Not only is it cost-effective, but the bus fare in Karuizawa varies depending on the distance traveled, so I didn't have to check the fare each time I got on or off and prepare small change, which made the ride very smooth.
I bought a 5-day pass and stayed in Sendai for 3 days, starting from the last day. The Matsushima ferry ticket, grilled oysters, and grilled fish rice cake boat are must-dos.
