Tokyo

The Goryo bus was very clean, with ample legroom between seats, a friendly driver, and plenty of Wi-Fi and power outlets, making for a very comfortable ride. There was one rest stop at Hanyu Service Area along the way, and since the bus had a toilet, it was safe even with traffic, making it ideal for children. We arrived at 10:45 and were able to see the first performance at Wakamatsuya. Our itinerary included arrival → Wakamatsuya → costume rental → lunch → exploring the town → Oiran procession → ninja theater → changing clothes at the costume rental → ninja house → souvenir shopping → boarding the bus. We thoroughly enjoyed a full day of fun until our departure at 4 PM. On the way back, there was no need to drive, and we could sleep on the way, allowing us to fully enjoy our time at the destination. I highly recommend it.

We had a good experience

Shibuya Sky is definitely a must-visit observation deck in Tokyo! Located right above Shibuya Station, it's just a few minutes' walk from the station exit, making it incredibly convenient and avoiding any detours. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, as tickets for the golden sunset hours are extremely popular and it's easy to miss out on suitable time slots on-site. Booking ahead saves you a lot of trouble. The observation deck consists of an indoor corridor and an open-air rooftop platform. The open-air platform is the biggest highlight, offering a 360° panoramic view without any glass obstructions. You can directly overlook the famous Shibuya Crossing, with the dense flow of cars and pedestrians below, creating a truly breathtaking atmosphere. On a clear day, you can see Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree simultaneously, and with luck, you might even see Mount Fuji in the distance, taking in the entire cityscape of Tokyo. I chose to enter in the evening to see the daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. Watching the sunset paint the city in a warm gold, and then as darkness falls and the city lights gradually illuminate, creates a vibrant yet romantic atmosphere—it's incredibly soothing, and every snapshot looks like a professional photo. A word of caution: the rooftop terrace is very windy, so bring an extra jacket. If you're wearing a long dress, be sure to dress warmly, and tie your long hair up. If you get cold, you can always retreat to the indoor viewing area, which also has many great photo spots. The facilities are excellent, with lockers for luggage, and a rest area and restrooms. The only minor drawback is that it gets very crowded around sunset, so you'll have to queue for popular spots. Also, tripods are prohibited; you can only shoot handheld for nighttime views. Overall, the experience is fantastic, with expansive views that allow you to fully immerse yourself in Tokyo's vibrant cityscape. If you want to see a panoramic view of Tokyo, this place is definitely worth a visit.

My first time at Tokyo Skytree was great, and I really enjoyed it because of its grand scale! Plus, I was happy that it was collaborating with my favorite genre! The price wasn't exactly budget-friendly, and the entry method was different from what was explained, so I'm deducting one point.

You can redeem it upon arrival, it's super cost-effective and convenient! It can be used on all 13 Tokyo subway lines! 👍

There's a store in Hokkaido located in the international arrivals area for convenient pick-up and drop-off. Signal strength and speed are good in urban areas, but relatively poor in suburban areas.

I used this during my trip to Bangkok. Despite the low price, the connection was good and it was very convenient. The fact that everything could be handled through my smartphone thanks to the eSIM was also a big plus.

Buying tickets with KKday is fast and convenient, and there are occasional discounts.

After buying tickets in Taiwan, you can easily enter the theater in Japan by simply scanning a QR code. The environment outside the theater is lush and green, and the various movie scenes inside are also great. However, there are still a few interactive elements that could be improved.

I spent a day each at DisneySea (25th Anniversary) and Disneyland, which coincided with the Japanese Obon Festival. Security was quick; I just had to take a sip of my water bottle, scan my ticket, and I was allowed through. The most important advice is to plan your route in advance and arrive at the park early to save time by paying extra to grab or buy DPA (Disney Park Accessories). Keep a childlike heart and queue for every ride and show. Bring enough cash or credit cards to make the most of your time.
