Gunma

I've booked this service several times when I'm in Japan; the service is excellent, and the driver always contacts me in advance.

It's very convenient and simple. You can check online tutorials and then operate the machine at the station. The Shinkansen will be ready to board and fill up. Just remember that some trains are reserved seats only!

The Tokyo Wide Pass is a great ticket for visiting less-visited spots near Tokyo and taking sightseeing trains.

On September 21st, while a typhoon was approaching, I visited the museum at 9:00 AM when it opened. I had reserved and purchased tickets through KKday, so I was able to enter smoothly, and the discount was a great help in the rain. Fortunately, the rain subsided after I entered, so I signed up for the 200 yen guided tour, and was able to look around without using an umbrella for most of the time. This tour lasts about 40 minutes, but the guide's explanations were excellent and it's a must-see. I was also able to see a demonstration of raw silk reeling up close, which was very nice. The silk reeling factory, with its Showa-era machinery still in place, was impressive, but the machinery was covered in dust, and I felt that some cleaning was necessary. I was also a little disappointed that there were so few buildings inside the museum that could be visited. I also noticed that the paint on the wooden parts of the buildings was peeling everywhere. I felt that while preserving the original condition, restoration for future preservation should be carried out without fail.

Excellent and convenient
