All Reviews for Tickets

There are always queues to buy train tickets in Japan, so if you use the rail pass you have only 1time to stay in the queue to exchange your voucher.

My girls and I truly enjoyed the experience. With several types of owls and sizes, everyone was comfortable in petting and holding these beautiful creatures. And the staff was awesome!

Having to line up for 45min at the ticket office to redeem our prepaid voucher when unreserved people could purchase tickets 15 mins before was frustrating to say the least. Not enough buses, had to wait over an hour for the next bus only to wait in line again for people who had not purchased their tickets. The audio recording stopped half way through the description and was often out of sync with the locations.
If your interested in historic or cultural sights and information, don’t waste your time and money on this tour.

The kintetsu rail pass is all you need when you want to travel nagoya-osaka-kyoto-nara, and add a bit you can go to kobe as well. It’s hassle free.

It may take a long time to get from nagoya to osaka if you don’t pay for the rapid. It took us around 5-6hrs from nagoya to osaka.

My family and I enjoyed the tour, it was informative and so much to see and take in...
I liked the audio narration option on the tour, it was presented in English
I would recommend the tour and to arrive as early as possible, furthermore it leaves the option of going back to explore further by using the “ hop on and off “ option...

We found this tour to be well worth the money. It was easy to exchange the online voucher at the office and immediately catch the purple line. The purple line was significantly more interesting than the blue line, but both were worth it. This was an effective way to get around Tokyo and see many beautiful areas. Highly recommend.

Sry easy and convenient to purchase in advance. Collection process was simple

Too few stops. Need to increase stops for places of interest

This is definitely a great way to start your tour in Tokyo. The bus ride over the bridge to Tokyo Bay is exhilarating! Just make sure you sit all the way at the front because the wind on the high way is no joke. There are multiple buses so if you want to see more stuff you can easily switch. The price is about the same if you were to take the underground metro, but you get a guided tour instead on the bus! Thanks for a great experience!!

Easy to buy tickets and very friendly staff, but the audio guide was really uninteresting, almost boring. Often landmarks were discussed after they had already passed out of view. Stops are spaced very far apart, and not necessarily where you would want to get off. It's a reasonable way to spend a sunny day but expect to take the subway to get where you want to go.

The pass generates huge savings for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya, albeit a limited express ticket is required for both trips. The distance took about 2 hours but time seemed to pass swiftly in the Limited Express train. The only confusion i have with Kintetsu Rail Pass is you don't really know if a particular route required an additional limited express ticket or not. You still use your Kintetsu Rail Pass for the gate entry and need not show/use your limited express ticket unless randomly checked by the train officers while travelling.

Always carry your passport and Kintetsu Rail Pass with you when you are required to purchase a limited express ticket. The ticket sales office will need it for verification and sell you at a discount instead of the usual fare.

After enjoying the night view from Mount Moiwa, I visited here. The night view was beautiful in a different way. There were fewer people than I expected, so I was able to relax.

藻岩山の夜景を堪能した後に訪れました。また違った夜景で綺麗でした。思ったより人が少なくゆっくり出来ました。

Easy to use and convenient! Recommended for foreign tourist!

I have been to JR Tower at night, so I visited during the day this time. The weather was great, the view was amazing, and I enjoyed my beer deliciously. 😊

夜のJRタワーは、行った事があるので日中に行ったのですが、天気もよく眺めも最高で、ビールを美味しくいただけました(^^)v

Since I went around 3 PM, it wasn't crowded, and I was able to fully enjoy the scenery. The night view must be nice too, but I think it's better to enjoy the mountain landscapes during the day... The cake set was also delicious.

午後3時頃に行ったので混雑もしておらず、景色を存分に楽しむことができました。
夜景も良いのでしょうが、山々の風景を楽しむなら日中の方が良いと思いまして…
ケーキセットも美味しかったです。

It was quiet on a weekday, allowing for a leisurely visit. It takes about 5 minutes to walk around. The view from the 38th floor is breathtaking!

平日で空いていて、ゆっくりと見学できました。一周歩いて約5分くらいです。38階からの景色は絶景です!

I had a great time traveling around Osaka, Nara, Ise, and Nagoya. I even had a chance to take the Shimakaze, although I added a certain amount for the limited express trains. I just booked online then claimed it at the Kintetsu Nagoya station without hassle. I only had one difficulty when I had to change my destination from Iseshi to Ujiyamada station. I tried to talk to a staff in Kintetsu Nara station about it but he told me No English. The staff in Namba Osaka station were very kind to assist me regarding this matter. All in all, it is a great pass.

