The staff at the Ikebukuro station were very friendly and explained in detail how to use the one-day pass. Using the physical ticket card at the manual check-in and exit lanes is quick and convenient; I recommend using it.
Highly recommended, it's very useful! After purchasing, I can pick up the ticket at Narita Airport. It's valid for three days and allows me to ski in Echigo-Yuzawa, visit Nikko-Tobu, and explore Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. Remember to reserve your seats online first.
This is a chain restaurant I've eaten at many times. The ingredients are always fresh, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they even assist with the grilling. I was very satisfied and full, and I'd definitely come back again!
Our tour guide, Sister Wenzi, provided a wealth of insightful explanations about Japan. The trip was quite fulfilling and enjoyable. The snow play area was perfect for children, the snow crab set meal was visually appealing, but the flavor was a bit bland. The all-you-can-eat strawberries were also a good choice. The long journey made the itinerary a little rushed, but the advantage of a group tour is that you can sleep and recharge on the bus. The driving was also very smooth, avoiding traffic jams. The experience at the bean curd shop was unforgettable, with plenty of samples, and the owner and staff were incredibly friendly!
The original speed is fast, but there should be a daily limit; it's still quite useful though.
