Tochigi Prefecture

the 2 days pass is worth taking. we took the local train which is only one hour more than limited express. and the frequency of the train is very fast. unlike limited express, although is more comfortable, the ticket has to purchase in advance. the free bus ride allow us to take from station to the shinkyo bridge, then to the temple and back to hotel for 2 days. however, the bus is crowded. sometimes, we walk for short distance instead.

The 72-hour JR Pass with an additional 8% discount is incredibly cost-effective. Since the JR Pass is an electronic voucher, I recommend exchanging it for a physical ticket at the airport; otherwise, you'll have to do it at Tokyo Station. This time, I also learned how to use the Pass directly on the machine to reserve desired train times and seats, which was incredibly convenient. For the 72-hour subway pass, I tried using QR codes for entry and exit this time, and I'm finally not worried about losing or damaging a physical ticket. Overall, this was a great experience.

Smooth transaction and ride. We could have gotten this at a lower rate if we booked early, but due to the need to wait for visa, we only booked 2 weeks before our trip. It was easy to book and request to be dropped off at disney hotel rather than at Disneyland.

A must-visit for traveling to Nikko. If you have enough time, it is recommended to stay in Nikko for 4 days and 3 nights—two nights at Lake Chuzenji and one night at Yumoto Onsen—so you can enjoy the peaceful and deserted lakeside in the morning. Mobile network signals in Nikko are still not very reliable, so it is recommended to print out physical tickets in advance to avoid any anxiety during ticket checks for buses or boats.

Mr Shindou is very kind & helpful. Reccomended and drove us to lots of places within the timeframe despite traffic congestion along the way. He was punctual during pick up & overall was a safe driver. Highly recommend him to anyone who wish to take this service up, it’s worth the extra money for convenience & it’s less hassle.

Easy to book, user-friendly, and offers great value that tourists deserve when traveling around Kanto. We started using it right at Narita Airport for the train into Tokyo, the subway, and Toei buses. Just show the online pass to the station staff; some let you pass right through, while others check to see if it covers their journey. In places without staff, you can press the intercom button to speak with someone. Pairing it with NAVITIME to select routes covered by the Greater Tokyo Pass might mean a few detours and transfers, but overall, it makes traveling very smooth. The places we visited using this pass include Nikko, Kawagoe, Kasukabe, Kamakura, Chofu, the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum, Kotokuji Temple, and Kichijoji.

Our driver mr 神藤志良 is such a nice and understanding driver, we enjoyed chatting with him along the way, and he is very attentive to our needs. highly recommended if you have young kids travelling with you as it was a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. he recommended us nice spots and also a nice place for lunch as it was our first time in Japan. thank you so much!

Our tour guide, Ko, in particular, led and informed us very well. He answered questions in English very well and also provided great explanations about the history of the area around Tokyo Station, Tokyo in general, and the sights we visited. The bus driver transported us expertly and safely. We would like to thank both of them for a wonderful day trip.

A must-to-go trip. Beautiful scenery especially the Kegon fall and Shinkyo bridge. Toshogu shrine visit was good too. Along the way to these sites, we passed by Irohazaka which makes me think of the race scene in Initial D movie. Our tour guide, Yuma, was very fluent in English and friendly.
