Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Great way to get to know Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Gizem

The online registration and check in process was very smooth. We took the tour on a cold December day and they have provided covered bus option for certain times, which was great. For the double decker they have also provided hand warmers and blankets which were much appreciated. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only improvement I would recommend would be to provide more historic information on the tour. Try this tour if you have limited time in Tokyo!

So fun!

I did the same tour by myself last year and enjoyed it a lot! So this year I took my parents and they were overwhelmed with the city! So this tour just gives you a great overview and is quite informative too! Recommend (again) :)

【入場チケット】JRタワー展望室「タワー・スリーエイト」入場券 地上160mのオシャレ空間から見渡す大パノラマ<札幌市>

It's hard to find the elevator platform. エレベーターの乗り場が見つかりにくい

Reviewed by: trip232015

You can see the JR Tower from the outside, so I wandered around the first floor below it. When I reached the 38th floor, there were signs indicating directions in each corridor to the east, west, south, and north, allowing for a full loop. The lighting was dimmed, creating a calm atmosphere where I could enjoy drinks while taking in the night view.

外からはJRタワーは見えるので、その下の1階フロアをうろうろしましたが、、、。38階に着くと、東西南北の各回廊には方向が示してあり、一周できます。照明を落とした落ち着いた雰囲気で、夜景を見ながら、ドリンクを楽しめました。

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Advanced reservation was totally worth it.

Reviewed by: Abs

Tickets were waiting for us so we could skip the line. The event it self was totally worth it. We got decent seats, not the best...we booked 2 weeks in advance so I'd recommend booking earlier if you want the good seats.

Tea ceremony was worth it, it's a bit rushed and can't see much if you're not in the first 2 rows, so try to wait by the entrance to be the first ones in. You get a small amount of good matcha, a little sweet thing and you get to keep the saucer the it's served on.

We didn't pay any extra free for booking via Veltra so props to Veltra for this!

10/10 would book through Veltra again.

Gion Odori

Reviewed by: Shadow

This was an amazing experience even without understanding Japanese. The Geiko and Meiko performed dance/acting performance to a set theme and live music is also played. Some of the stage backdrops were very beautiful as well. At the end they threw signed a fabric with all the names of the performers out and we were lucky enough to catch one. I highly recommend going to a performance like this at least once!

Amazing. When I arrived I was directed to the counter where the reserved tickets were, I then went to watch the tea ceremony, which was amazing. Then we were led to the theatre, I was given a seat in the front row - the odori was amazing - great dancing, beautiful costumes, music and singing was amazing. If you are in Kyoto in early November please go to this.

Legit Voucher and good seats

Reviewed by: Anna R

This is legit, I printed voucher from home and presented it in Gion Kaikan 30 mins before tea ceremony and show. Tickets and seats were prepared and got good seats.
Show was okay, would've been better if they talked about the geisha culture prior to show start. Tea ceremony is okay, it's a classroom type arrangement and the geisha/maiko doesn't necessarily serve you.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Lovely Traditional Dance was a Great Experience

Reviewed by: BelaES

My friend and I attended a performance of Gion Odori at the 1:30pm time on a Sunday. Getting to the theater is easy and there is nearby parking for anyone driving.

Upon arrival the ticket office immediately recognized us as having reservations (maybe it was me fumbling with the confirmation email) and produced our tickets and sent us into the theater almost instantly. The lovely usher sat us and we had the good fortune to get really good seats and they were together. The theater was quite packed so definitely get there on time.

The dance itself was very interesting. The free little flyer we got before entering the theater does give a little explanation on each dance in English, but it was a little sparse so try to do a little research before coming if you really want to understand the stories.

Otherwise, it was a full hour from entering to leaving of gorgeous dancing, costumes, and sets, with the traditional music accompaniment really clinching the feel of authenticity. If you're in town, definitely try to catch this performance!

Reviewed by: Adrian

Absolutely loved the evening. Great venue & amazing food. The Maiko & Geiko were delightful - loved watching them perform and was overjoyed at opportunity to talk to them and be able to ask questions. Had seen the Gion Adori (annual dance of Geisha) the day before and loved it but being even closer to them & experiencing the geisha hospitality was amazing.

This is my second time watching Kyogen. 狂言2回目です

Reviewed by: なみなみ

I attended a performance for the first time in June. The pre-show explanation provided an overview of the flow and the comedic moments, making it easy to get into the experience. After the show, the actors added further explanations, which deepened my understanding. There was also a photo opportunity, and during the part where the story was expressed through a traditional play, when I requested a ghost, they creatively acted it out, making for a very enjoyable time. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't that time this time. I will invite different friends to go see it again. Ten people might be difficult, though! (*^.^*)

When I went, the weather wasn't very good, so I didn't have high expectations, but from the top, I could see surprisingly far, and it was very interesting. I was tired from walking, so the cake set was unexpectedly delicious and really comforting. Next time, I want to visit when the weather is better.

I made a reservation through Veltra and printed out the coupon, which made the check-in process smoother than I expected. Before heading to the nearby Sapporo Beer Garden, I took my time enjoying various views as it transitioned from light to dark. I had read quite a few reviews mentioning that "the location is hard to find," so I was somewhat prepared, which helped me find it easily.

ベルトラさんで予約してクーポンをプリントアウト、当日受付にて渡したところ予想以上にスムーズでした。
近くのサッポロビール園に行く前、明るいうちから暗くなる時にゆっくり滞在したので色々な景色を楽しむことができました。

Promotion strategy

Reviewed by: gan

kintetsu pass is good!
it can be better if kintetsu railway to offer 5-10 places/tourist spots with huge discount such as
for example, offer free ticket to
-Osaka Umeda sky building,
-Nara temple ticket( forgot which one) ,
-Nagoya castle ticket,
-Uji 平等宫 ticket
to attract ppl travel along the line.

in my opinion, the small discount is not going to attract tourists much.
hope my idea help you.

If you make a reservation here, it will be cheaper due to group discounts. It's a good deal.

Great option to travel on a budget. I absolutely reccommend it.

Reviewed by: Edgar

Perfect for travelers on a budget. You cannot get a better deal to travel between Nagoya and Osaka (beautiful Kyoto included), and even other areas. The trips take longer but you get to know many places and scenery that you would miss if you were to take the shinkansen. You cannot ride the limited express trains with this pass. TIP: take the express trains that skip many stations, DO NOT take the semi-express or the local trains as they stop at every station.
