KINTETSU RAIL PASS (1Day / 2Days /5Days / Plus)

Great trip

Reviewed by: J Traveller

Easy to reserve the rail pass online, and then pick up in Japan. Kintetsu Rail is convenient to use within Osaka, and provides access to Kyoto and Nara. If you are limited with time, taking the JR Shinkansen may be better however as it is faster.

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

Wet weather adventure

Reviewed by: smartie

I booked the bus for a specific day, unfortunately that day was wet. The bus takes a great route around three different areas. we stayed on for the whole three journeys. the audio becomes a little repetitive when you travel the same roads. However the bus was great you sit up top so that you have the best view of the city. the down side is that if it is raining, you get wet. you are supplied with a wet weather poncho to wear which keeps out most of the weather but they blow around and inhibit the view. If I had of known this I would have not booked a specific day but an open ticket.

For some reason they do not allow photos. This is 2017, every smart phone has a camera and especially coming from a foreign country you want to capture the experience. Next time just watch online the dozens of postings.

We arrived and were given some tickets in exchange for our online voucher. Then we were taken to some folding chairs in a passageway. I dont understand why we didnt get a normal seat in the theatre.

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

Easy check-in; great experience

Reviewed by: Catherine

The Gion Odori was an emotional, moving performance. You could never have the same authentic experience anywhere but Japan. There were maiko and prominent Kyoto residents in the audience, too, so you know it’s for real! The Veltra booking service made it super easy to get a ticket as a foreigner. I picked up my ticket at the theater about 30 minutes before the performance.

Gion Odori Fall performance

Reviewed by: Ramon

The show was very nice with magnificent colors. The location of our seats (view of the scene) was very good but the quality of the seat was poor, we were on add-on type hard seats instead of the normal softer seats. The show lasts one hour and tends to be boring with the same music and voice all along. In any case, a must-see show to get acquainted with Japanese culture.

Great Service

Reviewed by: Eryn

Although, it rained our ENTIRE tour, we still had a good time. They provided plastic rain jackets which were great and we just stayed in the bus the entire trip around the city. Because the tickets are 24 hours, we were able to hop back on the next morning and actually see some sites OFF the bus. I forgot to print out my online ticket, but the ladies were able to work with the screenshot I showed on my phone. overall great experience.

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

100% worth it, definitely one of those rare Japanese experiences you gotta do in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Princeton

If you're fortunate enough to be in Kyoto for this, I recommend you absolutely do it!

A few things to note:
-Booking online through Veltra guarantees you a seat; we were originally going to wait for tickets at the theatre itself, but they had long lines on the day of and it was SUPER cramped.
-We arrived an hour early to check in; just showed a print out of the Veltra voucher and got some souvenir stickers, and the lady at check-in said "Your seats are not very nice, so please accept this as an apology" -she gave us a free souvenir cloth - the same ones the Geiko & Maiko throw at the crowd during the show!
-We opted for the Tea Ceremony - After getting into a bit of a tight line on the upper level for 20 minutes, we got a piece of mochi and a bowl of green tea - just enough for a few sips, nothing too crazy/big. The room it is held in is quite small; it felt like a classroom with desks very close to each other. You are squeezed into a spot as soon as the previous people have vacated their seats; No photos but there is a Maiko and a Geiko at the front of the room looking quite solemn/stern so you might be lucky to be seated directly in front of them while you're enjoying your snack but you're equally likely to be put in the far corner. Again, a tight squeeze.
-The seats were really not that bad, we were on the highest level and it seems like other Veltra buyers were too (other Westerners). The view for us was great but it seems you don't have a choice in selection.
-It's not in the same spot as Gion Corner; the theatre for this is actually across the street from the Yasaka Shrine.
-Everything's in Japanese, heads up - even the program you receive. Again, we're a couple of fairly smaller people under 5'8" and it was a bit cramped - so take note if you're on the larger side. We noticed a heftier American couple with mobility issues having a slightly tougher time... but they also talked through the entire show. Avoid coming with bags!

  • The first act of the show!

It was very convenient that we were able to book this pass even when we were already at the train station. Practical if your trips utilize this line a lot. It would be great if you could retrieve the actual passes in any station in the Kintetsu line and not only selected stations.

Great experience

Reviewed by: Jessica

Having the ticket beforehand has been great. I think there were still available tickets onsite when we got there but the place was pretty packed by showtime so still good to plan beforehand.

If you plan to do the tea ceremony, there will be several batches as the room is small. Try to sit in the first row to experience the Maiko serving you your tea.

Good show, bad seat

Reviewed by: Bervin Cheong

I was given a foldable chair to sit in while other had regular seats in the theatre. I understand that I was not the only one given such a seat but it indicated that the theatre oversold their tickets? And given that I purchased my ticket one month in advance, I don't see how it should come to that. Veltra, as the go between, you should really look into the matter, or at least drop the booking from your site – as it reflects badly on you to be listing activities that don't meet a certain standard for paying customers. The show was great though.

Performance was excellent but was treated like maximazing turnover - tea ceremony too fast and on a personal level having book most expensive options well in advance was disappointed to be on an end row -on an additional hard chair unlike the the more comfortable seats in the auditorium - so my 3 reflects the efforts of the artists not the management

Have been to Kyoto before but never saw a dance performance. It was fantastic and the seats were very good too. I really appreciated being able to get them from the US before the trip -- I expect they would have been sold out by the time we were in Kyoto, especially as we had 7 people attending. Thanks, Veltra!

JR Tower Observatory T38 Ticket

Awesome view of Sapporo!

Reviewed by: Liz M

I came here around 5ish in the evening - in Autumn, where it's already dark. The minute I got the lift - lo and behold! The view of the city from up here is amazing! It was hard to find the lift from the massive JR station and then the mall (Stellar Place) where you would need to get to the 6th floor then transfer to another lift that would lead you to the observatory. But once you get up here, it was all worth the effort! I was here on 31 October which was Haloween and the streets were full of kids- but it was so therapeutic here looking at the twinkling lights. I opted for the cake and drink package - as it was also my birthday and was delighted to know they had a special Haloween cake. The lights here were dimmed so you get a real good view of the city drenched in yellow lights. They also had a live classical performance that evening. Awesome!

KINTETSU RAIL PASS (1Day / 2Days /5Days / Plus)

Fairly good value, can visit many interesting places

Reviewed by: Jill

Kintetsu Rail is nice, but too bad the pass doesn't cover the limited express. You have to spend A LOT of time on the train to reach the value of the pass. Using veltra and getting the e-voucher was convenient for me, but staff at Namba station REALLY struggled to figure out how to scan the QR code...it took about 30 minutes to redeem the pass...
I think this pass would be best if you are staying near Namba station and want to visit several places in Nara and Ise.

There were times when it was bustling with tourists, but after a while, they disappeared, and I was able to enjoy tea while quietly taking in the sights of Sapporo. At least during my visit, it was quite calm compared to the lively atmosphere around Sapporo Station. There were also small souvenir shops. I would love to come back.

I made a reservation based on information from the internet.
It's located just a short walk from Harajuku Station, in an easy-to-find place.
There are a total of 9 owls, and you have about 40 minutes of interaction time during the hour.
They vary in size and expression, but all are very gentle, and I enjoyed petting them and having them perch on my arm.
I was healed by their cute appearances, thank you!
