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.

Very good value for money and easy to use. The Seibu Kawagoe Pass made traveling from Seibu Shinjuku to Kawagoe smooth and convenient. Redemption was straightforward, trains were frequent, and it helped save on transport costs. Highly recommended for a hassle-free day trip to Kawagoe.

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.

We had a marvelous time at Ginzan Onsen. The trip was definitely not rushed. We were able to compare its day and night view because our guide, Tom, gave us 3 hours to explore. My friend and I had an amazing time! Next was Zao ropeway which was equally wonderful! We love that Tom lets us enjoy the tour and make adjustments as needed. Definitely recommended!

A day trip to Karuizawa offers a wonderful vacation vibe: Kumoba Pond's waters reflect the surrounding forest, and strolling along the wooden boardwalk of Harunire Terrace, enjoying coffee, desserts, and bread, is incredibly therapeutic. Karuizawa is worth planning an overnight stay next time. Tour guide Liu was friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations, covering everything from historical culture and customs to cuisine, making the overall experience perfect.

I took my parents on this tour and was lucky enough to have Mizki as our energetic guide. She shared a lot of relevant knowledge and interesting stories along the way, and even used her own little illustrations, which was so thoughtful. She went above and beyond to take care of everyone in the group. Her farewell speech was really touching. Thank you so much, Mizki! I hope we meet again someday ❤️

Excellent day tour and save the time on public transport. Arakurayama park, Mount Fuji Ropeway and Oshino Hakkai.

just the winter illumination at ashikaga makes it totally worth it! it is a truly magical experience, perfect for all ages. for the hitachi seaside park, make sure you check the flowering status before going. unfortunately for us the flowers were mowed in preparation for the next season, but the park still offers sand dunes, grass fields, rock garden and an amusement park.
