I purchased a Hokuriku Arch Pass voucher before departure, and it was a great decision. Everything felt more peaceful because the main ticket for the trip was already secured well in advance. Ambiance/Facilities: The voucher was easy to exchange at the JR Office upon arrival in Japan. The counter was neat, the flow was clear, and there were instructions in English. Service: The voucher exchange process was fast and the JR staff were very helpful. They explained how to use the pass, the routes that can be used, and the validity period clearly. Cleanliness: The station area and the exchange counter were clean, organized, and comfortable for newly arrived travelers. Highlights: More economical than buying directly in Japan No worries about running out of passes Easy & fast exchange process Travel became more planned Price: Very good value. Buying a voucher in advance felt more economical and gave a sense of security when planning an itinerary. Conclusion: Buying a Hokuriku Arch Pass voucher before travel is highly recommended for travelers who want an efficient, calm, and hassle-free trip from the start. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
