I purchased the Kagawa Amazing Pass during a travel fair for about a quarter of the original price, which was a great deal. The passes I used included the Vent buffet at JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu, facilities around Yashima Island, and admission to Shikoku Village. Using them was very simple; basically, you just showed the pass's screen, and most staff at the participating facilities knew how to operate it without much explanation, making it quite convenient. However, there was one minor complaint: the QR code scanning machines or systems at the facilities seemed a bit unresponsive. Sometimes, just turning on the scanner took a while, and even then, scanning the QR code often failed on the first try. When using it at the JR hotel checkout counter, the QR code kept failing to scan, causing a delay of about 10 minutes. The counter staff had to keep trying, and it took quite some time before the pass was finally successfully redeemed. Hopefully, future improvements in scanning speed, recognition rate, and system stability will enhance the user experience. However, considering the discounted price at this travel fair, there's not much to complain about. Just using it to offset the cost of the buffet almost covers the price, and using it at other attractions or facilities afterwards is basically extra profit. If you happen to find a promotional price, the Kagawa Free Pass offers really great value, especially if your itinerary already includes participating restaurants, attractions, or facilities. It's definitely worth buying. The only thing I'd like to improve is the stability of the QR code scanning and verification system.
On a family trip, my 6th-grade son, my 3rd-grade daughter, and I participated in a swimming course. After receiving a thorough explanation at the beginning, we got to interact with "Sango-chan," the largest dolphin of the group. We were able to feed her, shake her hand, and even get a kiss on the cheek, experiencing the dolphins' cuteness up close. What was particularly memorable was the experience of holding onto Sango-chan's dorsal fin and swimming with her. We were able to experience the dolphins' strength and swimming speed firsthand, and the children were thrilled. Opportunities to touch dolphins are rare, so it became an unforgettable memory for our family. The staff's explanations were easy to understand, and even elementary school children were able to enjoy themselves with peace of mind. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a special experience with their children. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
You can exchange your ticket at JR stations in Shikoku by presenting your passport and proof of electronic ticket purchase. Although it cannot be used on private transportation in some cities, it can be used on JR lines throughout the Shikoku region. Overall, it is convenient, easy to use, and offers excellent value for money.
The driver will add you on Line beforehand and provide contact information. On the day of the trip, the driver arrived at the agreed hotel on time. The car was very comfortable and clean.
It's very convenient to take the Shinkansen and trains. You can reach all the major tourist attractions. No need to buy extra tickets.
