A very convenient package, but the station in Nagoya is too big, so it takes a while to find the exchange location. The package includes an Inuyama Castle admission ticket, and discount coupons for old streets are available.

When the weather is clear, the scenery is beautiful. Walking along the river embankment is very pleasant and worth planning a day. Nagoya Station is so big that the exchange location is a bit hard to find.

At the same time, there are tickets and a round trip by tram, which is very worthwhile~ There are also coupons from some stores, but the tickets must be redeemed at the ticket office of Inuyama Castle before they can be used!

You need to print out the order and go to the window to exchange for physical tickets. When you go to Inuyama Castle, you have to go to the ticket office to exchange for tickets. Although I didn’t use the discount coupons and the park discount, the whole purchase was considered convenient and cost-effective~~

It’s super convenient to buy and use right away. I arrived early that day, but there was a long queue at the ticket gate. Even though I couldn’t buy additional tickets, there was still a counter where I could buy them after entering.

It’s cheaper to buy on klook. If you need to connect to the Internet, it’s very convenient to just swipe the QR CODE to enter and exit the website. If you have changed the SIM card, you will need to enter your email to receive the verification code when opening it.
