A must-buy if you go to Northeast China! This time I wanted to relax and stay in Sendai for four nights. The main reason is that the itinerary can be adjusted. Several established attractions depend on the weather to decide where to go that day! I originally wanted to go to Aizuwakamatsu, but the weather was bad those days, so I decided to go to Tokyo to watch the Christmas lights lighting up! Because you have a pass, you can have such freedom. The machine is convenient for seat selection. However, if there are more than two people traveling together, it will be difficult to draw seats together on trains that are too close in time. Please pay attention.

This time I bought a one-day pass to go to Chichibu and Nagatoro. Personally, I think it’s very worthwhile. The scenery is beautiful, especially the natural scenery of Nagatoro! But what you should pay special attention to is that the ticket exchange place has very short business hours, only from 8 am to 3 pm! Take the time to exchange your tickets! In addition, it is recommended to buy a special ticket and take La View to Chichibu. It saves time and the seats are very comfortable😌

Had the chance to try out Japan’s Shinkansen which is super fast and efficient. On top of that, highly commendable for its punctuality.
