The art work is quite good. You can walk around and relax, but it's not that amazing. I've never been to Tokyo, so I can't compare. But I've been to Singapore, and it's quite a different style.

It is very convenient to use the card to go to Kyoto, Kobe and Nara quickly, saving a lot of transportation costs. It is very cost-effective! You can search for specific available station descriptions.
