Great Deal for 1-day exploration! Recommended!
Reviewed by: Jlove, 2018/05/05It was a great deal for a day pass. I explored areas during Shibazakura season and I was thrilled to visit the tourist spots.
I had a hard time though to find Seibu line tourist center in Ikebukuro station because I'm new here but managed to find it by asking.
It would be great if you can come earlier to find the center because it opens at 8 AM. It would also be helpful if you list all the tourist spots and stations you want to visit for smooth travel. I did not research at all and managed to plan my trip boarding the train with the help of the manuals they gave me along the ticket. I also end up skipping some spots because I board the express train and I am out of time to go back. All in all, I still do recommend this pass is a great deal for travelers. I may try this again with my friends.

Cool trip with friends
Reviewed by: Alexandra , 2018/02/26My friends and I wanted to experience something a little bit different from the big city so we decided to go see the icicles in Ashigakubo. The trip from Ikebukuro to Ashigakubo and Chichibu takes around 1 and a half hour and is a different type of train compared to the ones in Tokyo, so we had our own sort of private space to chat while getting there and enjoy the scenery. Once we got to Ahigakubo we went to see the icicles, it was pretty interesting to see them and see how they make them by spraying water over them; after going around it there's a small hill and once you climb it you can get free tea or amasake, I recommend getting the amasake :). The ticket to go to the icicles is for a whole day so returning during the night is a must! We decided to go to Chichibu and explore it a little bit, had dinner and then went back to Ashigakubo to see the illumination, it was so worth it.

Seibu 1 Day Discount Train Pass for Tokyo and Saitama/Review Rebate
Reviewed by: Ling, 2017/11/14We bought a one day seibu pass and the pass was so easy to use and convenient. Exchanging the veltra voucher for the ticket was fast at the tourist information counter at ikebukuro station. The station staff were friendly and helpful and gave us guide maps for the seibu route and told us the places we can explore. We used the guide by veltra to plan our day trips as we were ambitious and wanted to cover a few places. Our first stop was at kurosokhouse as we did not plan to hike through the totoro forest which would take hours. We took the train to kotesashi station then a local bus which was headed towards waseda university. A giant Totoro welcomed us at the door and it was so cute. We bought a few totoro badges as momentos and for our friends. Next we headed to grape picking at miyashin farm but it was at closed. Guess must be out of season. So we went to Kinchakuda Park although there were no more autumn leaves to see. We ended the day shopping Mitsui premium outlet before we headed back to Ikebukuro. Traveling with the seibu pass was easy and worth it. Thank you, Veltra!

Pleasant Day Out with Friends
Reviewed by: Velvet, 2017/10/12Using the guide on VELTRA, we customized a day trip for ourselves. We wanted a relaxed day out, so we chose to go to Kinchakuda Park, Alishan Cafe and Moomin Park. These three are relatively close to each other so they were easy to go to.
It was already past peak season when we went to Kinchakuda Park, but we managed to see spider lilies in full bloom. Alishan Cafe was such a lovely place to eat and the food was good. My absolute favorite is Moomin Park. I felt like I was in a fairy tale! I would definitely go there again, perhaps on a weekday when there are less people.
I recommend planning your day carefully. You can visit many places using the pass, but it would be difficult to do them all in one day.
