I’m maximized this pass so much even though there were times that I fell asleep so quickly and early! Very useful pass if you want to go from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka on a longer but beautiful route! I absolutely loved Ishikawa and Nagano! if you have plans to pass by those two areas then you should take this pass! the amount I consumed using this pass was more than ¥50,000 and this is valued at ¥30,000! go for it for a different experience!

blessed with a cloudy weather that turned sunny in the afternoon, thank you to the amazing tour guides, Arlene even gave us warming pads that was thoughtful, the Japanese guide is also considerate and always smiling, I just wish there was more more time at Gokayama because we arrived very early at Kanazawa at around 3:50pm, I think we could have extended a bit at Gokayama and Aikokura village

The location is good and the transportation is very convenient. It is only a short walk from Kanazawa Station. The room is spacious and clean, and the service is friendly and courteous. If you need to collect goods, they are very happy to help. The supplies in the room are surprisingly easy to use and are cheaper than usual. The quality of the items used in the hotel is better. It is highly recommended to stay here when traveling to Kanazawa.

Amazing tour! Our main tour guide mainly speaks Japanese but there was another person who did the English translation so the information was clear for everyone. The tour itinerary was well planned and they gave us a lot of time to explore on our own. I highly recommend this!
