Correct. Hakone Pass includes round trip train on Odakyu line between Odawara and Shinjuku

@@travistravels8818 thank you☺

Yes Capital One Mastercard. No international transaction fee. Good eye!

From a pure economic and convenience standpoint, it’s worth it bc the 4-day pass is cheaper than buying all tickets individually. However, covering that much ground in one day will be incredibly rushed and tiring. You will spend more time in trains/buses than actually sightseeing

Thanks for the kind words!

Hi there. It’s personal preference, you can either select checking or saving depending on which one has enough balance to cover the withdrawal. There’s no difference in terms of exchange rate

What’s your favorite dish at Nakau? Just curious

@@travistravels8818 ah the katsudon with pork cutlets and scrambled eggs...the nakau in nagoya's sakae area got tired of seeing me coming back every night 😆i miss the rice bowl so much

Nice! I’ll definitely try that next time

Hi there! It depends on the terminal. In terminal 3, where most international flights arrive, i don’t believe there’s a passmo passport vending machine. However there is a Suica welcome vending machine that’s open 24/7 just after customs. The two cards are interchangeable (although passmo passport is way more colorful imho). Good luck!

Hi there! Yes you can buy the pass in advance either at the Asakusa station Tobu ticketing office or online. I bought it 2 weeks in advance on Klook. Have fun!

Thanks for the reply

Hi! No fee was listed on the receipt. So either 7 Bank doesn’t charge a fee or it’s already baked into the exchange rate

Thank you. Yes you can take luggage onto the train but bear in mind the luggage space is very limited and is located at one end of each car. Overhead space usually cannot accommodate anything bigger than a carryon. Pass only includes the Odakyu regular train not romance car. You have to pay extra to upgrade to romance car.

Thank you so much for answering , a bit stressed about some reservations . The simple train is ok for me , what is the name of the classic train for hakone ? Included in the pass ? :)

Hi! The train included in the pass is the Odakyu Line train. It goes from Shinjuku station to Odawara station in about 2 hrs. Then take another train from odawara to Hakone Yumoto station which is the first official station of the Hakone region. It’s all included in the pass

And the comeback is included too ? Thank you so much for helping me . A good day and thanks for all :) .

So glad to hear it. Thank you for watching!

Wow, two shows in one day! That’s efficient!

@@travistravels8818 My audience episodes of Jeopardy & Price will respectively air May 10 & June 4.

Excellent! October is a good time to go, less crowded. Have a wonderful trip!

Hi there! Fortunately toilet paper is provided. They have self check in kiosks as well as receptionists.

@@travistravels8818 thanks because I reserved same stotetsu fresa inn at toyocho location. Now I will need to learn how to use one with spray and toilet paper wipe

Hi there! Revaty roundtrip bought separately costs about 6700yen. 2-day nikko world heritage pass plus discounted revaty upgrade costs about 6000yen. 4-day nikko all area pass plus discounted revaty upgrade costs about 8500yen. So to answer your question, pass saves you money on revaty only if you go for 2-days. Hope that helps

Kansai airport only has ICOCA cards which are identical to Suica Welcome or Pasmo Passport in use and function. Only difference is that it requires a 500 yen deposit

There’s a JR Tokyo Wide pass for 15k yen. But it’s only worth it if you are going to travel to many other places. Tokyo to Kamakura round trip train ticket is about 2k yen if no pass

I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

Correct. Activate the eticket in the Klook app just before you board your first bus in Nikko. Show the eticket (which has a count down timer) to the bus driver or train conductor and you are all set. Happy travels!

@@travistravels8818 Thanks for your prompt reply. Keep up the great work. cheers!

Question - Two of us are leaving Nikko for Kanazawa how do we avoid Tokyo and take the Shinkansen direct.

Thank you for the kind words

Thanks for the kind words!

None within walking distance. Closest is in Ueno, a few subway stops away

The initial deposit is 1500 yen then you can use card until balance goes to zero. I never got a low balance alert. Did your purchase amount exceed your balance? That may have caused the low balance alert

Good question. the Hakone Freepass comes in two versions at two different price points, one that includes a round trip btw odawara and shinjuku, and another that does not. Difference in price is about 1000 yen. A one way train ticket on Odakyu line from odawara to shinjuku is also about 1000 yen. So, whether you buy the hakone free pass that includes shinjuku or the cheaper free pass plus one way ticket to shinjuku, the cost is the same. Now to answer your question, I have only purchased the hakone free pass from Shinjuku station . However, I’m 99% sure the Odakyu travel center will be able to hook you up with the more expensive Hakone free pass that includes shinjuku

@@travistravels8818 thanks for the reply :)

@@hakirstendo1514 yes you can buy the hakone free pass on the official odakyu website, from ticketing machine at odawara station, or the service counter at odawara station. I bought mine at the service counter which have English speaking staff. Happy travels!

Good question. You need a foreign passport to purchase Nikko Pass

Thank you!

Unfortunately it doesn’t take credit card

Yes! A regular PASMO card doesn’t expire as long as you use it at least once every 10 years

It’s not better or worse in terms of cost bc you spend same amount of money whether you use Suica welcome card or buy each transportation ticket individually. The only advantage of Suica is time saving.

In case you lose your card and it still has a balance on it, having the receipt Might allow you to reclaim the balance amount. I’m not sure, never tried it. Otherwise receipt has no practical use

It’s a popular attraction that’s for sure

Not bad for a on-strip casino

Yep that it is!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Good eye! I actually tried to look for that option but did not find it. I suspect these 7Bank machines don’t offer it. The denominations you receive depend on what’s available

Me too

Thanks

Thank you!
