Taoyuan

It was as comfortable as Japan's Shinkansen bullet train. I was glad I could use it at half price for a one-way trip. Booking was also smooth.

The store was small and a little hard to find, but I was able to find it by asking various people! The YuYu Card didn't have many options, and they were all anime character designs! But it was cheap, so it's totally fine!

The contact information provided the day before was clear, the driver was friendly, and after picking up the luggage, I contacted him by phone. He quickly arrived at the designated pick-up/drop-off point and even helped put the luggage in the trunk. He navigated the route using Google Maps, was a good driver, and the car was comfortable and clean. He was also willing to let me know if I had any special needs. Overall, it was great value for money and highly recommended! 👍🏻

Getting the KKday travel pass is easy, but the process of specifying dates and seats on the High Speed ​​Rail website afterwards is a pain! First of all, even though there's a Japanese language option, it doesn't work, and there are a lot of question marks when watching YouTube videos. When I tried to book on my PC while switching between YouTube and the High Speed ​​Rail website, my reservation disappeared 😱. After overcoming all that, I finally got the pass and exchanged it for a ticket at the local counter! Once I cleared the seat selection, it was really comfortable with unlimited rides! I wish the KKday website would add a much more detailed explanation of how to do this on the High Speed ​​Rail next time.

I had a pretty hectic schedule because I wanted to get all the perks, but I enjoyed each and every one of them! It was so convenient being able to enter trains and facilities with just one card. It was incredibly useful on my first trip to Taiwan!

At the ezTravel counter in front of the airport MRT ticket gate, scan the QR code for the staff to receive purple tokens for your outbound and return journeys. It's very convenient. Taoyuan Airport MRT offers a buy-three-get-one-free deal, which is 25% off – a super bargain!

My wife and I rented two units, and we were able to connect them without any problems. The battery drained faster than we expected; after using them for a full day, the remaining charge was almost zero. However, charging them overnight brought them back to 100%, so it wasn't a problem. The price was also reasonable at 2400 yen for two people for four days.

The data card is cheap and convenient; you can pick it up at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 1, and the staff will process it in 2 minutes. Internet access and phone calls are smooth throughout the trip.
