Fuss free exchange at JR Osaka office, and able to reserve JR train tickets via the “green” machine rather than to do it over the counter. Was able to reserve train tickets to KIX as well! Highly recommend if you are considering to take Shinkansen to explore Hiroshima and Kansai area.
We were Surprised by the number of shopping vouchers and free rides under the JR Pass pelago provided a clear link in purchasing this pass. Great experience.
With the pass, it's easy to redeem our Shinkansen reserved tickets and allows for flexibility of our travels for unforeseen circumstances. Highly recommend if you intend to travel across cities and towns.
Once Pelago issue the pass, it’s quite fuss free. Arrived after 8pm at Kansai, most shops closed including Tourist Information Counter in the airport, just head over to JR office at the train station, they have English speaking counter to help tourist.
Easy redemption at JR Osaka train station - just go to the electronic machines with the passport reader. Saved a lot of money with Shinkansen rides included.
sangat worth it, rekomendasi banget beli di Pelago apalagi dapat poin miles.
