Very easy to use. Convenient to be able to view tickets without an internet connection.“You just need to download the app—it’s very quick, and the tickets are easily accessible. The staff on site can scan them quickly, which helps avoid unnecessary queues at the ticket counters.

This was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto! We went for an afternoon show and it was a lovely experience.
