Japan
We waited for almost 30 minutes before we were able to board a train because there was no image of the QR code in the voucher and the person in charge in the station has to check for the voucher number to retrieve our booking. Good thing the person who attended to us was accommodating. The voucher is useful though.
It is a value for money to travel from Nagoya to Toba area using this pass. It'll be even better if it include some vouchers for Limited express service as in old pass for traveller that time is precious to rush from one location to another. Definitely will use this pass to travel to Osaka and Nara area too!
We got this pass to go from Kyoto to Nara, as we wanted to visit the deers. We bought in online, a couple of weeks before our trip to Japan, and had no issues whatsoever.
We had a wonderful time in Nara. Hopefully we'll be able to return sooner than later!
Not enough stops, not enough pick-up points.
English narrative was good.
Good for what it was worth. Good discounts on the places I visited. Didn't ride the bus or trains as much but it was very convenient to use.
A group of us took a week long trip to the Kansai region for cherry blossom viewing. We took the Kintetsu 5 day pass and used Osaka as a base for the first few days, covering Osaka, Kyoto ans Nara. We then used the Kintetsu network traveling to kashikojima, Toba, Matsusaka, before returning to Osaka. The 5 day pass was perfect. It saved us a lot of money.
We took Kintetsu ride from Kyoto to Tsu, then Tsu to Nagoya during our family visits ... as we choose to ride Express train with reserved seats, our traveling experience was very comfortable (even had a chance to catch up our nap lol) ... we enjoyed beautiful nature among the way ... 5 days pass gave us an extra time to stay in Tsu, even we could use the pass to visit Ise Shrine and more... Great saving ! Great value :)
Easy to exchange for real ticket. Very convenient. No need to wait for a ticket. I recommend to reserve via Veltra
WE returned our tickets, as it was inconvenient to use , it was raining and we were too tired.
Good way to explore Tokyo City. It was raining but covers on our bus is inoperable
It is worse than a similar service in Hong Kong by three criteria:
1) Flexibility for Hop-On and Off users
Purple and Red paths differ only by 3 stations. A short (3-stops) Purple extension to the Red one would be a better option for covering all sites.
2) Usage as an all-weather carrier from point A to point B.
No sitting places on the lower deck is a serious disadvantage on rainy or too sunny days.
3) No Russian language in the list. Adding this option is cheap and will draw more customers from CIS countries like myself (My wife does not speak English and I had to translate for her)
4) The good news is that Tokyo service is organized better than that in Kyoto :)
Easy access and close to all main attractions; child friendly which was a bonus
I found the five day pass very useful -and economical-for exploring south of Nara...I wanted to attend some of the three day miwa Jinja festival and visit mt. Yoshino
I booked several very interesting and welcoming Airbnb accommodations and the whole thing worked out well.
I highly recommend this pass.
It was really easy and simple purchasing the Kintetsu Rail Pass for me recent trip to Japan. in particular, Nara. this 2 day pass allowed me to travel on the Kintetsu line to Mount Yoshino and also use the buses in Nara. Really happy I purchased it before my trip.
There are always queues to buy train tickets in Japan, so if you use the rail pass you have only 1time to stay in the queue to exchange your voucher.
My girls and I truly enjoyed the experience. With several types of owls and sizes, everyone was comfortable in petting and holding these beautiful creatures. And the staff was awesome!
Hello. Thank you for coming. I am very happy that you enjoyed it. Owls are a wonderful bird. We will do our best to be a good place for customers and owls. Thank you very much!
Having to line up for 45min at the ticket office to redeem our prepaid voucher when unreserved people could purchase tickets 15 mins before was frustrating to say the least. Not enough buses, had to wait over an hour for the next bus only to wait in line again for people who had not purchased their tickets. The audio recording stopped half way through the description and was often out of sync with the locations.
If your interested in historic or cultural sights and information, don’t waste your time and money on this tour.
The kintetsu rail pass is all you need when you want to travel nagoya-osaka-kyoto-nara, and add a bit you can go to kobe as well. It’s hassle free.
It may take a long time to get from nagoya to osaka if you don’t pay for the rapid. It took us around 5-6hrs from nagoya to osaka.
My family and I enjoyed the tour, it was informative and so much to see and take in...
I liked the audio narration option on the tour, it was presented in English
I would recommend the tour and to arrive as early as possible, furthermore it leaves the option of going back to explore further by using the “ hop on and off “ option...
We found this tour to be well worth the money. It was easy to exchange the online voucher at the office and immediately catch the purple line. The purple line was significantly more interesting than the blue line, but both were worth it. This was an effective way to get around Tokyo and see many beautiful areas. Highly recommend.
Sry easy and convenient to purchase in advance. Collection process was simple
Too few stops. Need to increase stops for places of interest
This is definitely a great way to start your tour in Tokyo. The bus ride over the bridge to Tokyo Bay is exhilarating! Just make sure you sit all the way at the front because the wind on the high way is no joke. There are multiple buses so if you want to see more stuff you can easily switch. The price is about the same if you were to take the underground metro, but you get a guided tour instead on the bus! Thanks for a great experience!!
Easy to buy tickets and very friendly staff, but the audio guide was really uninteresting, almost boring. Often landmarks were discussed after they had already passed out of view. Stops are spaced very far apart, and not necessarily where you would want to get off. It's a reasonable way to spend a sunny day but expect to take the subway to get where you want to go.
The pass generates huge savings for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya, albeit a limited express ticket is required for both trips. The distance took about 2 hours but time seemed to pass swiftly in the Limited Express train. The only confusion i have with Kintetsu Rail Pass is you don't really know if a particular route required an additional limited express ticket or not. You still use your Kintetsu Rail Pass for the gate entry and need not show/use your limited express ticket unless randomly checked by the train officers while travelling.
Always carry your passport and Kintetsu Rail Pass with you when you are required to purchase a limited express ticket. The ticket sales office will need it for verification and sell you at a discount instead of the usual fare.
After enjoying the night view from Mount Moiwa, I visited here. The night view was beautiful in a different way. There were fewer people than I expected, so I was able to relax.
藻岩山の夜景を堪能した後に訪れました。また違った夜景で綺麗でした。思ったより人が少なくゆっくり出来ました。
Easy to use and convenient! Recommended for foreign tourist!
I have been to JR Tower at night, so I visited during the day this time. The weather was great, the view was amazing, and I enjoyed my beer deliciously. 😊
夜のJRタワーは、行った事があるので日中に行ったのですが、天気もよく眺めも最高で、ビールを美味しくいただけました(^^)v
Since I went around 3 PM, it wasn't crowded, and I was able to fully enjoy the scenery. The night view must be nice too, but I think it's better to enjoy the mountain landscapes during the day... The cake set was also delicious.
午後3時頃に行ったので混雑もしておらず、景色を存分に楽しむことができました。
夜景も良いのでしょうが、山々の風景を楽しむなら日中の方が良いと思いまして…
ケーキセットも美味しかったです。
It was quiet on a weekday, allowing for a leisurely visit. It takes about 5 minutes to walk around. The view from the 38th floor is breathtaking!
平日で空いていて、ゆっくりと見学できました。一周歩いて約5分くらいです。38階からの景色は絶景です!
