Transport i Saitama Prefecture

It was easy to buy, redeem and use. However I find that the bus drivers seem suspicious about this when showed. The train station staff was ok. And I realised there are people who shared this by logging into 1 account on their individual phones, which cause a queue at the train station due to them slowly log out and log in. overall this pass really saves you ¥ if you take a few of the bus rides at Kawagoe. If it's just to go Kawagoe to and fro then not worth it.

Dette var en enkel tur med ett bytte fra Seibu Shinjuku til Kawagoe stasjon og tilbake! Ingen problemer, bare dro dit, tok ett tog, og jeg var i Kawagoe på en time. Gjør en dagstur på landet veldig, veldig tilgjengelig! Pluss at det er billig for en tur-retur-billett!

Dette passet er veldig praktisk, men den eneste ulempen er at man må gå gjennom en manuell sluse. Noen ganger er det ingen ansatte på andre stasjoner, eller de har gått av vakt, så man må bruke porttelefonen eller bare gå rett gjennom. Ellers er dette passet veldig nyttig. Man kan reise til f.eks. Takao-san, Enoshima og Kawagoe. Man viser i utgangspunktet bare Tokyo PASS-skjermen på telefonen. Man kan reise fra Narita lufthavn terminal 1, 2 eller 3 uten ekstra kostnad, og det er også gratis å bruke når man reiser hjem. Gyldighetsperioden er kun 5 dager, og det er helt gratis innenfor denne perioden.

Due to time constraints, I couldn't visit both Chichibu and Kawagoe, so I ended up going to Chichibu and Seibu-Kyujo-mae. Following everyone's advice, I added the limited express ticket for Chichibu, and it was definitely worth it! The train was super cute and comfortable, making the ride very enjoyable! Chichibu wasn't particularly lively since it wasn't during a festival, and many shops on the shopping street were closed (I heard they open in the evening? We went during the day), but it still had a charming atmosphere. I visited Hitsujiyama Park, but since it wasn't flower season yet, I just walked around. If you have time, you can enjoy the hot springs in front of the station (I didn't go this time). As it wasn't baseball season, I could only take photos outside the Seibu Lions Stadium, but the mini train that goes there was very cute; fans might want to check it out. Overall, it was a very convenient one-day pass! I hope to have the chance to see the Chichibu Night Festival and other places next time.
