Tohoku

The price was high, but the convenience was undeniable. They picked me up from the hotel, and while the driver was a bit reserved and didn't say much, it was still acceptable – at least he didn't try to strike up a conversation, which could have been awkward. Highway tolls and parking fees were added, so the actual price was a bit higher. It was a great travel experience, saving me the hassle of queuing, transferring, and parking; I could just get out and start exploring.

The ship is quite large, and the pier is easy to find. Boarding is on the 3rd floor. When traveling in Japan, be sure to arrive early to choose a better seat. If you want to rest on the ship, it is recommended to bring a sleeping bag. It takes 3.5 hours to reach Aomori Port! During peak season and before the New Year, it is easier than taking the JR line!

beautiful scenery, the drivers were on time. but we did not get to go to the mountains. food options were limited

It's convenient and cheaper than buying tickets on-site. The attraction is also great for bringing children to explore the local history and culture.

It's convenient, fast, and the process isn't too complicated. You can pre-select a later train to reserve a seat and ensure you have a designated seat. You can also tell the station staff in advance that you can change to an earlier train to get a non-reserved seat!
