After paying the money, I received the pass in the mail very quickly, which was very convenient. With the redemption voucher in hand, it’s quick and crisp when you get to the green window to redeem it, and you can now book your own ride from the ticket machine, which is more convenient than filling out a paper.

You can scan the QR Code to issue tickets through the self-service ticket vending machine, which is very convenient. Unlimited rides on the Hokuriku Shinkansen with unreserved seats and regular cars are a great deal.

Rimiko is truly amazing. She made my trip to Kanazawa absolutely delightful and she was very helpful every step of the way. The best part was when she initiated contact to discuss expectations and what you wanted to see and experience. Other guides do this last minute but with her she did it way advance.
During the tour she explained things well and overall she made the whole experience so wonderful that I plan to stay longer in Kanazawa next time.
