It is very convenient to book Shinkansen train tickets on klook. You don’t have to worry about selecting the room and destination. You can spend time deciding what to eat, which is very good!

Buying this pass from klook is very cost-effective and convenient. Basically all transportation attractions are included. You must buy it in Hakone.

I took the limousine bus to Narita Airport from Sunshine Prince Hotel. If you exit through the entrance right next to the hotel reception desk, the airport bus stop is less than 50m away. The bus to Haneda Airport is also at the same stop. It was so close that it was very comfortable. Also, if you use the discount code on Klook, it is cheaper than booking on the limousine bus website. Just in case, I have attached a Google map of the bus stop.

It is very convenient and close to the hotel. Although the price has increased a lot (starting from 1,000 yen per trip), it is still the most convenient way to go to the airport with multiple luggage.

After buying the Shinkansen ticket online, it is very convenient to go directly to the machine to exchange the ticket. I don’t have to worry about not being able to sit. Moreover, Klook chose a seat very well and put me next to the luggage storage box at the front.
