Shizuoka

I redeemed the JR Tokyo Wide Pass directly at Narita Airport this time. The process was smooth and the instructions were clear, which was a big plus as I didn't have to go to a counter in the city. For someone who had just landed and still had luggage, less travel meant less expense, so the overall first impression was that it was "friendly to beginners." 🧳🗺️ In actual use, the biggest advantage is the wide range of routes covered. Places near Tokyo like Karuizawa, Kawaguchiko, and Nikko can all be covered in one trip. 🚄 As long as the itinerary is planned in advance, taking JR trains for long distances over several consecutive days quickly recoups the cost, making it very cost-effective. Seating arrangements and transfers were also smooth, requiring minimal planning. 📍 Overall, this pass is suitable for "itinerary-oriented" travelers. Those who plan their routes in advance and focus on key destinations will benefit the most. It's not for impromptu, random travel, but as long as the direction is clear, transportation costs can be kept very low. 💡

The view was amazing. The atmosphere was open and stylish, and there were plenty of places to sit and relax, so I completely lost track of time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ropeways come one after another, so you can be flexible with your descent time. I enjoyed the view of Mt. Fuji to my heart's content while sipping the coffee that came with the set. My phone was out of signal, so I couldn't open the voucher when I was descending, so I recommend taking a screenshot (although I was able to board after confirming with the phone number I registered when I purchased the ticket).
