fukuoka, you can shop for various things in Kokura, lol. When you take the train, they come to check your ticket, so you have to turn it on and show it on the internet. Sonic trains have unreserved seats in cars 4-7...

The 2-day Kyushu SunQ Pass is a great value, allowing you to ride buses throughout northern Kyushu. Activate it by entering your email address; you'll receive a password via email. Use this password to unlock the code, which starts the activation. You can then use it to reserve buses to other cities.

This was my first time purchasing a private car service in Japan. Since I speak Japanese, I initially contacted several local Japanese taxi companies, but their quotes were too expensive. After comparing prices, I purchased a private car plan on Klook. The driver's driving skills were very stable and safe, and they also helped me keep track of time to avoid extra charges for overtime. Overtime is charged at JPY 8,000 per hour. I would use this service again if I have the opportunity.

We had a wonderful experience on this day tour to Kusasenri Grassland (Kusasenrigahama) and Takachiho Gorge. Our tour guide, Daisy Wu, was very lovely and friendly. She speaks both English and Chinese fluently, which made communication very easy for everyone in the group. During each stop, she also recommended different local food spots for us to try, which was very helpful. Originally, our itinerary was supposed to include Aso Crater as well. However, due to a recent helicopter accident and the ongoing rescue operations, the crater area was temporarily closed. Daisy handled the situation very well and brought us to an alternative spot instead. Luckily, the weather today was very clear, so we were still able to see Aso Crater from Kusasenri Grassland, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this is a highly recommended day tour. Thank you for the lovely keychain souvenir, it’s a nice memory from the trip. Hope to join another tour with Daisy again in the future!

Really enjoyed this trip. The guides were great, the timing was perfect, and we always had enough time to look around. Unfortunately Mt. Aso was closed on the day, so we couldn't go up, but that was out of the tour operator's control. Overall we are very happy with the experience and would recommend it.

We had such a wonderful experience on this tour, and a big part of that was because of our guide, Daisy. From the very beginning, she made everyone feel welcome and at ease. You could really feel her passion for what she does. She didn’t just give us facts — she shared stories and little local insights that made each stop more meaningful and interesting. We also really appreciated her patience and how organized everything was. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. She made sure everyone was included and enjoying themselves. Thank you, Daisy, for making this more than just a tour. It truly became one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll gladly recommend this experience to our friends and family because of you!
