Adding a Tohoku tour to Matsushima for a boat trip, grilled oysters, fish cakes, and scallops is a great deal. Just be aware that many attractions close after 4 PM, so it's recommended to leave early. Zuigan-ji Temple in Matsushima is highly recommended. Tateyama-ji Temple in Yamagata is also highly recommended. If time is limited, you can skip the Basho Memorial Museum.
I took a bus from Karuizawa Station to see places like Shiraito Falls, Mikasa Kaikan, and Old Karuizawa. The bus route is long, and normally, getting on and off the bus would cost a considerable amount, but this voucher was incredibly cost-effective. Showing the screen was all it took, and it was so smooth – I'm so glad I bought it! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Karuizawa's famous spots! ♡♡
We toured the site with a guide who explained everything in a very clear, engaging, and entertaining way. The system and buildings here, which were pioneers in Japanese industry, were truly impressive.
The travel pass is useful, and the included discount coupon for Ichiban-gai (a shopping street in Taiwan) would be even better if it could be used directly.