Timetable schedule was really precise. I do really love to stay in Japan

Beautiful, fantastic and great show!!
I will go to Gion next spring to watch spring MAIKO and GEISHA Dance show in kyoto Japan.

This was one of the better hop on/off bus tours I did in Japan. The timetables were fairly good and there was a good number of stops. Staff were all very friendly and well informed about the bus routes. I recommend doing both blue and purple routes.

On the blue route most people only get off at Tokyo Skytree and it is worth it. However, the next bus is in an hour and then 1.5hrs (2.5hrs from when I got off). I just about managed to get back down within an hour because I bought a fast lane ticket at double the price, because I didn't want to spend 2.5hrs at the one spot.

As they only accepted a printed ticket from their office it meant finding Veltra office. However, I wasted a bit of time in the morning finding Veltra. I eventually found it when I asked Sky Bus Tours office where Veltra was and they said "that's us" - don't know how I was suppose to know that. So you should google map search Sky tours not Veltra.

The most annoying thing about the tour was the timing of the guide audio; it was either interrupted by the next location fact or it'd say "look to your left and you'll see..." and it was nowhere in site. I think this could be resolved if the driver went slower. Alternatively, investment in a better audio system would be ideal judging from other people's reviews.

Good way to explore :
Kyoto
Nara
Nagoya
Matsusaka
Ise shima
Toba
Kashikojima

I use Kintetsu Rail Pass to experience sightseeing of inside train transportation of Kintetsu line round trips from Nagoya station to other Kintetsu line stations. I found some gates not functioned my card, i.e. not allowed me to get into stations after I got off. However, Manger of stations checked the card and let me get into stations. The card support me great value.

The bus and the route were good but the commentary was poor. There could have been so much more information provided, about the history of the city, interesting characters that have lived in Tokyo, about the design of the city, about the evolution of architectural styles, about how people lived 100, 200 years ago. I stead the commentary was dull. A pity.

I'm glad it was not crowded on a weekday. Sapporo is a spacious city, and I think it's worth experiencing at least once. The time from dusk to night is highly recommended for the views.

平日で空いていてよかったです。札幌の街は広くて、一度体験してみるのは良いと思います。夕暮れから夜景の時間帯がおススメです。

With the pass, the trip from Nagoya Chubu Airport to Osaka was really save a lot of money and our time. Just headed on to Osaka from Kinetsu Nagoya station without worry. However, if you would like to travel from Osaka to Kyoto with Kinetsu pass, the travel duration will be longer and will not worth. That’s why I go for Keihan line instead of Kinetsu. I strongly recommend to purchase Kinetsu pass with proper planning. As it’s really worth for money that you paid and save a lot of time queuing.

Convenient great value.nice service change ticket and show your passport at numba.

This owl cafe is nicely located, though a little hard to find since it's up a staircase off a side street. The waiting area with beverages was welcoming, and the staff were friendly. The area with the owls was brightly lit, and because of the windows it felt like a nice location for the owls to live. A great experience overall.

We were not able to see the whole of Tokyo. Since they hardly speak english, we missed our bus. And the next bus we had to take was on its way back to our pick up point. If we take another color coded bus, it would be too late for us to go back to Shinjuku where we are staying.

When it comes to the night views of Sapporo, there's "Mount Moiwa," "TV Tower," and here at "JR Tower." (Norubesa might be included as well.) Each has its own charm, but especially the night view from the northern side of Sapporo is unique to this location. While it may not have the glitz of the southern side, you can enjoy a more tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, in the observation room, you can purchase a wall clock designed like the "Starry Grand Clock," the symbol of Sapporo Station. It brings back memories of Sapporo even when you're indoors.

札幌の夜景といえば、「藻岩山」「テレビ塔」そしてここ「JRタワー」。(ノルベサもかな)
それぞれに魅力がありますが、特に札幌の北方面の夜景はここならでは。
南方面のようなきらびやかさはありませんが、落ち着いた雰囲気が楽しめます。
なお、展望室では札幌駅のシンボル「星の大時計」と同じデザインの掛時計が購入できます。
部屋の中でも札幌の思い出がよみがえります。

It was very helpful for our budget when we were in Osaka and Kyoto and also from Nagoya to Osaka. Thank you very much.
