Purchased via klook and confirmation was very fast (2-3mins) so I was able to redeem it immediately at the ticket counter at Goryu. just had to show them the QR code and they will scan and issue the pass.

Pass on klook is much cheaper than at the Ticket Counter. it’s around SGD77 at the Ticket Counter but only SGD71 on klook + the pass on klook already includes the 500yen deposit for the card.

bus was on time and well organised. heaps of room and I was assigned two seats along with most passengers. rest stops were good and not too short and perfect amount of time to break up the trip. amazing views along the way.

Very convenient, no limit on the ticket collection date, you only need to go to the on-site machine to read the Qrcode to get the physical ticket card, and you can return the ticket card to get the deposit back when you leave

Although the bus was 30 minutes late, the staff was very helpful in confirming our names and loading our luggage when we arrived, and the arrival time was also estimated to be around the same.
