@KenshoQuest 29 дней назад

Have a wonderful time in Japan!

@darrylk808 Месяц назад

Japan's ticketing system was designed by engineers. Just left Kyoto and learned about base and express ticketing. Also, where to go in the station and how to buy tickets. Shinkansen, go there, K-line go there, Nara line go there, Haruka express go there. Specific machines for specific tickets, different gates to different train lines...🤪 Don't get me started on the User Interface of those ticket machines.😁 Just when you figure it all out, it's time to leave... And we do this everytime we go to Japan!

@KenshoQuest Месяц назад

Aloha, It is super confusing even for Japanese 🤣. Hope you had a great time! See you in Malaysia?

@darrylk808 Месяц назад

@KenshoQuest We will probably be in Malaysia next Feb/Mar. The older I get the less I like the cold. Winter in SE Asia. It's still cold in NorCal so heading to HI for 2 mos soon.

@martinalegrenzi4661 29 дней назад

Well, thank you Klook! I've booked and paid my tickets and after 30 seconds my booking was cancelled and in the refound was minus the commission! No number to call, and if you write an e-mail they warn you that it might take time to get a reply and suggest to use the chat... of course, the chat doesn't work. Never ever again.

@uchacendana809 29 дней назад

Do you receive your refund?

@KenshoQuest 29 дней назад

Hi. Sorry you had that experience. When this happens, Klook should refund the 10% fulfillment fee in a separate transaction. Please keep a look out for that separate refund. It's because 10% is all that Klook earns off the transaction, so it goes into a separate account when you pay. Here's their refund policy: www.klook.com/en-US/ptp-policy/jprail/refundPolicy/ 🌸 Heidi

I'm so anxious about travelinh by train and getting tickets there. But your video is super helpful and the ticket machine looks incredible easy to use! Deutsche Bahn could never 😂

@Aaron-yn4bk 21 день назад

Great video. I love Klook and glad I can change seats on the Shinkansen. Should I purchase all the tickets for my family on my phone? Or will everyone need to purchase their own separately ?

@KenshoQuest 21 день назад

You can purchase them all together on your phone and then use a ticket machine to print the actual tickets.

@Hasanjaroudi 28 дней назад

This is very helpful, thank you for the info. I was so confused as to how Klook reserved seats but I couldnt find any answers as to how it works. Side question, If I am reserving seats for 2 people, in this case do I get 2 QR codes? Or 1 QR code and then 4 tickets? Thanks again.

@KenshoQuest 28 дней назад

Hi, if you reserved them together then you will only get one QR Code and 4 tickets.

@lindal.soo-hoo112 Месяц назад

@txileno Месяц назад

I’m going to be doing the kanazawa to osaka next fall, but I’m not understanding how to make this reservation, because is part shinkansen, and the other with the thunderbird express, any idea of how to do it?

@KenshoQuest Месяц назад

Hi. I'm not currently seeing that route offered on Klook. They might not have updated their offerings since the Hokuriku Shinkansen was extended. You could purchase two tickets from JR West www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/overview/. A ticket for Shin-Osaka Station to Tsuruga Station on the Thunderbird Limited Express. And then a ticket from Tsuruga Station to Kanazawa on the Hokuriku Shinkansen (Hakutaka or Tsurugi). 🌸 Heidi

@luigicuau22 25 дней назад

Thank you very much for the videos, I only have one question, I already investigated and it is better for me to buy the tickets per trip than to buy the JR PASS, my question is: When I arrive in Japan, can I buy the JR tickets for all the trips I plan to take? For example, arriving in Tokyo on September 20 and that day buying a ticket for the 25th from Kyoto to Tokyo and choosing the time and places, this so as not to waste time on each trip training and buying all at once. Thank you very much and I would greatly appreciate your help.

@KenshoQuest 24 дня назад

Hi, yes, you can purchase all at once at JR ticket vending machines at any major station or even at the airport.

@robinsrivastava2179 4 дня назад

Thank you for the information. However, have one doubt. If I buy a Shinkansen ticket for a specific travel date and time then do i need to board only that specific shinkansen Or can i board any shinkansen on that particular date once?

@KenshoQuest 4 дня назад

If you purchase a Reserved seat ticket, then yes, you need to board that specific train at the specific time. Unless you change your reservation before the departure time. However, if you purchase an Non-reserved Shinkansen ticket, you can ride the specific Shinkansen between the designated starting and ending stations at any time that day.

@jimwoodworth9130 Месяц назад

good video. generally speaking, how long does it take to go from ticketing machine to train platform, especially in larger stations? i am afraid of buying tickets 30 minutes before departure, but getting lost. or am i overthinking and its very self-explanatory?

@KenshoQuest Месяц назад

Hi, if you are at a small station then no problem. But as you have already stated if you will be purchasing from somewhere like Tokyo or Ueno station then I don't recommend it. The lines might be long at the ticketing machine and if you aren't familiar with the station it could take a while to get to your platform. But if you will be traveling non-reserved then if you miss your train you could hop on the next available one.

@dannynguyen76 Месяц назад

Lets say you bought 4 tickets 30 days in advance, departure time at 10am, but for some reason you were late and arrive at 12pm, can you still ride on the next train? Do they allow to do that? Do they allow you to change the reservation?

@KenshoQuest Месяц назад

Hi, yes, if you purchased reserved seats and you did not change your seat reservation before your train time then you can still ride on the next train but in non-reserved only and there is no guarantee you will have a seat. You will not be allowed to change your seat reservation once your departure time has passed. If you purchased a non-reserved seat, then no problem, as you can ride non-reserved in the next train.

Hi, if you are looking for an eSIM then I can recommend Airalo global eSIM: airalo.pxf.io/75Pde3 coupon: MAY15 for 15% off first time users But if you need an actual physical SIM then you will need to get two separate SIMs, one for each Japan and Korea.
