Our Choice
Where we bought a JR PASS : KLOOK
Website where we changed our ticket : Eki Net
※ Although Eki Net is a Japanese website, we didn’t have to get our ticket one day in advance. It was more convenient for us.
KLOOK is a Chinese website.
It is the most convenient choice for people who don't know Japanese!
