Better than expected, the stage effects are surprising and recommended. The only problem is not understanding Japanese. Although I borrowed a subtitle device, it sometimes froze, but since I had read the plot online, it didn't affect me much.

Booking train tickets and the 2-day pass on Klook in advance was so convenient. Riding the SPACIA X was truly comfortable, and upgrading to car #2 was worth every penny! I would definitely book again when visiting Nikko in the future.

Klook's recommendation this time was excellent! The Wagyu beef was incredibly delicious! Great breed and quality! We were so full that we couldn't try everything! A very satisfying dinner!

Really enjoyed learning about Japan's imperial legacy while strolling through these beautiful gardens. The preserved stone gates and walls are impressive remnants of Edo Castle's former glory. Great value tour experience.
