Very convenient from purchase or to Hong Kong airport pickup. It is also quite convenient to arrive at Kansai Airport in Japan to exchange for a reserved seat. One Pass can go to Namba, Wakayama, Shirahama, Kii Katsura, Nachiyama, Ise, Nagoya is really very good value, next time will definitely order through Klook 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

make sure to consider travel time. if you are in a hurry and cant stand more than 30mins of train ride with stops every 3-6mins, then buy the first class ticket right after the entrance. you can use this ticket to enter using qr code but u can only rider the regular train- no need for rservation but with several/frequent stops.

I had an unforgettable crab feast at Kani Honya in front of Nagoya Station. Although the price was a little higher when I booked through Klook, if you use the discount coupon of your credit card, the price difference is actually not big, and it saves you the trouble of not knowing Japanese. , the store will also specially arrange waiters who understand a little English to serve. The appetizer plate that was presented to you first after you were seated was served with king crab legs and tuna sashimi, which was amazingly fresh. The crab meat sushi roll is especially recommended. You can feel the full amount of crab meat in every bite, with rich layers. The croquettes and fried crab claws are crispy on the outside and juicy and delicious on the inside. Crab roe siomai is full of aroma, and you can taste the sweetness of crab meat in one bite. Seasonal vegetables are cooked to perfection, adding a refreshing touch to the overall meal. The crab miso soup at the end is rich but not cloying. The fruit yogurt for dessert was the perfect ending to this feast. The friendly and attentive attitude of the service staff also adds to the dining experience.

The dolphin show was very exciting and beautiful. It was the first time I saw a killer whale and it was so big. I thought Nagoya Aquarium was really worth a visit. It was awesome.
